<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->A measles outbreak linked to Disneyland in California from over the holidays has spread to over 50 persons, which has been blamed on the declining rate of immunizations in the US.

People with compromised immune systems can actually get measles and many other diseases normally considered either one time or controllable with a set of immunizations and boosters OVER AND OVER. This is serious either way as the outbreak has spread outward and now has cases confirmed in Mexico and Washington State as well.

Immunizations (and boosters) have their own not-so-well-known problems. The Gardasil vax is most notorious in that regard - protection, maybe, but a fair number of young girls drop dead soon after getting the vax. They are shoved under the ground in coffins, and the news is swept under the rug. Off to the the memory hole, either way. That this measles outbreak is issuing forth from Disney speaks of darker things afoot...
