| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] One thousand children in Brooklyn's measles epicenter have received the MMR vaccine in the week since a state of emergency was declared, the Mayor announced today. Last week, Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered the mandatory vaccination of everyone - children and adults - in four Brooklyn ZIP codes affected by the outbreak of 329 measles cases and counting. He said 3,300 children in Williamsburg - the epicenter of the outbreak - had not received their shots. On Friday morning, de Blasio told Brian Lehrer on WNYC that now almost a third of them have complied. Others have refused, however - driving health officials to shutter five schools and summon three parents to court, where they could face a $1,000 fine or jail time. |

| #5 I need a DPT booster but insurance doesn't cover and not many places around here have it. Guess I'll have to suck it up and pay the $100 plus. |

| #4 Kansas has its communities which get treated by the Wichita News as Weird White People, who they roll out whenever some disease breaks out in Wichita, quietly ignoring that Wichita is an official sanctuary city. |
