All but one of the cases reported due to contact with the Israeli man known as “Michigan’s patient zero” are in Oakland County, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. The man was in the area fundraising for a Brooklyn-based charity.
The number on March 26, when the Detroit Jewish News reported the outbreak, was 18.
The Israeli had visited synagogues, businesses and yeshivas before the Purim holiday after arriving from New York, where there is a measles outbreak in some Orthodox Jewish communities.
Stop spreading disease, you miscreant anti-vaxx alt-humans.
only the Real Trumpist Jews (Orthodox) would do such a great Kiddush Hashem.
All you anti vaxxers do is making sure anti-Semites to point at Jews as the “dirty filthy jew” who spread diseases.
SHAME ON ALL of you who spread misinformation to naive people.
The Chilul Hashem is unbelievable.
The plot thickens
I hope nobody dies or is seriously injured by this disease.
