[Minimalist]

And yet.... it worked.

Along with vaccines for polio and mumps, the measles vaccine was a triumph of investigative research and public health when it debuted in 1968. It quickly became part of the lineup of childhood injections that would inoculate the child and protect society from the scourge of the sometimes fatal and always painful disease. Widespread vaccinations eventually led to the elimination of measles in the U.S. in 2000 and the Americas (North, Central and South) in 2002.

But a series of stumbling blocks — notably, a fraudulent and discredited 1998 study linking vaccinations to the onset of autism — set vaccination rates back in certain communities in the U.S. The backsliding has resulted in several measles outbreaks in the past year in a country that had already declared measles defeated. Read on to see why the U.S. should be concerned about this unprecedented measles resurgence.

I guess a couple of hundred dead kids is the price to be paid so yuppie-scum parents can feel "empowered."
