A critical read (if you live in Bklyn): "borough park" and "summer camp upstate" are coded indicators that these folks are all orthodox haredim. Because these communities don't attend NY City public schools, they miss out on the vaccinations, leaving themselves vulnerable to MMR. Here's a similar story from January 09 in Belgium: <a href="http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=19087" rel="nofollow">http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?...</a> Note the similarities--one of the MMR diseases, among isolated non-assimilated group, with summer camp involved. If you got the basic MMR as a kid--go vaccinations! yeah!--you are fine. Unless your parents were dumdum hippies. And evaded the system. Don't crap your pants, okay?

Note the similarities–one of the MMR diseases, among isolated non-assimilated group, with summer camp involved.

If you got the basic MMR as a kid–go vaccinations! yeah!–you are fine. Unless your parents were dumdum hippies. And evaded the system.
