Of course, your Fox News link utterly fails to mention that the Department of Health says the vaccine fraud scare movement is partly to blame, since all children should have been vaccinated.
It's going around where I live, too. Fortunately we have a very high vaccination rate so very few people in this area have a serious case - but people in areas of New South Wales with low vaccination rates have seen several babies die.
