The Washington Post has an article about a measles outbreak in Ohio. Of course, the publication tried to tie it to people hesitant about the COVID vaccine.
Any Legal Insurrection reader knows measles cases have increased ever since that wacko “scientist” claimed the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine caused autism. Leslie keeps us updated on anything related to viruses!
But the featured image.
Wait wait wait!
One of the photos in the article is also of a Jew in NYC in 2019.
WHY.
The story is about a measles outbreak in Columbus, OH, while also mentioning an outbreak in Minnesota in a similar community. Hint: Not the Jewish community:
Some of the cases occurred in Columbus’s large Somali community, the second-largest Somali population in the United States after the Minneapolis area, Roberts said. Parents have said they “intentionally delayed” giving their children the measles vaccine because of their fear of autism, she said, despite considerable research disproving any relationship between vaccines and autism. Those fears echoed similar concerns of parents in Minnesota’s Somali community during a 2017 measles outbreak that infected 75 children, mostly unvaccinated preschool kids.Minnesota is also battling a new measles outbreak — 22 cases — as vaccine hesitancy around the MMR vaccine continues to be an issue, said Doug Schultz, spokesman for the Minnesota health department.Officials are bracing for more cases in the coming weeks as families travel and gather indoors for the holidays. At least 29 of the Ohio children have been hospitalized, some so sick they required intensive care.Most of the sickened children — 78 percent — are Black, 6 percent are Asian, 6 percent are White, and 4 percent are Hispanic, according to Columbus officials.
But not Jews..except for a 2019 outbreak. Yes, 2019…BEFORE the COVID outbreak and vaccine.
What. The. Heck.
You would miss the mention of Orthodox Jews in the article if you skimmed it. One line:
In 2019, the United States reported the highest annual number of measles cases — 1,294 — in more than 25 years; three-fourths of those cases occurred among New York’s Orthodox Jewish communities.
Overall, the word “Jewish” appears three times in the article, under the photos’ description and the 2019 outbreak.
