Mumps Outbreak in Pennsylvania

There is an outbreak of the mumps in Pennsylvania, in addition to other American States, and in addition to the widespread measles outbreak across the Union. The outbreak is in the Lehigh Valley.

Anti-vaccination conspiracy theories from the far left to the far right, backed by disinformation from the regime of Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin, as well as anti-government-mandated vaccination libertarian beliefs, have led to a decrease in vaccinations and, therefore, in immunity, from these and other contagious diseases that had become rare on United States soil.
