As measles keeps popping up in some pockets of the United States, the possibility of being exposed to the highly contagious virus continues. At least 1,596 measles cases have been confirmed in 2025, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but it's unclear how many people have been asked to quarantine.

"There are lots of people who lack education but who have great natural intelligence and a desire to learn, including most of the people I grew up with. Stupid is different. To win a degree in stupid, you have to willfully reject facts in favor of superstitions, myths, fears and conspiracy theories. And then get all your news from fake or biased news sites targeted at the stupid."

The Trumpf junta, the oligarchs, private equity fund owners, and the Republican Party elites profit from our illnesses since we have costly for-profit privatized healthcare, unlike Germany, Israel, Canada, the UK, Sweden, Denmark, or France: drudge.com
