NSW has caught a throwback illness and no, it’s not nostalgia for Y2K—it’s measles. The disease we literally vaccinated out of existence has made a comeback thanks to Facebook science degrees and vibes-based parenting. Congratulations, we’ve officially looped back to the 1800s with Wi-Fi. Health officials have confirmed a cluster of cases in western Sydney, all linked to—shock horror—unvaccinated individuals.

That’s right, Karen skipped the jab because “essential oils and good energy” and now entire schools are being notified like it’s the lottery you don’t want to win. Here’s the roll call of dumb: anti-vaxxers still peddling “personal choice” while completely ignoring the part where their choice exposes newborns, the elderly, and people with actual medical exemptions.

Meanwhile, overworked doctors are reprinting fact sheets they thought they’d buried with SARS. The truth is brutal: this outbreak was entirely preventable. Measles is one of the most contagious viruses on Earth, and it doesn’t care if your Facebook group says you’re immune through juicing. NSW Health is now chasing down contacts and urging jabs, while Reddit’s tinfoil army calls it “fear-mongering.” Latest update?

Three new cases confirmed overnight. Expect more unless someone figures out how to vaccinate people against Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
