If that's where the deaths were, they have the largest Amish population in the US.

Of course, any searches will immediately point to Trump & RFK pushing to reduce the number of vaccines in children, and ignore the fact that even if they were trying to discontinue the measles vaccines, those changes would not have impacted any of these individuals as this is a recent change that has not gone into effect yet, and does not remove measles vaccine from the recommended vaccine list.

While the left will certainly jump on this as a way to shite on Trump, I'm not sure if your framing is entirely fair, either. No, those changes have not gone into effect and no, they don't reschedule the measles vaccine. However, the rate of "religious exemptions" granted for vaccinations has more than doubled, from 2% to 4.2% in the last five years. I don't think it's reasonable to say that the populist right in the US gets a full pass on that issue.

It's also worth noting that Pennsylvania as a whole has one of the highest non-medical vaccine exemption rates in the country at 6% of Kindergarteners (and that's obviously kids attending public schools).

The right wingers love to blame immigrants when they refuse to take responsibility for their own actions in this context.


As a white male cuck I agree. There’s a lot of men just like me on the OT, and we appreciate you being the voice for us!!

Odd how they never release the demographic data in these stories.

Health Departments typically don't for privacy reasons. Even when they'd report to individual schools here in Kentucky if a kid had a communicable disease, it was pretty limited as to who had access to that information (and you didn't provide demographics when you sent the school notice out either).

You think the loss of public trust in health institutions is the fault of the right wing? Are you serious?

Illegals or Amish.

There are definitely other guilty parties but they are far from innocent on this issue

They’ve stated when breakouts have occurred among the Amish before.

No vaccines, no care…as far as I am concerned, that;s natural selection at work.

It is a shame when kids suffer as a result of stupidity of their parents, though.

Then they had some serious health issues. Measles ain’t shite. Like chicken pox.

Buttttt I guarantee we’ll find out the real reason in a week or so and not one word will be in the media.

Also before you scream if you’re vaccinated why care. You’re protected right???

There is no privacy issue giving statistics on race, sex, ethnicity, vaccine status, etc.

Which means it's not for privacy reasons.

Maybe the the focus should be the obesity epidemic. Fit and healthy people tend to fight off disease much better than fat/unhealthy people.
