What, the "three million illegals" that Hillary brought in to run up the vote totals?

Your own link notes the cases are concentrated in north Texas and suggests they migrated from northwest Arkansas.
 
I wonder if Licorice or Astragalus root helps if someone has mumps? Both are anti-viral.
 
After about 15 years, the mumps vaccine wanes in effectiveness, so one needs to update that. Plus Texas has a lot of 'Conservatives' that are fruitloop enough to believe that vaccines are dangerous.

I don't get how you think that "conservative" and "vaccines are dangerous" has any connection.... But yeah, we have a bunch of conspiracy weirdos that are scared of vaccines for some reason.
 
"Mumps cases potentially linked to South Padre Island first came to light this week when another state health department contacted DSHS about a patient with mumps who had traveled to the area for spring break. DSHS alerted other states and, as of April 11, has been notified of 13 mumps cases in people who traveled to South Padre Island between March 8 and March 22 from six states, including two cases from Texas."

I had mumps when I was a kid.

It was miserable with swollen tonsils, but I got to eat ice cream. :)

'Conservative', not conservative. Your standard conservative believes in fiscal sanity and an older order of things. Your 'Conservative' believes in anything, the more unlikely, the better.

Yeah, I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't know any conservatives that believes in the more unlikely the better.... whatever that means.

It wouldn't be a problem if people got their fucking shots.

As it is, I consider Mumps to be God's way of saying "Well, you're too fucking stupid to get a shot, so now you're considered too fucking stupid to have kids.".....or words to that effect.

You really do hate Mexicans, don't you?
 
Well that was to be expected. When you have that many illegals crossing the border they bring disease with them.
 
I don't get the hysteria over mumps. .. :dunno:

When I grew up, every kid I knew eventually came down with mumps, including me and my brother and sister.

It was like a rite of passage.

Now the mumps are treated like some kind of end times plague. .... :cool:
