One word QUARANTINE
Melanie Nau Keating what’s crazy is that the one who went to the DMV in Lakewood..KNEW he had it!!! He had gone to the ER and they told him!! First off..they should not of let him go..quarantine is right!! But secondly, he should be charged with endangerment since he knew he had it and went out into the public!!
Tracy Lloyd omg. I did not know that!!
He is an ass if he knew and went anyway
Melanie Nau Keating yeh it should be easy to do !!!!
Melanie Nau Keating sickening!! I just don’t get it!! When they posted about the DMV one..that’s when I found out he knew and where he found out. And it gave a list of other places he went to so others would know. Maybe if they would actually vaccinate, they wouldn’t have to worry about making other people sick and possibly killing them or causing unborn children to have serious birth defects or be stillborn. Makes me sick
they’re claiming it’s religious discrimination and anti-semitism to quarantine them. despite the fact that it has been accepted medical practice for decades to control outbreaks of disease. they’re actually going out in public after they know they’ve been exposed. and after they actually develop the disease. that’s the reason the boh cannot stop the spread.
Isn’t this just one Lakewood household?
Patrick Brennan That was classic
Nice.
Mark Phillip
One room
Vaccinate!!
Look at the vaccination in that area! It’s terrible!
Stefanie Lynn
COME ON
So why do we need vaccines again. ??
Marylou Mccarthy ..don’t you know, that’s how they got measles….lmao
idiots throw out their romaine lettuce because there afraid they might get sick , but they don’t vaccinate their kids .
Peggy Brednich Belavich maybe one ☝? f the dumbest comments I’ve read in a long time??♀️? maybe more toxins and chemical in vaccinate brainiac!
Melanie Hulick I agree Melanie
Still…its the law…vaccinate or have cps on your door…there is no exceptions
Scott A Barnes lol it’s not the law. And cps can’t do shit. Better learn a thing or two before you start typing.
Lmao it’s not the “law” to vaccinate. Vaccines are not mandatory
Gale Cleary Thomlinson really…then read this then…all children MUST be vaccinated in order to start kindergarten…CPS can get involved because i have seen it. only anti vaxxers listening to dropouts or the town fool actually the bs links to autism n other dfiseases
Get you kids vaccinated you damn fools
Scott A Barnes if it’s not than it should be , these idiots a damn fools
Again…still false. Good try though. 1.Children can start school without vaccinations as long as they have either a religious or medical exemption.
2. Autism is not the only reason people choose not to vaccinate. There are plenty of side effects that are much much scarier
3. Vaccines are not one size fits all so saying that they should be mandatory is ridiculous. Where there is a risk there must be a choice. If your choice is to vaccinate then you should have nothing to worry about.
Scott A Barnes Gail I bet your parents had your ass vaccinated
Maybe…just MAYBE before you become keyboard warriors and start calling people names you should read an ACTUAL vaccine insert and check out the ingredients, listed complications etc. And I dont mean that little piece of paper the doctor gives you, I mean the real insert
Gale Cleary Thomlinson I bet your parents had your ass vaccinated
You’re right, they did. And the amount of vaccines I had was much lower than what they are giving now. And yes my children were vaccinated, thankfully without complications.
Guess what though, although my children are fine there are plenty that are not. Vaccine injury is very real, I seriously doubt you would have the balls to get in the face of a parent with a vaccine injured child and tell them they need to give more vaccines.
I would never tell someone else to vaccinate or not vaccinate because of my views. It’s a parents choice for their child
People who where vaccinated 20 or more years ago do they need to be redone
Not always. If you have insurance you can ask your Dr to do titers blood work. It checks your levels for MMR, varicella (chicken pox), hepatitus a-c etc. The titers blood work checks your immunity levels and then they can go from there IF you need a booster.
Ashley McDonald Thank you
also depends on when you were vaccinated. some of the earlier versions of the vaccine stop working. many docs are re-vaccinating everyone who was given the vaccine in the early 60s.
Diana Lipman-Malko actually having the measles will give you life long immunity. So most likely yes. That’s why when ppl talk about herd immunity, it’s bs. Half the ppl who were vaccinated for this, aren’t still!
Leachwood residents think its ok not to follow any laws
Joseph Todaro they don’t have to
They should quarantine themselves
Not all in lake wood do this
they think their above everyone else
Peggy Brednich Belavich ding ding ding your right! They sure do!
Selfish scumbags!!
All avoidable if people got vaccinated
If they were told by the hospital that they have it..shouldn’t the hospital be charged for something for not quarantining them? Or, shouldn’t the ones who weren’t quarantined and knew that they had it and still went out into the public be charged with endangerment or something? Or would they consider charging them with endangering the public bias?
they’re claiming it’s anti-semitism and religious discrimination to quarantine them even after they’ve been exposed…so they’re refusing to quarantine. the hospital isn’t a police state. neither they nor the boh can force it. i wish they could. remember these are adults who are spreading this everywhere. not kids.
Kelley Bless oh I understand. And the adults should have to face some sort of consequences for their decisions. Every other adult does. The children have no say. Just makes me sick that these “adults” know what they are doing and have no disregard for anyone else
i understand they’ve filed or are going to file a religious discrimination suit against the state board of health for trying to quarantine them. hey..it’s your right to choose not to be vaccinated, but it isn’t your right to go around after exposure to a disease and expose everyone else….especially those of us who cannot for various reasons be re-vaccinated…and would if we could. accepted medical practice to control a disease outbreak is not religious discrimination!
In a state with 8 million people and 15 of them have measles. Let me try not to panic. Lol
Yeah but uh, it’s in your county.
My body doesn’t make antibodies for the measles, regardless of the vaccinations I’ve gotten and 3 boosters in the past 5 years. Those 15 cases in the town I work in poses a major threat to my health. So yeah, try not to panic because don’t worry- you’re entitled to your immunity. Some of us aren’t so lucky.
Kim Berly Ann people like you and babies under a year old are the reason it is so important. I hope you dont come in contact with anyone who has the measles. I am sorry to hear that. This problem needs to end.
Just stay away from Lakewood, Jackson, Tom’s River and any surrounding areas to Lakewood those Jews don’t travel far
i cannot be re-vaccinated either….and measles could kill me. these people are refusing to quarantine, and effectively making people like me hostages to fate. quarantine is an accepted medical practice used for decades to control outbreaks of various diseases……..not anti-semitism and religious discrimination!
Steven Smith yes Howell too
Steven Smith yes they do, I’ve seen those roaches in the Freehold Raceway Mall over the weekend. And yes they were dragging they’re kids around.
Tim
Laura Skii try telling that to a parent with a child less than 1 year old.
Cesare Passarelli Jr. or a highly compromised immune system….
Annette Rosin Quinn exactly!
Vaccinate your kids….its the law no religious exceptions!!!
it’s not kids who are spreading this. the carriers for most of this are unvaccinated adults who are refusing to quarantine after exposure.
Legally they cannot refuse…technically they can be arrested for creating a public health issue
Wow an irrelevant emoji…n nuttin to say…
Kelley Bless no where does it state they were unvaccinated. I’m going to assume they were in fact vaccinated or the headlines would be UNVACCINATED SPREADING MEASLES. to fear monger. ??♀️
Ariana Hankinson other reports state this guy was not who caused this measles outbreak…felt he didnt have to due to faith..
Ariana Hankinson there have been several news articles which state that the disease is being spread by unvaccinated adults. further, they’re spreading it a rapid rate due to refusal to quarantine….they’re claiming quarantine is anti-semitic and religious discrimination. also look at the articles on international news about the thousands of cases in israel..an official epidemic.. caused by refusal to vaccinate.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING! Disease spreading, anti-vaxers.. Put them all on an island and stay the hell away from us!! Another reason why VACCINES SHOULD BE REQUIRED BY LAW!!
Melissa Benson yes if traveling to shit hole countries because that’s how it happened it didn’t just appear out of thin air to someone that wasn’t vaccinated
Steven Smith doesn’t matter how it appeared. If more people were vaccinated, less people would be sick right now.
