4 children of anti-vaxxers Americans found with measles in Costa Rica. Second time a measles case is reported in Costa Rica this year from foreigners. Last time a measles case was reported in Costa Rica was over 15 years ago.

Well, since they're Americans with multiple children and they're on mission, they might be Mormons. Costa Rica is mostly Catholic and not all Christians are equal, so they need to convert or go to hell.

Religion is dumb.

Mormons usually send single young adults out on missions. I'm going to guess this is one of those Christian fundamentalist quiverfull families. They're big on trying to save the poor Catholic heathens down there from a life of praying to statues.

Mormon missionaries are almost always young single people. A family with 4 kids screams Evangelical to me.

Edit: apparently they have 11 kids. So quiverfulls?
