Texas issues measles alert
Citing four confirmed measles cases in the last month and nine cases for the year, the Texas Department of State Health Services has issued a health alert and is urging immunization against this highly contagious illness.
State health officials are asking health care providers to be on alert for potential exposures and patients with measles symptoms, particularly in the North Texas area. The four most recently confirmed cases are from Tarrant County. Other Texas counties with cases this year include Dallas (2), Denton (2) and Harris (1).
Gee - if only there was a vaccine for that.
The idea that people withhold vaccines from their children over the autism scare is unconscionable. The whole scare story came from one Doctor in England, in the pay of a bunch of lawyers. His sample size was twelve children. He had his medical license revoked and the paper in Lancet was redacted. There is zero truth in the story.
