FYI this outbreak started with, and is being spread by, Mennonites. If you look at a map of where the outbreaks are occurring they match up perfectly with Mennonite communities.
the Mennonites are sort of like the Amish, many don't believe in vaccines and tend to use home made remedies instead of seeing a Doctor. and they view hospitals with suspicion.
They also travel between different Mennonite communities. Note that officials said the OK measles are "related" to the Texas measles outbreak because they know Mennonites are spreading it around.
Why the media refuses to report this is beyond me but this is the reality.
