1) He denies that it's happening

2) But if it is happening it's Biden's fault.

3) He's got better things to do than dealing with a plague.

4) Face it, it's the Golden Age of Measles, just like 2020 was the Golden Age of COVID.

5) Come on, Avian Fly, go for the gold. There's nothing to stop you.

Yet another clever way to own them Libs! And if someone's child dies, the family gets a GoFundMe page with $45 pledged...

Disease is held at bay using human intelligence.

The stupider we get, the more disease we'll experience.

Our stupid policy of climate change means a whole ton of tropical diseases and vermin will move north. Our stupid russian puppet president politicizing vaccines means all sorts of preventable diseases will make a comeback. Thank your local republicans.

Can you imagine how MAGA and antivaccers would respond to this, the typical reaction to the smallpox vaccine.

It's to the point where I will have my antibodies tested to ensure I have protection.

My last employer did, in 2000, so should be OK.

Oh for F's sake, 2020, not 2000.

thank you Biden for allowing this to come over the border

funny how during Covid 19 Biden was almost demanding everyone get a vaccine......and some Fed employees lost their jobs because they wouldn't, but illegal immigrants could just come on over without being tested or required to get the vaccine

The largest of the outbreaks is in West Texas, where the total number of people diagnosed with measles grew to 146 on Friday. An unvaccinated child in the region died last week.

White House staff refers to the young girl who died as little Herman Cain.

You don't know where it came from.

In any case, a vaccinated American public would have neutered it.

This measles epidemic is a MAGA thing.

Your fault.

Paste-eaters like maverick allowed the outbreaks to spread.

Get your COVID-19 boosters folks. I received mine today. It's easy peasy.

No it isn't. Rich liberals have been anti vax for a long time. The measles vax has been around for a long time.

You constantly just make shht up.

Patricide Jeff is the degenerate who said ivermectin is a game changer.

Speaking of paste eaters, our most excellent and exalted grand poobah Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy, Jr is has this outbreaks new Ivermectin routine:
Vitamin A, budesonide (steroid), clarithromycin (antibiotic) and cod liver oil.*

*Vitamin A and cod liver oil do nothing unless you are malnourished. Then yeah, things like that help. Duh.
Antibiotics do nothing, just like they did nothing for COVID - because antibiotics don't have any affect on viruses. Duh
Steroids can help manage symptoms, bring down lung inflammation, and make breathing easier. It doesn't shorten the infection.

RFJ jr. went out a limb and said "immunization is a personal choice" but it does protect children and helps the community. That's about as much as could be hoped for in this admin, I guess. More than I thought he'd say.

Hard to believe he's better than Ladapo in Florida who advocates parents send unvaccinated children to school in the name of "parent's rights." Fcck all the other parents and their kids.

Yay for America. Yay.
