It's just one dead kid, and MAGA has already decided that he must be a migrant.

So, no big deal.

Just sit on your sorry asses, DJT and RFK. No sane man ever thought you would get off of them.

I am reminded that my local MAGA Congressman, Jodey Arington, absolutely refused to encourage his constituents to get vaxxed for COVID .

Well, a lot of them died.

But Jody got re-elected.

MAGA, obviously, is too stupid to live.

Polio Bob acting like Polio Bob.

Measels
Polio
Tuberculosis
Leprosy
Ebola.

Polio Bob has orders to cut spending. He cancelled the task force meeting for an improved COVID vaccine and next years influenza vaccine.

Running government like a business....cutting a dollar of spending today to only have a public health crisis where millions will have to be spent later.

Right wing media sold the low IQ voters that allowing billionaire sociopaths was a great idea and this is the result.

THe US hasn't had a measels death in 22 years until now and it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Good job --------.

"we have measles outbreaks every year."

So why not have more of them, right?

Republican logic.

Kind of like "it's too late to stop climate change (thanks to us) so why not burn more oil?"

Nothing a few years of heroin addiction or dragging an animal corpse through a park can't cure!
