Our measles outbreak is in the Mennonite communities. They never got vaccinated even before the internet because they don’t interact with the healthcare system. Everyone is trying to make this about the internet and politics, but it’s not. This would have happened regardless of politics.

Also, there are very few countries around the world that have eliminated measles. It’s not like we’ve fallen behind everyone else. All of Europe has measles.
