303 Diagnosed With Mumps In NYC Suburbs

Well this is annoying, isn't it? For the pharmaceutical industrial complex, I mean. Over 300 diagnosed cases of mumps? Are we to believe that all 300-plus of these children were not vaccinated? Doesn't "MMR" stand for measles, mumps and rubella? This is not an isolated incident. In October at least 57 children came down with the disease in Brooklyn. We're to believe they weren't vaccinated either?

Vaccines are quackery, folks. Don't ever get one. Don't ever give them to your children.

WCBSTV New York -

More than 300 people have been diagnosed with the mumps in suburban New York as the nation's largest outbreak of the disease in years continues to spread.

A health official says a total of 303 people in the Rockland County towns of Monsey and New Square have been diagnosed with the highly infectious disease. Almost all the cases are among Orthodox or Hasidic Jews.

Investigators say the outbreak started in August 2009 at a Jewish summer camp in Sullivan County with an 11-year-old boy who brought the disease from England.

It has since spread to Jewish communities in Brooklyn, New Jersey and Orange county.

Mumps spreads through saliva, coughing and sneezing. Common symptoms are flu-like and include swelling of the salivary glands.
