You mean the immigrants who didn't have to prove their vax status when entering the country?

Nobody has to prove their vaccination status when entering the country since the COVID pandemic ended, and then, it was only COVID.
Measles in 2026 isn't because of people who entered the country illegally in 2021-2025.
The incubation period... isn't 1-5 years.

You probably already know that's true.
You're just so committed to racism that blaming immigrants is more important to you than telling the truth.
Just like your dreamboy J.D. Vance and his eyeliner.

Literally the same thing Hitler said.
You must feel so proud, to say those things out loud.

What a f*&^ing moron.

The measles vaccine is one of the most effective vaccines we've ever implemented.

These outbreaks wouldn't be happening if we had vaxx rates at the same place they were in the 2000's.

No matter how hard your stupid, bigoted, ignorant turd a&& tries, this falls on stupid, lazy, complacent Americans thinking they have a clue when they have not even the slightest prerequisite knowledge to make these kinds of decisions.

Yourself included.
