Huff, June 23 2014 (NaturalNews) The mainstream media is giddily engaging in a mass political orgy over measles after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the disease is allegedly spreading in large part due to foreign travelers and the unvaccinated. But a recent slip by KYW Newsradio 1060 in Philadelphia revealed that 85 percent of reported measles cases are, in fact, occurring in people who already received their vaccinations.
