Measels is on the rise in the U.S. There have been sixty-four cases this year alone. Only one of these patients can be shown to have had the vaccine. There have been no fatalities so far.

Sixteen of these children are from families who declined vaccination for religious or other resasons, including fear of autism.

You know, the religious angle I can respect because in those cases--I assume--the parents acknowledge the risks of declining vaccination and accept them, but people, it was a good question to ask, "Do vaccines cause autism," but the matter has been examined and the answer came back NO! GET YOUR KIDS VACCINATED ALREADY!!
