More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of unvaccinated school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 110 people.
Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Outbreak Shows No Sign of Slowing
The outbreak shows no signs of slowing, likely because of the affected area’s “lower-than-hoped-for vaccination coverage,” a state health official said.

One of the first patients I saw “talk and die” in the ER had liver cirrhosis and a GI bleed from hepatitis B.
He came in totally lucid and said “I feel like I’m going to die.” Then he proceeded to vomit up his entire blood volume, and despite all our efforts, he died.
This is why we’re so mad.

Tracy Hoeg: Voting to stop universally vaccinating newborns against hep B vaccine would "put us in line with peer countries."
Note: Which peer countries is she talking about? Taiwan began immunizing all babies on first day of life 6 years before the U.S., with huge success.