Melissa Benson they are required
Scott A Barnes not mandated the way they should be. There are better ways to control this new trend of choosing not to vaccinate or creating false “religious exemptions”. It’s going to take several children and adults dying before people realize that these vaccines are made for a reason.
Melissa Benson you dumb information girl. Tell that with someone who’s child has a vaccine injury or has died from vaccines. You clearly are so uneducated and know nothing about the dangers. You probably live off McDonald’s and think that’s healthy too. You’re not educated at all. Go learn something, better yet watch one of these and learn a thing or two.
Megan ??♀️
Laura L Roetman see this shit. Out of control.
Kristen Szymanski-Congilose Taralynn Lucchetti Ranaudo Kristyn Carrozzino Danielle Kidney
Most people have had measles or been immunized or both. Babies are at risk keep babies out of public places. Especially drs offices
you forget about those of us with auto immune disease…on chemo…allergic….etc.
Kelley Bless but if they have had measles or been inoculated their risk is negligible. Biggest risk is to anyone that has never been inoculated. It’s really not of major concern
that’s where you’re wrong. people with auto immune diseases, people on chemo, people who are allergic to the vaccine…in other words, people who cannot be vaccinated or re-vaccinated are at serious risk….especially those with compromised immune systems. chemo. ms. als, cystic fibrosis, lupus, chron’s, ibd, etc….measles could kill us with ease. we don’t have the immune system to develop the antibodies anymore. nor the physical resources to fight the disease once we’re infected.
Kelley Bless that’s what I said people that have not had measles or been vaccinated (for whatever reason).
you also said it is not a major concern. that is what i object to. to me and others like me it IS a major concern that these people are being allowed to refuse quarantine. i don’t want to die of a preventable disease because some bastard thinks it’s his right to knowingly expose other people. a friend of mine who is on chemo for breast cancer is right now in voluntary quarantine because she was in dmv that day.
I wonder who is claiming “religious exemption” and which demographic this is affecting primarily?
Truth.
Oh my, what a bunch of drama Queens?
Stop reporting OC when it’s only the cult in Lakewood.
it’s not just the cult anymore. two people at my church were exposed at dmv. they’re voluntarily quarantining until they’re sure. one of them is on chemo. but then they’re not hassid. they don’t view quarantine as religious discrimination……..there’s also now cases in north jersey brought by someone who traveled there from lakewood….who was well aware they’d been exposed but went anyhow.
Kelley Bless yes, Passaic which is another town being taken over. The news doesn’t mention that. As far as the DMV, that was a place listed by the infected (there is no DMV in Lakewood)
Patrick Romano it was in the news… that is how we know…lol
Patrick Romano DMV route 9 in Lakewood
Patrick Romano check the news stories. it was the dmv in TOMS RIVER. the big one on hooper.
i heard last night that somebody walked into the brick costco with an active case of the measles. not sure that’s true, but i really hope not. watch this outbreak bloom like an ugly flower if that story is true.
Patrick Romano so Lakewood isn’t in Ocean County anymore???
Bob Shields the issue is in one town, not the entire county. The media just doesn’t have the guts to narrow it down and is causing a county wide scare because they are afraid to call out the cause.
Patrick Romano wrong, they don’t stay in Lakewood, they travel through Howell, Toms River, Brick and Jackson in droves. It’s not limited to Lakewood by any stretch.
Nancy Cavanaugh WRONG, The issues are only in cult towns in NJ and NY. You know the same cult that does not want to vaccinate. So that’s why the spreading is only among cult members. Dumb ass! The majority of us are vaccinated and not at risk.
Patrick Romano Judaism is now a cult??? Wacko
Bob Shields man you are stupid! Get your head out of your ass and pay attention to what’s going on. While you are at it, look up the definition of “cult”.
Patrick Romano did you really just call me a dumbass? Did you know the vaccine wears off? Did you know that sometimes, although rarely, it doesn’t even work? Check your facts, or don’t check your facts, just keep dropping random insults on the internet to people ?. What do you care anyway. According to you, you’re vaccinated and not of the correct descent to get measles. Dumbass he calls me. Get a life.
