Some Amish dude brought measles back w him from a missionary trip, infecting nearly 400 people in a teeny Ohio town in one month last year.

The fact that we haven't even heard about the Amish patient zero for measles guy speaks volumes about who gets to be human in the U.S.

Remember when all those little children were coming to the U.S. from Central America last year? People were like "They'll bring viruses!"
-
The fact of the matter is that those Central American kids were way more vaccinated than a lot of white kids from Marin County.
-
Those migrant children were blamed for something they didn't even do. Meanwhile, the white guy from Ohio that did bring measles? *crickets*

People like Pennsylvania's
@GovernorCorbett even tried to blame migrant children for the measles they didn't bring: http://migrationnotebook.tumblr.com/post/92434542058/pa-governor-tom-corbetts-full-comments-to-kdkas … -
I don't think we should be shaming the Amish guy, either. People have valid reasons for not trusting the government and vaccines...
-
I'm just making a point about how the nearly 400 white people that first got measles in Ohio got to keep their privacy and their dignity.
-
Remember how black Africans were demonized just recently over Ebola? Yeah. It's not been the same for white Amish people and measles.
