Of the 111 outbreak cases, 105 were unvaccinated, three were partially vaccinated, two had an unknown status, and one case was fully vaccinated.

I would not be surprised if the only vaccinated person caught it at the hospital while on immunosuppressant for some surgery or something.

If only unvaccinated kids die from this, they will remove access to the vaccines. Their wet dream of natural herd immunity only works without vaccines.
