The group Hurley was traveling with when he contracted the disease met with both of Iowa's US Senators on the trip (Dung-heap Harkin and Charles Grassley).

Isn't mumps a disease that included in childhood immunizations? Or have "they" decided that the vaccine is no longer needed becasue of so few cases or becasue of the anti-vaccine crowed?

It's interesting that the CDC is saying 95% of the people that got the mumps were fully vaccinated, yet is responding to all this by ordering thousands more vaccination supplies and encouraging people to get vaccinated. Of course, vaccinations are big money for doctors...

Mumps in an adult male is no joke. You can't even bear the weight of a blanket if it moves south.

Mumps used to be primarily a childhood disease. Knowing the mayor's age would seem to be basic information, but the author is apparently a journalist and not a reporter.

The iron-clad rule of epidemiology is that the original locus of infection must be identified and PUBLICIZED.

Yet, lo and behold, we can hear a PIN DROP! Complete silence!

Why? Because immigration is on the hot-seat right now, and the culprits were ILLEGAL ALIENS.

RIGHT?

But hey, bird flu MIGHT maybe mutate and make people sick. Mumps is bad for adolescents and adults.

All of these illegal immigrants flooding into our country are bringing diseases that we conquered many years ago, but many of our younger generations are not immune to these now.

Thank you RINOs.

What really sucks is the cook at my favorite local tavern contracted mumps. I'm staying away for a few days.
