South Carolina measles outbreak ‘accelerating,' driving hundreds into quarantine

Some students who remain unvaccinated are now in a second 21-day quarantine since the beginning of the school year.

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials said Wednesday.

As of Wednesday, 111 measles cases had been reported in what’s known as upstate South Carolina — an area in the northwest of the state that includes Greenville and Spartanburg.

“We are faced with ongoing transmission that we anticipate will go on for many more weeks,” Dr. Linda Bell, state epidemiologist for the South Carolina Department of Public Health, said during a news briefing Wednesday.

Distance, isolate, mask, or vaccinate.

They love their orange Fuhrer more than they love their kids.

Did it to themselves .

Where is the outrage over schools being shut down? I seem to recollect that anti vaxers believe in "herd immunity".
