Today is one of the largest spectator events in the US–Super Bowl XLIX at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Az, and one of the safety concerns is measles.

The current measles outbreak in the country has topped 100 cases in several states, with more than half epidemiologically linked to Southern California Disney theme parks.

Arizona, the host of the Super Bowl, has confirmed seven measles cases; however, Arizona health officials say they’ve identified 1,000 contacts of the measles patients.

In an NBC report Friday, correspondent Hallie Jackson reported that one health official from Maricopa County said he is not concerned about measles spreading since the number of cases is so low. Jackson goes on to report that it is more likely you’d contract the flu than measles.

5. About 3 min. into this video-Dean say we ought to go back

to the policy of if kids not vaccinated then should stay home from school. I do not hear him say anything about himself. Can we clarify the OP please? Thanks.

2. umm. Where does it say Dean is not getting

vaccinated?? I am confused. Besides, I would assume (perhaps wrong) that he had measles as a child and does not need it.

6. He doesn't.

He's saying that NOT getting vaccinated is nut job medicine. He has a pro-vax stance. The headline is written badly.

8. Thank you. I thought so. Yes, the op is poorly written.

3. Is the "health official" from Maricopa County an anti-science guy, like the ones now made famous by

a mother round of media hair on fire false equivalency? Seems they are lurking in secret all over.

Because then he is lying and millions will be at risk of measles if even a handful contract it at the
Superbowel, celebrate recklessly and then fly to all points of the nation in airplanes.

Measlebola is no laughing it matter, it is as contagious as Ebola was made out to be.

Measelbola is Ebola on steroids for ease of being an epidemic very quickly.

4. "at the Superbowel"
