[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2807797, member: 12952"] [URL="http://www.wnd.com/2017/04/measles-outbreak-among-somali-refugees-stretches-minneapolis-health-system/"]Quran blamed in new U.S. disease outbreak[/URL] According to reports from the [URL='http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/diseases/measles/index.html#Example1']health commissioner’s office[/URL], there are now 30 cases of children in Hennepin County who have been diagnosed with measles, and 28 of them are Somali children who have not been vaccinated. All of the cases involve children 5 years of age and younger. Dr. Andrew Bostom, M.D., an academic internist specializing in general internal medicine who has also authored several books about the history of Islam, said Muslim communities often prove difficult to convince that vaccinations are appropriate for their children. “The case against vaccinations is first an Islamic one,” he said, citing a 2011 article by Dr. Majid Katme, spokesman for the Islamic Medical Association in the United Kingdom. “We are giving our innocent children haram [forbidden] substances and harmful chemicals that destroy their natural immune systems, causing disease, suffering and death,” Dr. Katme wrote. Health officials stress vaccination against measles “because there is no medicine” that can cure it. Hospitals try to stabilize patients by giving them intravenous fluids to counter dehydration. They are quarantined in special hospital rooms that prevent the virus from infecting others in the hospital. [/QUOTE]
