These diseases typically manifest in areas with high populations of religious fanatics. Many of the cases that I have heard of originate in the boroughs NYC. Sounds strange that a large population of religious fanatics would reside in NYC but they are there.

This is not true. Rates of vaccine refusal among Jews is almost exactly the same as that of the general public. The most you can say is that Jews have more contact with each other (they have strong community ties) so the virus has a chance to spread. PS. Good job labeling ordinary people "religious fanatics". You might want to take a deep look inside yourself.

That is false. The rates of vaccine refusal for secular Jews is the same as the general public. The rate of vaccine refusal for Orthodox Jews is radically higher than the general public--second only to Jehovah's Witnesses on a proportionate basis.

Directly from the CDC for 2018 outbreaks. >The U.S. experienced 17 outbreaks in 2018. Three outbreaks in New York State, New York City, and New Jersey, respectively, contributed to most of the cases. Cases in those states occurred primarily among unvaccinated people in Orthodox Jewish communities. These outbreaks were associated with travelers who brought measles back from Israel, where a large outbreak is occurring.…

And? Vaccination rates among Orthodox Jews is the same as the general population, only the close contact part is different.

Yes, thank god we have no head of state questioning vaccines and no federal agencies dismantling health related regulations. thank god No, health epidemics could never thrive in our amazing country because we have safe meat markets

You're right, they couldn't, because the US has much stricter safety regulations to prevent stuff like this from happening. Unlike China, the West tries to learn from its mistakes. It's why we have so much bureaucracy. The cost of red tape seems excessive until shit like this happens in the places that don't have red tape.
