Google staffer in Silicon Valley campus diagnosed with measles, company cautions employees: Report

Tech giant Google warned it’s employees last week that an in-house case of measles has been discovered at the company’s Silicon Valley campus.

"We have been working with the Santa Clara County Public Health Department and they would like us to share this measles advisory, which contains information on measles, exposure risks and actions to be taken," he added. Google has faced backlash in recent months for promoting anti-vaccine content on its video streaming platform, YouTube. Since February, after reports began calling YouTube out for allowing algorithms that perpetuate anti-vax clips, Google has faced immense pressure to ban or remove the content, which public health experts have blamed for the resurgence of the dangerous virus.

The highly-contagious infectious disease, which the U.S. contained in 2000, has resurfaced this year, with over 500 known cases currently ongoing across 20 states. On Tuesday, Santa Clara County health officials confirmed that four people in the area have been diagnosed with the disease. Other alarming measles outbreak stories have also been surfacing in other parts of the country. In a March statement, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health revealed that a traveler carrying measles had passed through Los Angeles International Airport on February 21.

I wonder what would happen if we brought in hundreds of thousands of people from Central America that have never had any vaccinations?

Now my phone will get measles 😱 Just kidding, measles is no laughing matter. Get the vaccine. Save lives.
