Any rabbi Anti-Vaxxer (and his demented wife) have no right to be considered a leader on any matter for any sane Jews. They lost it ...and do not have the mental capacity to understand right from wrong...real from fantasy!

NEW YORK (AP) — Outbreaks in New York state continue to drive up the number of U.S. measles cases, which are approaching levels not seen in 25 years.

Health officials say 71 more cases were reported last week, with 68 of them from New York. That brings this year's total to 626.

That is already the most since 2014, when 667 were reported for the whole year. The most before that was 963 cases in 1994.

Twenty-two states have reported cases, but the vast majority have been in New York — mainly in New York City and in nearby Rockland County. Most of the New York cases have been unvaccinated people in Orthodox Jewish communities.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the latest numbers Monday.

    Warning.... If you are on any type of drug that fools with your immune system (for example, Methotrexate for Rheumatoid Arthritis), check with your doctor before getting the MMR Vaccine. Since the MMR vaccine is a live vaccine, it can mess you up pretty badly if your immune system is compromised.

    Here in Indiana, pharmacies will give you the MMR, Shingles, Flu etc without a prescription. The Shingles vaccine (Shingrex) is a killed vaccine, so it's safe to give to people with compromised immune systems.

    However, the MRR vaccine, as I said before, is a live vaccine, and should only be given under the express direction of your doctor.
