  • Jehovah's Witnesses knocking at your door may have measles

    Two European tourists with measles potentially exposed others at three Jehovah's Witness facilities in the greater New York City area, health officials said Saturday night.

    The two tourists visited the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on New Jersey Avenue in Brooklyn between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on April 15.

    They also visited Watchtower World Headquarters on Kings Drive in Tuxedo Park between 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on April 16 and the Watchtower Educational Center on Watchtower Drive in Patterson between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on April 17.

    Officials urged anyone who was exposed and is suffering symptoms to contact a health care provider before seeking treatment in order to minimize exposure.

      I guess the US also has measles vaccines nearing their expiration date, so they need to go. Same shit happened here some months ago:

        Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni blamed a decrease in vaccinations in part on a "spread of anti-scientific theories".

        A lingering false belief that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jab causes autism is largely to blame, despite the claims being disproven and the doctor who made them being struck off.

        What is measles?
        • Unvaccinated young children are at highest risk of measles and its complications, including death
        • Measles is spread by direct contact and through the air by coughs and sneezes
        • The virus remains active and contagious on infected surfaces for up to two hours
        • The first signs of infection are usually a high fever and cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose
        • You may notice small white spots on the inside of the cheeks as well
        • After several days, a rash develops, usually on the face and neck first and then spreading to the body and limbs
        • An infected person can pass on the virus to others from four days prior to developing the skin rash to four days after the rash erupts
        • There is no treatment, but two doses of vaccine can prevent infection in the first place

          Ah yes, that crap too. Further proof people will believe everything they read on the Internet. The good thing is seeing so-called "educated" people making asses of themselves on TV spouting that nonsense.
