A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that more than 90 percent of the children infected in last year’s measles outbreak in Ohio were unvaccinated.
The report published Friday looked at the 85 total confirmed cases, all among children located in central Ohio, and found 94 percent of them did not receive the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella. Additionally, 80 out of the 85 cases were in children under the age of 5, according to Columbus Public Health.
The CDC reported the average age of reported cases was 1 year, the age in which children become eligible for the MMR vaccine. The CDC found 71 percent of patients were either 1 year old or older, though only 5 percent, or three patients, documented their first dose of the MMR vaccine.
The measles outbreak in Ohio was officially confirmed Nov. 9, 2022, and was declared over Feb. 4 — 42 days after the last reported case. No deaths were reported, though 36 patients were hospitalized, primarily for dehydration, according to the CDC.
“This outbreak serves as a reminder that health care facilities, medical providers, and child care facilities serving undervaccinated populations should maintain vigilance for measles and emphasize the importance of timely MMR vaccination,” the CDC wrote.
The report follows data from Columbus Public Health released earlier this year, which showed the majority of children infected in last year’s outbreak were unvaccinated.
Were 100% illegal aliens?
How many of them were citizens and not illegal migrant vermin?
Just another gift from biden.
FYI Ohio has an Amish population second only to Pennsylvania’s.
Possibly some were Amish and/or Mennonites. Just a supposition,
Vitamin C in sufficient amount will cure measles or any other acute viral infection. It was published over 70 years ago, and it is still little known https://www.mv.helsinki.fi/home/hemila/klenner.htm#mozTocId780554
That’s my guess since MMR is one the vaccines that pretty much every kid gets.
So how many of them died compared to those who took a jab?
Up to 20,000 migrant children will have been absorbed by New York City’s public schools when the school year starts on Sept. 7. None will be required to show proof of vaccinations when they enroll, as is required for children of New Yorkers.

Didn’t we used to have measle parties for the kids when one got sick for natural immunity??
Eliminate the 3rd world invaders and we will have these menacing diseases eradicated all over again. Close the border, MINEh border and shoot any border crossers. BOTH BORDERS
I’d bet $ they were illegals.
That's how it was when I was a kid, circa 1950. You got measles. You lived on toast and ginger ale for 3-4 days. You got over it. Immune for the rest of your life.* No big deal. Same with mumps.
*Yeah, OK, shingles....get the shot.
More interesting is the 6% who were but got it anyway.
I’ll take the Mexicans over the Canadians these days. One will keep my shrubs trimmed up whereas the other will jail me if I get a pronoun wrong.
500 children a year died of measles prior to vaccine.
In what way is that more interesting?
A significant number of children died every year prior to the vaccine of measles...not counting the many more those who suffered through very serious illness. Should we yearn for those days again?
You’re joking?
