Trump officials sowed fear and confusion at the CDC amid the biggest measles outbreak in 30 years, a new investigation shows. "The CDC was gagged," @apha.org's Georges Benjamin said. kffhealthnews.org/news/article ...

Measles was all but eliminated from the US a couple decades ago.

What has happened?

#1 Illegal immigration happened. 20 million un-vetted diseased third worlders.

"Illegal immigration happened."

On Trump's watch?
If you say so.

#4 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-10-04 09:13 PM

@#2 ... #1 Illegal immigration happened. 20 million un-vetted diseased third worlders. ...

If that were even the case, then I would have to ask, why didn't the vaccination protection in the US reduce the occurrence and severity of the current measles cases here in the US?

Asked differently, what else yer got besides a lame deflection attempt?

It wouldn't be back if people vaccinate themselves from it. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

In these cases, ignorance seems to be measles.

Says the guy who wants to destroy Western civilization because it's a racist patriarchy. Really, comrade? I think not.

Measles has been spreading from the Southern border up.

@#8 ... Measles has been spreading from the Southern border up. ...

If that is the case, why is measles even spreading into the general population?

If the general population were properly vaccinated, would it spread among them?

Which goes back to my #7 comment ...

#9 We conquered measles. It came into America from overseas, when the borders where opened. That's not coincidence.

Look, H.P. Lovecraft was right: not only are mid-westerners devolving, but foreigners bring disease. And he was the Prophet of the Aeon.

@#10 ... We conquered measles. It came into America from overseas, when the borders where opened. That's not coincidence. ...

The coincidence in this is the lower vaccination rates of Americans.

If Americans were vaccinated, would this be something we are discussing?

My answer is, no.

But there has been an anti-vax movement in the United States that has caused an unwarranted susceptibility to measles.

Whether the cause of an outbreak is from our southern border, from someone returing from a trip to Europe or wherever.

The results are the same.

Lampy, we didn't need to vaccinate against measles anymore. That's why vax rates dropped.

Then what happened? Unwashed hordes, 20 million of them. All we have to do to keep measles out of our country is to check every immigrant. The "measles epidermic" is going to go away now that the border is under control.

Maintaining vaccinations is probably easier.

@#13 ... Lampy, we didn't need to vaccinate against measles anymore. That's why vax rates dropped. ...

Yet you seem to contradict that in the very next paragraph ...

... Then what happened? Unwashed hordes, 20 million of them. All we have to do to keep measles out of our country is to check every immigrant. ...

What about the US citizens returning from other countries, as I noted in @12.

... The "measles epidermic" is going to go away now that the border is under control. ...

While I hope that may be the case, I also note (and have cited) that there are other sources of measles beside the southern border.

So, maybe take a more medical, and less political, approach to the problem.

" Then what happened? Unwashed hordes, 20 million of them"

Is this where we pretend measles dormancy lasts for decades? Years? Months?

Why does every theory of yours rely on raging ignorance?

Mexico is reporting significant measles cases in the first half of 2025, including 421 cases and one death as of April 2025.

Measles in rural Guatemala1. The incidence and behavior of measles was determined by continuous prospective field study of whole populations in 3 villages during 4 years. Deaths numbered 153 per 100,000 population per year.

See the coincidence?

Today's lesson is that brown people are unwashed, unvaccinated, and here. And we should have stopped measles at the border.

Sorry to burst your bubble of gullible, bigoted stupidity, but what actually happened was fat stupid Americans thought they knew better despite being barely scientifically literate to a high school level.

Much like you demonstrate here on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, back in reality, the measles outbreaks didn't start until months after Trump secured the border.

Measles has been spreading from Gaines County, Texas on up.

But since you're insistent on spreading your racist propaganda:
Let's say an illegal child does have measles.
Should that child receive treatment?

We quit vacationing for smallpox when it was considered eradicated from the world, not just the USA. Should be the same principle for measles, polio etc. Polio was very close to being considered eradicated worldwide but there have been recent surges.
