Reply #49: A little background on that measles outbreak [View All]

[willing dwarf]

I had friends who lost kids in that outbreak ( I believe it was 1990). The Church, Faith Tabernacle, that lost kids, didn't believe in doctors or medicine (like the Amish, but in the city). I had friends who lost two children-- they weren't vaccinated because of their faith. Since then, a lot of those families have left the church. The family I knew lost the dad to a disease not much later. Needless to say these families have lots of kids, lots of unnamed diseases, lots of difficulties. At the same time, they are some of the most whole and happy people I know.