Nancy Cavanaugh Dumbass, who else has contracted it besides The hasidics? It was considered eradicated until now. Read a paper
Says the guy with the Joker as his profile pic, we can TOTALLY take that troll as an intelligent source of anything.
Nancy Cavanaugh Stalk people much? Stick to the facts dumbass and answer my question.
Patrick Romano have you heard of notifications? Facebook sends them out when someone responds to you, no stalking necessary. I’m done here.
Nancy Cavanaugh you are done, and you still never answered my question. So stop trying to educate the educated and worry about the lipstick all over your teeth.
Patrick Romano I looked up cult, says nothing about Judaism. Also, do you think you’re Red Forman? What’s with calling everybody dumbass, dumbass
Patrick Romano also. You really have a way with the ladies, huh???
Bob Shields I’m done trying to explain common sense to you. Just stop commenting if you don’t understand it when adults speak.
Bob Shields You are a complete dork, unfunny and apparently have a double digit IQ.
Patrick Romano you’re cool
Dork and dumbass. You’re go to words in the field. You never explained 1 thing to me. Only thing you conveyed is you’re a Jew basher. And that’s cool, ya dreg
Bob Shields most jewish people consider the hassid and haredi to NOT be jews. basically because they pervert the torah and teach their children to hate. learn the difference. please please do not tar the entire jewish people with their brush.
Jodi Zerilli Fletcher Stephanie Marie and theres a picture stephanie of what it looks like
Question is how many had the vaccine and still got it
You wont get that answer.
Steven Smith if they were unvaxxed it would be headlines. So I’m gonna guarantee 95% of them had their vaccines ??♀️
Should not happen these days…?
Lakewood’s finest doing what they do best
Why do they not accept responsibility for the situations that they create. Do what is right not what you want. Doing the right thing is not always the easiest but it should be done. To protect yourself and others…. They do what ever they want, when they want to whom they want and when called out on it they scream anti-semitism … So tired of it all.
Great time to do what you should have inoculate your friggen kids .You want to live here do what we do PROTECT our children to prevent this SHIT Thanks for putting us all at RISK simple shits
They are all of the jewish type, cause they dont believe in vaccinations
Joe Reid I dont trust in our SHOTS but I do it because it’s the friggen law
Well i do, i get my kids vaccinated
Joe Reid Not all jews hold that view!
99% in lakewood do
Ultra Orthodox and Hasidic you must be specific
Mark Phillip then you know what im talking about!
Laura Bryant there is no law saying you need to vaccinate.
Laura Bryant you don’t trust shots but still inject your kids with them hmm? There’s no law stating you have to vaccinate.
wait a minute. rather say hassid and haredi than jewish. the majority of jewish people vaccinate their children and themselves. these are not jews…..it’s a cult. please don’t tar the jewish people with this brush!
Ariana Hankinson Hmmm my kids all grown now .Hate to see what being injected in these kids these days And try put your child in one these school districts here with no vaccination .Then say HMMM because its a school law
Laura Bryant it’s not. There’s a thing called religious exemption lol.
Laura Bryant I don’t vaccinate and I’m good !
Half you people who have so much to say probably aren’t even immunized anymore for measles. When’s the last time y’all were vaccinated for the measles?? It’s on a lifelong immunity if you actually get the measles. Also, measles aren’t going to kill you, people actually use to have measles parties to get it over and done with, just like the chicken pox. So uneducated so many are. Yikes!
Melanie Hulick the point is…. the vaccine prevents it. Why would you want to get measles or your child just because it’s not always deadly? Duh
Katie Kat lol it prevents it? It can actually cause it, that’s a side effect duh!!!!! Anyone who is vaccinated can STILL GET MEASLES!!! Duhhhhhhhh
Melanie Hulick uh no not a side effect and yes it’s possible to get measles if you have been vaccinated and it’s important to get a titer if the vaccine should wear off. Part of what you’re saying is correct.
