Happiness is Not the Only Contagious Thing At Disney California!!!

That's right folks, the Measles is alive and well at both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure in Southern California. At leas 60 cases have been linked to these 2 theme parks since Dec 2014, the most recent case was just this past Sunday at Disneyland. A cast member, that's what Disney calls it's employees, tested positive for Measles. Oh and if you were vaccinated prior to 1989, you might not be safe. You need at least 2 vaccinations if your vaccination was taken prior to 1989. You can get a simple blood test to see if you are safe or not. Measles was thought to be eradicated in 2000 in the USA but 2014 saw a record-breaking number of confirmed cases: 644 from 27 states, according to the CDC. This is due mostly to those parents who refuse to vaccinate their children for fear of giving them Autism. Autism is NOT caused by vaccinations. If it was, there would be a much higher number of Autistic children out there. So Disney is recommending that if you are not vaccinated, please stay away from their parks for the near future. And if you were vaccinated prior to 1989 get tested to make sure you have enough antibodies against the Measles or get a booster shot. I say it's better to be safe than sorry. Get another booster shot and just call it a day! Like if I was gonna go to Disneyland, I would definitely get another booster shot, because I was vaccinated way back in the 1960s when I was a kid.
