Measles Outbreak in Memphis Began at Mosque

The first reported case of a person with measles in the recent Memphis outbreak, which now numbers seven confirmed cases, was at a local mosque on April 15, according to the Shelby County Health Department.

“The first public place where there was a public exposure potentially [to measles] was the Masjid Al-Noor Mosque on April 15,” Dr. Alisa Haushalter, Director of the Shelby County Health Department, tells Breitbart News.

“The mosque is one location we know that individuals who were infectious were during their infectious period, but that’s not necessarily where the first case occurred. I don’t want you to draw conclusions without sufficient information,” she added.

Haushalter acknowledged, however, that the measles outbreak could have originated with an un-vaccinated-for-measles adult or child brought to Tennessee under the federal refugee resettlement program, something she called “a possibility amongst many.”

A ."...possibility amongst many."
Like how many?
Two?
They could witness a muslim pour out a vial of smallpox into a reservoir and would immediately release a press statement saying we aren't 100% sure it was smallpox and lets not jump to conclusions that he was trying to harm anyone. And counsel us against bigotry and racism.
Then remind us that islam is a religion of peace.
Political BS and "correctness" is going to get us killed.
With martyrdom a classic goal of islam, does anyone think they have someone willing to take a dose of a deadly virus and spend the day taking the subway around the city?
Had to have a test run first, though.
Keep cheering.

Damn shame this outbreak of Measles didn't work on the Muslims like it did when we gave Measles infected blankets to the Indians.

Another disease that had pretty well been eradicated in the old America. Hussien obama is importing terrorism, poverty and disease into the new "fundamentally transformed" America. We are quickly becoming a third world country thanks to our muslim in chief and his congressional enablers.
