This is what you get when you invite the 3rd world into Western Civilization.

More like thank the anti-vax movement which stemmed in Britain and has been expanded by Americans. This is what happens when dangerous, Western anti-sciene infests the third world.

Oh look, let's all be scared of foreigners again.

The reason measles is a concern is because negligent idiots and gullible fools have stopped vaccinating their children - putting the whole community at risk. Pinning this on the brown man is low sport, even for 4chan and truthfeed.

No, it's what you get when you allow anti-vaxx whackjobs to infect civilisation.

What did the Americans and Australians get when Europeans invaded those continents?

O well, that's another ironymeter blown to smithereeens.

And yeah, you couldn't blame the fatal spread of infectious diseases on the antivaxxers among the natives in those days.

Did Anti-Vaxxers Spark a Measles Outbreak in an Immigrant Community?

Attempts by anti-vaccine activists to influence the Somali parents of Minnesota have ended with a measles outbreak that has made dozens of kids sick.

Beginning in April 2017, Minnesota suffered its worst measles outbreak in almost 30 years. By May 9, 50 people, mostly children under the age of 5 and almost all unimmunized, had contracted the disease; 11 were hospitalized. Most were American-born children of Somali immigrants. At the time of the outbreak, only 42 percent of the Somalis had been immunized against measles, compared with 88.5 percent of non-Somalis in the community. It hadn’t always been that way. In 2004, 92 percent of the Somali population in Minnesota had been immunized, slightly more than the general community.

What happened?

Between 2004 and 2008, Somali parents living in Hennepin County, Minnesota, became concerned that some of their children were being diagnosed with autism and placed in special classes. What they didn’t know was why.

The first to provide answers was a well-organized group of anti-vaccine activists who showed up at community health meetings, convincing Somali parents that their children had been harmed by the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Immunization rates started to decline. By 2008, only 70 percent of the Somali population had received MMR, well below the 95 percent threshold required to provide herd immunity.

“The internet and everyone in the community told me MMR causes autism,” said one parent. “Everybody is afraid.”

Then a well-known anti-vaccine activist wrote a letter. In 2008, under the title “An Open Letter to the Somali Parents of Minnesota,” J. B. Handley, the founder of the anti-vaccine group Generation Rescue, urged Somali parents to declare “a state of emergency within your community and create a new vaccine schedule for your kids.” He told Somalis not to trust the Minnesota Department of Health: “a puppet of the CDC.”

Handley explained that Somali children were “simply pawns in this unfortunate corrupt game.” He warned parents that the Minnesota Department of Health was acting out of “denial, corruption, and self-protection,” and explained how parents could legally opt out of vaccinating their children.

In 2011, the inevitable happened. A 30-month-old U.S.-born child of Somali descent visited Kenya and contracted measles. When the child returned to Minnesota, the virus spread through the community, sickening 26 people. In the midst of this outbreak, Andrew Wakefield, the British researcher who had published a paper claiming that MMR caused autism, visited Hennepin County.
