CDC Keeping Close Watch on Measles Outbreak in 21 US States

 

On Tuesday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that 107 people from 21 states have contracted measles this year between January 1 and July 14.

 

The states affected by the infectious disease caused by the measles virus include Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

 

According to the CDC, there were 118 cases of measles in 15 states in 2017 and 86 cases in 19 states the year before that. The number of cases in 2018 is likely to exceed the number of cases reported in 2016 and 2017.

 

In Illinois, only four cases of measles have been reported, which is normal according to the state's Department of Public Health, ABC 7 reported Wednesday.

 

The last US measles outbreak was in 2015, when 188 people in 24 states and Washington, DC, contracted the disease. The last outbreak likely occurred after a traveler, who allegedly contracted measles overseas, visited an amusement park in California. CDC scientists showed that the virus type in the 2015 outbreak (B3) was identical to the virus that caused a 2014 measles outbreak in the Philippines. The CDC defines an outbreak as "the occurence of more cases of disease than expected in a given area or among a specific group of people over a particular period of time."

 

Measles, which can develop into pneumonia and cause brain swelling resulting in death, can be prevented with the MMR vaccine.

 

According to the CDC, the vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella.

 

"CDC recommends children get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at four through six years of age. Teens and adults should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination."

 

"Before the measles vaccination program started in 1963, an estimated 3 to 4 million people got measles each year in the US," the CDC said.

 

"Since then, widespread use of measles vaccine has led to a greater than 99 percent reduction in measles cases compared with the pre-vaccine era," the CDC added.

Russian Embassy Slams UK Media for Alleging Military Build-Up in Arctic

 

LONDON (Sputnik) - Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom criticized UK media on Wednesday for promoting the idea of countering the alleged threat from Russia in the Arctic via โ€‹โ€‹a military build-up in the region.

 

"These speculations are yet another attempt to promote the idea of military build-up in the Arctic under imaginary pretexts. They run counter to the existing international legal framework and completely undermine huge efforts undertaken in the Arctic Council, where the UK is an observer state," the embassy's spokesperson said in a statement.

 

Earlier in the day, some UK media published excerpts of the report "On thin ice: UK defence in the Arctic" prepared by the Defence Sub-Committee of the House of Commons. Conclusions of the press report were reduced to the presence of "a serious threat to Britain from Russia on the Arctic flank" and the need to increase the capabilities of the UK army and increase defense spending.

 

Moscow considers the Arctic to be an area for constructive dialogue and equal, conflict-free cooperation in the interests of all the states, he noted.

 

"We hope the British media notices the impressive prospects for trade, economic and infrastructural cooperation in the Arctic and stops echoing those who canโ€™t wait to engage in saber-rattling in this part of the globe," the spokesperson concluded.

 

Earlier, London repeatedly expressed concern over Russia's alleged increasing military presence and activities in the Arctic region, and expressed fears that navigation in the Arctic could be limited.

 

UK government officials have repeatedly stated that they were ready to raise the level of defense spending using the "Russian threat" narrative to support such an increase.

WATCH: Bernie Bashes America; Has No Time To Answer How To Pay For Socialism

 

Socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders trashed America on Wednesday while downplaying the debate between the ideas behind socialism and capitalism.

 

Appearing on "CBS This Morning," Sanders told co-host John Dickerson that he was not concerned that millennials are unable to name someone whom they think is the leader of the Democratic party.

 

"Democratic socialism is appealing to some of them, who also might be interested in the Democratic Party," Dickerson said. "The idea of socialism versus capitalism, does that conversation need to be more in the present, in the forefront?"

 

"I think media makes a bigger deal of it than it should. Look at the issues," Sanders replied. "Should every American have health care as a right at a time when we spend twice as much per capita on health care as any other country, have the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs and 30 million people have no health insurance? That is a disastrous system. Of course, we need to move to Medicare for all."

 

Sanders continued by bashing America, claiming that there is something morally wrong with the country.

 

"But I will also say this, John, I think that there is growing resentment, not only among young people who in many cases are going to have a lower standard of living than their parents, I think that there is an understanding or something fundamentally immoral and wrong about a nation in which we have three people who own more wealth than the bottom half of the American people," Sanders continued. "That does not make sense."

