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.

Yes, there are plenty of liberal (as well as conservative) anti-vaxxers. But immigrant-blaming is mostly right-wing.
