From the (boneheaded) editor: My apologies. I pooched this one in a way that is exceptional, even for me. I humbly beg your forgiveness. The line for torches is on the left, and pitchforks is on the right. Please, move on to the next story and don't waste any further time on this one.

Regards,

    Seriously, just get vaccinated. This story is bullshit.

    A "live"vaccine is not a full-on infection of a disease, it's one that's been weakened so that you *don't* get ill, but still produce the antibodies.

    If there was an outbreak of measles at Disneyland, ITS BECAUSE SOMEONE AT DISNEYLAND HAD MEASLES.

    Next up: Homeopathy - it really works!

    Homeopathy does work - it convinces rich idiots to spend tons of money on water, which is the point of the exercise.

      Laugh all you want, but placebos [wikipedia.org] were shown to have real and lasting effect.

      P.S. That finally explains many of the biblical miracles.

    The most disturbing thing about this article is not that it made the front page, but its that the "editor" henceforth in this post known as "Timmy light" actually seems to be defending it by talking up all of the wonderful sources at the bottom of the source "article."

    I vote from now on if timmy-light is going to approve a story he has to READ THE ENTIRE THING FIRST. Because even though timmy-light tells us to read the fine "article" in the summary, only a fool could have read that "article" and not smell the BS coming from it.

    Sorry, but many vaccines DO cause one to be slightly infectious. It's generally an extremely mild form of the disease, and unlikely to spread, but contagion is possible.

    If you get some vaccines you are cautioned to stay away from young children and pregnant women for a week or so. (I think how long depends on the vaccine.) This is *probably* unnecessary, as the disease is so mild that it's probably difficult to catch it from you, but it is possible, so they warn you.

    I can envision that someone who was vaccinated ignored the warnings and passed the disease onto someone else who hadn't been vaccinated BEFORE the visit to Disneyland, and then that someone visited Disneyland while fully contagious. That could happen, and some people do ignore warnings.

    It would still be the disease being spread by and among those who were unvaccinated, of course.
