FTA:

"Ladapo became a vocal cheerleader of the governor's anti-mask, vaccine and lockdown decrees; and was a prominent member of Frontline Doctors of America, a fringe cluster of radical physicians that pushed ineffective medicines such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as a cure for the virus.

"The group's founder, Simone Gold, received a 60-day prison sentence in 2022 for taking part in the 6 January Capitol riot."

Never thought I'd see the day in America where a state government helps citizens to get sick or die.

This is a fantastic example of disinformation allowed to be spread because people don't critically think. Notice that there are no numbers in this article, only percentages? That's because outbreaks of measles have occurred in many states, and the number of infections in Florida today are in the 2 digits.

So, while this could be a precursor to an actual problem, today it is not a problem at all...at least it's not a problem to the country (it's definitely a problem for some who get it, of course). Don't let biased reporting form your conclusions. Get your information from multiple sources, and make sure there are right and left leaning sources. Accepting what one biased source tells you means you are the problem.

7. A look at this chart at your CDC link shows certain trouble for the last few months.

Number of measles cases reported by week
2023-2024* (as of February 29, 2024)

Other charts show that, except for 2023, the US has had an upward trend of the measles over the last 5 years, coterminous with the anti-vax movement, oddly enough.

You sound just like Trump!

"And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done...We're going very substantially down, not up."
