Members and guests at two Atlantic Beach clubs may have been exposed to mumps there between July 5 and July 24, the Nassau Health Department advised Friday.

Why weren't those foreigners vaccinated before being allowed to come here, go to school and work? My kids had to be current on their shots to go to college.

The clubs involved in hiring these immigrants shoul;d be heavily fined and closed for the rest of the summer. there should be enforcment of laws requiring immunization for all employees.

Mumps?? what is this 1908...

[Dr Stavros]

Those 'foreigners' obviously caught the mumps after they arrived in your disease ridden country.

Not true...every child is mandated to be vaccinated. Those 'students' from your country are not held to the same standards, as well they should be.

it has now been confirmed that none of the 3 irish students even had mumps....in typical american fashion...things were taken ott

also all irish kids get vaccinated twice...thus the reason it was not mumps in the first place

Are you a citizen of Ireland working at that club? If not, mind your own business. No names were mentioned in the article, that I remember. Who do you want a written apology for? You? Not going to happen.

You'll get your apology as soon as you learn how to spell...see, that's the American way.

Being an American woman of Irish descent, may I invite you to shut your gob?

Sounds to me like the Irish Worker is suffering from the Irish Curse aka the "Angry Inch"

if they were 3 mexican or south american workers would newsdump have mentioned where they were from? ofcourse not. and were talking about mumps for gods sake. when my oldest daughter got mumps or chicken pox we let her run around the house as usual and she infected the younger girls and we got it over with. it's not like it was malaria or some other 3rd world disease

"may have been exposed to" and "symptoms consistent with mumps" is hardly blowing out of proportion. sounds like you are the one exaggerating.
