History repeats itself for the nth time in a decade as yet another community suffers through a measles outbreak that traces directly to antivaccine fervor and thoroughly debunked claims that vaccines cause autism. It's the second measles outbreak in the last few years in this particularly vulnerable population. All but 2 of the 44 people diagnosed so far in the state's largest measles outbreak in almost 30 years are unvaccinated. And for the same reasons that a Texas megachurch experienced a measles outbreak in 2013. And for the same reasons that Minnesota already experienced a measles outbreak back in 2011, in the same community.