 

At the very end of the segment, co-host Bianna Golodryga quickly interjected that many Americans want to know how Sanders plans to pay for all of his ideas but then ended the segment, saying, "We've run out of time, Senator."

Ex-union boss at Rikers Island jail convicted of corruption

 

 

NEW YORK โ€“ A former union boss who was once thought of as the king of New York City's jails may be headed to federal prison.

 

A jury in Manhattan on Wednesday convicted Norman Seabrook, the former head of the union representing guards at the troubled Rikers Island jail complex, of honest services wire fraud and conspiracy.

 

Seabrook maintains he is innocent of charges he accepted $60,000 in bribes in exchange for investing millions of dollars in union pension money in a risky hedge fund.

 

For two decades, Seabrook was head of the New York City Correction Officers' Benevolent Association and was a powerful figure in political circles. Some wardens said his control over the jail rivaled their own.

 

Seabrook was convicted partly on the testimony of the man who persuaded him to invest in the hedge fund run by Platinum Partners. That witness, Jona Rechnitz, who was also a lavish political donor to Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio, told jurors he talked Seabrook into the investment on a free trip to the Dominican Republic, then later handed off $60,000 in a designer bag.

 

Defense attorney Paul Shechtman told jurors that Rechnitz was a world-class liar.

 

"If they had a Nobel Prize in manipulation, Jona Rechnitz would be a recipient," Shechtman said. "You can fault Norman Seabrook for falling for Jona Rechnitz's act."

 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Martin Bell insisted there were "multiple independent sources," including phone and bank records, to corroborate Rechnitz's story.

 

Seabrook, 58, was charged in 2016. His first trial ended with a deadlocked jury, and prosecutors put him on trial again. Jury deliberations in his retrial began Tuesday.

 

Jurors initially delivered a split verdict Wednesday, convicting Seabrook of honest services fraud but telling the judge they were deadlocked on the conspiracy charge. But after further deliberations, they came back with a guilty verdict on the conspiracy count later Wednesday.

 

Rikers has long been seen as troubled by violence among inmates, excessive force by guards and avoidable prisoner deaths. A Department of Justice investigation found in 2014 that there was a pattern of excessive force and violence that violated the rights of adolescent prisoners. City officials are closing the jail and replacing it with smaller institutions they hope will be more humane.

The Latest: Former DA named by grand jury fired from job

 

HARRISBURG, Pa. โ€“ The Latest on a grand jury report on clergy abuse in six Pennsylvania Roman Catholic dioceses (all times local):

 

5 p.m.

 

A former Pennsylvania prosecutor has been fired from his job as an attorney for a county youth services office after a report showed that as prosecutor, he stopped an investigation into alleged child abuse by a priest to gain political favor from the Pittsburgh Diocese.

 

Former Beaver County District Attorney Robert Masters told a grand jury investigating clergy abuse that he wrote a letter to the then-bishop of Pittsburgh in 1964 saying he was halting an investigation to "prevent unfavorable publicity."

 

He was let go Wednesday.

 

A report released Tuesday by the grand jury found that hundreds of priests had sexually abused more than 1,000 children in six of Pennsylvania's dioceses over the past seven decades.

 

Since the report was made public, the attorney general says his office has received over 150 calls and emails from people wanting to "tell their stories and seek justice."

 

___

 

3:45 p.m.

 

A top clergyman faulted in a Pennsylvania grand jury report over his handling of sexually abusive priests is asking parishioners not to lose confidence in the church.

 

Cardinal Donald Wuerl, one of the highest-profile Roman Catholic cardinals in the United States, spoke Wednesday during Mass at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington D.C. on the religious feast of the Assumption of Mary.

 

He said Catholics need to help victims and he asked for Mary's intervention for those whose confidence is shaken because of the "terrible plague" of abuse.

 

The report says Wuerl, as Pittsburgh's bishop, approved transfers for priests who sexually abused children instead of removing and concealed information when priests were reported to law enforcement.

 

Wuerl made no mention of the allegations, but has previously said he acted diligently to protect children.
