Measles doesn't just manifest itself from nothing. I also showed you actual proof that there was no anti-vax theology within the Mennonites which means your claim of "ignorance" as a prime factor could easily be countered with education which you toss aside due to your cynicism you developed from my posts. You want the world to change, but you just don't want the pesky hassle of doing something to make a difference yourself. That's okay. I don't always feel like cooking when I'm hungry either. Oh right, because legal immigrants, tourists (both visiting and returning), or ex-pats have never been disease vectors for measles. Really strong point you've made there, professor. Thanks for reinforcing my point that getting basic facts through thick skulls like yours is almost always a waste of time.

So you are admitting that the border is a contributor. I guess we agree after all.

So you are actually suggesting that in these communities that are hit hard, even the ones where people shun technology to an extent, the origin for the measles is most likely someone that traveled into or out of this country legally? I guess they must be lax on enforcing visas these days since those require a measles vaccine (among others). I know you want desperately for there to be no problems with an open border because that's what the party bosses tell you to promote, but it's absurd to think the origin isn't coming across the borders illegally when we already know how many have entered this way each year for the last several years and that they are very unlikely to have any vaccinations.
March 3, 2025Mar 3 1 minute ago, brkmsn said: the origin for the measles is most likely someone that traveled into or out of this country legally Correct. You said the best way to stop these was "shutting down illegal immigration". And I'm saying the vast majority of measles outbreaks involve US citizens or legal US residents. Establishing "patient zero" for a highly transmissible pathogen like this is never straight forward, but it's almost always someone who traveled internationally legally.

March 10, 2025Mar 10 https://x.com/AP/status/1898111433478381617 Quote West Texas reports nearly 200 measles cases. New Mexico is up to 30 A historic measles outbreak in West Texas is just short of 200 cases, Texas state health officials said Friday, while the number of cases in neighboring New Mexico tripled to 30. Most of the cases across both states are in people younger than 18 and people who are unvaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status. Texas health officials identified 39 new infections of the highly contagious disease, bringing the total count in the West Texas outbreak to 198 people since it began in late January. Twenty-three people have been hospitalized so far. Last week, a school-age child died of measles in Texas, the nation’s first measles death in a decade. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced this week that they were sending a team to Texas to help local public health officials respond to the outbreak. New Mexico health officials had been reporting for weeks a steady number of cases in Lea County — which borders the epicenter of Texas’ outbreak. But on Friday, state health officials provided The Associated Press a week-by-week count that shows cases have steadily increased from 14 cases in the week of Feb. 9 to 30 this week. A spokesman for the health department said more cases are expected and that many of the cases reported Friday weren’t identified until after people’s illnesses had run their course. The department has said it hasn’t been able to prove a clear connection to the Texas outbreak, though on Feb. 14, it said a link is "suspected.”

So either there's more cases who aren't seeking care/not being diagnosed or we just got bad luck so far

This case is not associated with the measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico. Out of an abundance of caution, health officials are coordinating an effort to identify people who might have been exposed, including contacting potentially exposed passengers on specific flights. Anyone who visited the following locations during any of the following hours may have been exposed: Washington Dulles International Airport: Terminal A, on transportation to the main terminal and in the baggage claim area March 5th, 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center Pediatric Emergency Department March 7th, 3:30 pm - 7:30 pm Early symptoms of measles are a fever of more than 101 degrees Fahrenheit, runny nose, cough, and red, watery eyes. Usually, one to four days after the early symptoms, a red rash appears on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Measles symptoms typically develop 10-14 days after exposure to the virus but can develop as soon as seven days and as long as 21 days after exposure. A person with measles is contagious, beginning four days before the rash appears until four days after the rash begins. People are generally considered immune to measles if they have had two measles vaccine shots, previously had measles or laboratory evidence of immunity or infection, or were born in the United States before 1957. Those who are most at risk of complications from measles infection are pregnant women, infants less than one year old, and those who are immune compromised. People in these at risk groups who may have potentially been exposed and are not immune should contact their health care provider or call Howard County Health Department’s Infectious Disease Surveillance and Response Program at 410-313-6284 for additional guidance. Virginia residents with additional questions about their potential exposure can call the Virginia Department Health at (804) 363-2704 or email epi_response@vdh.virginia.gov.

March 12, 2025Mar 12 Absolutely zero people should be shocked by RFK's stance on the measles vaccine. Sadly it's not even his top 5 most ridiculous health takes. Buckle up.
March 12, 2025Mar 12 Apparently, they are going to study this vaccine/autism BS again. Where will they get the funding? We all know there is nothing worse than a child's death. Let alone a preventable one. This monkey has ZERO medical background and he's running a cabinet position. Wonder how many deaths it will take to hold him responsible, as well as the stupid parents! It truly is maddening.