Melanie Hulick just to add… their are probably more “toxins” (MSG and mercury) in the frozen seapak shrimp you eat. So that’s a crock of shit too.
Katie Kat sea pak? Lmao not sure what you’re even referring to. I buy wild caught? look at the insert, it is a side effect from the shot, wow!
Katie Kat you’re very uneducated I’m sorry. You only go by what you’re told and you see, not what you actually have researched, like me!
Melanie Hulick Then why do all drs. Tell us to vaccinate are they uneducated too?
Those who choose not to vaccinate are the ones who are responsible for the outbreak…. it’s black and white. Hence why the outbreak is in an area where vaccinating is against their religion.
Katie Katlosdibly, but more money hungry. Ask any doctor the amount of time they study vaccines. Please pull up the inserts and learn something. I’m done arguing with an uneducated person as yourself.
You know, I was going to start commenting to try and enlighten and educate Katie Kat, but its worthless. I wouldnt waste your time Melanie Hulick
Unpopular fact: The MMR is a live virus vaccine. Atypical measles is the second listed adverse reaction on the MMR insert. The MMR also sheds for sometime after vaccination and causes outbreaks in fully vaccinated communities. #themoreyouknow
P.S.! If you think that this measles outbreak is because Jewish people in Lakewood don’t vaccinate YOU’RE DEAD ASS WRONG because they DO vaccinate (at least the ones who don’t know any better) . So, you can stop your fear mongering bullshit!
Of course they vaccinate – they are on Medicaid and don’t pay for their health care or vaccines we do…
excuse me. ignorant one is the poster. yes measles can kill those of us with compromised immune systems. easily. we can’t fight diseases off the way a healthy person can. couple years ago i almost died and spent two weeks in hospital for what was originally a common cold. that is unavoidable. people spreading a preventable disease is not….and they are not spreading it just by refusing to vaccinate. they are spreading it more by refusing to quarantine after exposure. the man who brought it in knew he had measles. refused to quarantine. the man who brought it into tr dmv knew he had measles. refused to quarantine. really. take a good look at what’s going on. an accepted medical practice for decades is not anti semitic nor is it religious discrimination…..and tell the woman who was in dmv that day that’s on chemo…who everyone is praying doesn’t get it…..that she won’t die if she does. her doctors think otherwise.
And I wonder how many of those kids weren’t vaccinated!!
Lisa M Gruendel-Reilly how do you even know they were kids?
I wonder how many were
If I am not mistaken it was a kids hospital.. Unless this is a new outbreak.
Lisa M Gruendel-Reilly they were mainly adults ! All start from a Jewish man who went to a different country. I’ve read of 6 different people from these cases who were all 20+ ?. If your vaccines keep you safe don’t worry??♀️
THIS is DESPICABLE.
If we / you are and ur family is vaccinated than chances are u are fine ?. Let that percentage of “anti vaxers” deal w the mess they made … whatever ur reason, religion or autism, u are now at risk .
Michael
It’s the cult in Lakewood!!
yet so many people these days refuse to vaccinate their children. it’s unbelievable to me! now they are all running to get vaccinated. smh
Do you think antivaxxer parents aren’t vaccinating their children because the access to a safe abortion was restricted so now they’re just being passive aggressive about their (and everyone else’s) children living or not?
Kida Yarbray you sound like an idiot. My children were both wanted more than anything, choosing not to vaccinate is a parents right. It’s a religious right. If you’re vaccinated stop worrying
I was being facetious you twat. There are children out there who are too young that are exposed to these viruses due to the adults who have been vaccinated in their lives, you know going outside and living their lives? Or elderly and the ill who cannot withstand being vaccinated due to complications but now have to fear archaic illnesses because of those religious right idiots who if they’re so willing to catch these illnesses die to meet their gods(?), should go about in a more self inflicting way instead infecting those around them who do not have a choice.
Wash your hands often!
airborne. good advice but those of us who are very susceptible are staying home.
Good idea, I unfortunately work in Lakewood 🙁
