Mormons likely picked up the first measles cases through the travel of individuals from their sister location in Mexico. Their unvaccinated status allowed it proliferate and spread.

The question now with the max enforcement of vaccinations is whether this outbreak ever truly stops? It would seem with the policy only a year old that this would require only contagion of the very young, which is not the case.

I don’t see this as ever truly being a contained situation without mandatory vaccination, but this would require curtailing individual and religious freedoms. I don’t see this being solved.
