    The anti-vaxxers have won. Congratulations on a stupid prize, and thanks for sharing.

      I’m not sure if you read the article, but the person in question did get partially vaccinated, just never got the booster shot.

      I don’t believe that this is some sort of ideological-opposition-to-vaccinations thing.

        I didn’t, but I wasn’t blaming the individual necessarily. But if we didn’t have anti-vaxxers, this person probably wouldn’t have measles right now. Cases are up in a lot of North America thanks to the efforts of anti-vaxxers.

          Maybe. The article also said that while they didn’t know for sure where the person had been exposed, they had traveled abroad recently.
