At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

A bubbling measles outbreak in the upstate of South Carolina has forced 153 unvaccinated children out of the classroom and into quarantine for a minimum of 21 days.

In Minnesota, where a small outbreak has been growing for the last month, 118 students are also under quarantine in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area after being exposed to the highly contagious virus, health officials said Friday.

The restrictions mean three weeks of remote learning as parents monitor for fever, rash and other symptoms.

Now that it's acetaminophen and circumcisions that cause autism, can we please go back to vaccinating people?

    Why are they quarantining? I thought the CDCs stance was that getting Measles now built character and was better than not getting it?

    But if it's god's will for them to die of measles, surely they should be respecting that? /s

    They are not allowed to attend school because they are not vaccinated? Wonderful! More than enough time to gain natural immunity by attending measle parties! /s
