New Mexico Adult is 2nd Confirmed Measles Death

Friday, March 07, 2025

An unvaccinated adult who did not seek medical care was found dead and is the first measles-related death in New Mexico in more than 40 years. A school-age child died in Texas from measles last week. Measles was considered eliminated in the U.S. in 2000 but is making a comeback. The virus, an airborne respiratory pathogen, is the most contagious in the world and can live outside the body of its human host for up to two hours.

If anyone you know needs reminding of why vaccines are important, take a closer look at what happens if get the measles (which, if you're not vaccinated and you encounter a contagious person, you are almost guaranteed to catch). #SOTU buff.ly/W6zwuKk[image or embed]

Human death by way of disease means nothing to Trump/MAGA.

Two dead are easy to ignore.

Two-thousand dead, just as easy.

If Trump/MAGA starts to fel any heat from this they'll simply turn to some inane, interminable debate about where the measles came from.

Which they are already doing.

We've all seen this rodeo in 2020.

It's fascinating to me that RFK JR, and MAGA now see Cod Liver Oil as the pinnacle of Western medical science.

Jesus, MAGA asks for death and a lot of them will get their wish.

We're renaming measles to American measles. It's not just measles. We don't want it confused with that inferior German measles. AMerican measles, it's coming back, like never before. People said it couldn't be done, but we're doing it. It's a beautiful virus. And we're making better than the world has ever seen. Making American Measles Great Again!
