Latest fatality is unvaccinated woman, 39, with ‘underlying conditions’ but CDC still lists only two deaths nationwide
A sixth death has been announced in Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak, as new figures show cases in the state have risen above 1,100.
The most recent fatality was reported in Franklin county on Monday in a statement posted to Facebook by its coroner. The victim was identified as a 39-year-old female who “had several underlying conditions, including a past diagnosis of measles with treatment”.
The coroner, James Conner, said it was the first measles-related death in the county “for many years” – and that the patient’s recent diagnosis met the definition of the Pennsylvania health department for inclusion.
Who could have possibly seen this coming?
The Pitt, for starters.
Well, Roald Dahl did his best, but that was aimed at the UK. I guess it was no match for the scientific brilliance of people like Jenny McCarthy.

Dahl stated that “it really is almost a crime to allow your child to go unimmunized.”
It’s a shame it cannot be made into literally a crime.
Seems like an unnecessary jab at someone related only by a belief.
Screw her. Jenny got kids killed.
Beliefs can affect a person’s choices and that belief is a choice to be an asshole.
