California police say an anti-vaccine supporter has been cited for assault after he filmed himself in a physical altercation with a Democratic state legislator who authored a bill to restrict vaccine exemptions as the measles outbreak rages.

The lawmaker assaulted has previously said anti-vaccine activists, "threaten me all the time," but said he was "fortunate. We do have security in the Capitol."

BREAKING: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sounded the alarm that recent measles outbreaks have put the 2000 declaration of the disease having been eliminated at risk. "It certainly is incredibly frustrating and upsetting to the public health community that we may lose measles elimination status, because we do have a safe and effective vaccine."

A group of anti-vaccine activists temporarily shut down the California state Senate on Friday after the protesters dumped red liquid — which authorities are working to determine if it was blood — onto lawmakers from the chamber’s gallery.

"That’s for the dead babies,” the protester shouted when she dumped the liquid from the balcony overlooking the Senate floor.

A new law in Germany will require parents to vaccinate their children against measles or face fines of several thousand euros. There have been 501 cases of measles there this year, despite the existence of vaccines that are proven to be safe and effective.
