... An NBC News investigation, done in collaboration with Stanford University, has found that much of the United States doesn't have the vaccine protection to prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases such as measles.

About 79% of kindergartners in Washington County, Utah, are vaccinated against measles, according to NBC News data. That's only slightly higher than rates in Gaines County, Texas, the epicenter of the 2025 outbreak earlier this year -- and well below the 95% level of herd immunity experts say is needed to protect against an outbreak. ...

RFK Jr. was paid six figures by his vaccine-challenging group before presidential run (December 2024)

... Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made over $20,000 per week as chairman of Children's Health Defense before stepping away from the nonprofit in 2023 to run for president, new tax filings show.

In April 2023, Kennedy announced his presidential run and left his post as chairman and chief legal counsel of the organization he founded in 2007. Though he only spent three and a half months at Children's Health Defense last year, he walked away with $326,056 -- more than doubling his pay rate for a shorter tenure.

It is not clear exactly when Kennedy stopped receiving a salary from the organization. STAT reached out for comment. ...

Biden... let in an estimated 10-20 million unvetted, UNVAXED, criminal illegal immigrants

That estimate is for the all-time high. They didn't all come through during Biden. Millions came through during Republican administrations. It didn't suddenly start happening overnight just five years ago, you know!

And it has nothing to do with this *current* measles outbreak. Is Biden President right now?

So you'd rather blame Biden then simply get a measles vax. You're a --- idiot.

Both could be true.

That estimate is for the all-time high.

No, thats just under Biden, that number has been around as "alltime" since Ihave been in the US, but its just BS. Current estimates are in the 40Million range.

They didn't all come through during Biden.

Pretty close to that number came through during Biden.

Millions came through during Republican administrations.

True, but most every President tried to stop it, Biden as stated by Myorkas it was just a processing problem.

It didn't suddenly start happening overnight just five years ago, you know!

Yea it kind a did.

Current estimates are in the 40Million range.

Source? If you Google "how many illegal immigrants in the us" you get 11 - 14 million according to reputable sources. If you Google "number of times Trump has lied", you get the 40 million number about 10,000 spots down the list.
