Crazy that’s there’s literally a cure for measles yet there is still a problem
I’m surprised the aren’t more (non-STI) outbreaks at festivals. Zero hygiene, poorly prepared food, lots of sharing, close contact, etc
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me lol
Didn’t know measles had so many fans
Fans of measles?
What an absolute waste of a headliner spot.
If measles medication got you high, then we would be good
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://thefestivals.uk/measles-warning/) reduced by 76%. (I’m a bot)

> Officials have warned that music festivals can be hotspots for measles and anyone who has not had two doses of the MMR vaccine is at risk.
> Dr Mary Ramsay said: "The UK achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017 due to ongoing international measles outbreaks including within Europe, we will continue to see cases, particularly in unimmunised individuals. Measles can be extremely serious, so make sure you and your friends are protected.”
> Officials said last year that music festivals "Pose an ideal opportunity for the infection to spread quickly" and that "Close-mixing environments such as festivals are more at risk" of the disease spreading.
