I didn't realize this University was being dangerously uncooperative regarding measles. That's really sad.

I put out a thread on Bluesky this weekend regarding a very anti-vaccine pediatrician (Dr. Thornburg) who's been in practice in Naples, Florida since 2006 which is only about 28 mi from Ave Maria University. I'm certain Dr. Thornburg is to blame for many of these measles cases. It's just like anti-vaccine pediatrician Dr. Bob Sears driving down vaccine rates in Southern California leading to the Disneyland measel outbreak in 2015. I have no tolerance for anti-vaccine pediatricians. They should be stripped of their board certification. They should lose their license. And if the AAP actually had a spine, the AAP would publicly denounce them and kick them out of the AAP if they are members. Here is the link to the Bluesky thread: https://bsky.app/profile/cphickie.bsky.social/post/3mhnthdyy722r

In the same class as Bob Sears, Jay Gordon, Paul Thomas and Larry Palevsky (who was involved in the 2019 New York measles outbreaks.
