US Measles Outbreak Linked To Anti-Vaccine Parents

Apparently in the United States there has been a small outbreak of the measles.  According the the CDC Measles Update page

Of the 64 people infected by the measles virus, only 1 had documentation of prior vaccination. Among the other 63 case-patients were 14 infants who were too young to be vaccinated. Many of the cases among US children occurred in children whose parents claimed exemption from vaccination due to religious or personal beliefs, or in children too young to be vaccinated. Disease transmission occurred in a variety of community and healthcare settings, including homes, childcare centers, schools, hospitals, emergency rooms, and doctors’ offices.

I have bold-faced the important part of the above paragraph.  It seems very likely that 14 innocent children are suffering because a parent does not want their children to get a vaccination.  My question is were any of these parents following the recommendations of the ‘Vaccines Cause Autism Camp?’  This camp could very well be costing lives now on the basis of a theory that has been disproven time and time again.
