Measles outbreaks are at alarming levels

According to a news report at ABC, measles infections are at their highest level in a decade. So far there have been 131 cases this year in the United States as opposed to 42 cases throughout the entire last year. Over half of those infected are children who did not receive the vaccine. Also alarming is the number of outbreaks, in a normal year there is one in the United States. This year, as of July 30, there have been seven outbreaks. The reason for the rising number of children not receiving the shots is because of the fear that the immunization leads to autism in some children.
