March for Life Becomes Measles Superspreader Event
DC Health has confirmed multiple measles cases, with contagious individuals visiting several public locations, including Ronald Reagan National Airport, Union Station, Catholic University of America, and the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Individuals who were at these sites may have been exposed to the virus. This announcement comes as a large conservative religious gathering, attended by prominent politicians, is underway, an event where opposition to vaccination is noted, potentially increasing the risk of spread. Current measles outbreaks are also significant in South Carolina and Texas.
