Measles now up to 900 cases in 10 states. Why hasnt trump stopped it ?

Trump and RFK both have spread fear about vaccines for years. Implied they cause autism in kids and all kinds of ridiculous stuff. When you’re in leadership you take responsibility for stuff like that. It does have an effect
No they both haven’t. Trump actually got Covid vaccines created in warp speed

Regardless though. They didn’t allow a surge of unvaccinated and untested illegals to bring it across the border
 
"As of August 5, 2025, there have been a total of 1,356 confirmed measles cases reported in the USA, with 32 outbreaks occurring this year 1. The data does not specify how many of these cases involve immigrants specifically 1. Additionally, there is no evidence linking the measles outbreaks to an influx of immigrants 2."
 
Thank RFK Jr for spreading misinformation that vaccines are dangerous
Not all vaccines... and give me a break... Biden could've made vaccinations a condition to for entering the country and tested people for covid... doctors are estimating the infection rate of covid was extended two years due to the border being open in America... RFK Jr didn't do that....
 
Covid vaccine is very safe.

None of the attacks against it have been validated by the accepted world and US infectious disease organizations.

Oh good and how do you all feel about the the shot?! Saved millions or messed people up?

I get that you want to stick to you talking point but tourism and immigration have been going on for decades. Measles didn’t become an issue until the anti vax crowd Trump / RFK / conspiracy nuts got involved
 
The covid vax saved millions.

Trump's mismanagement led to an average of 33,000 dead a month.

Biden's superior handling cut that to 13,000 a month. And it was as low as 4,000 a month in the second half of 2024.

Now herd immunity and continuing vax and boosters

Except for one thing. The measels vaccine is typically given to infants while the outbreak is effecting school aged children. That would mean they should have been vaccinated years ago, well before the current TRUMP! admin.

Yes, they have, when people come here legally, like on tourist visas, there is screening done to ensure folks aren't sick. Unlike when they surge the border illegally.

Not sure if you got the memo but Trump was president of the USA in 2016-2020. His movement of conspiracy nuts has been snowballing since then.

Don’t ever remember my temperature being taken when I traveled the world or when I came back… does that happen to you?

I can't speak to how other countries do things, but in the United States to get a tourist visa there certainly is a screening process, an actual interview.

Background​

Under the immigration laws of the United States, an alien who applies for an immigrant visa abroad, or who seeks to adjust status to that of a lawful permanent resident while in the United States, is required to receive vaccinations to prevent the following diseases:

  • Mumps;
  • Measles;
  • Rubella;
  • Polio;
  • Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids;
  • Pertussis;
  • Haemophilus influenzae type B;
  • Hepatitis B; and
  • Any other vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP).

There is no screening process when you come here ilegally.

And exactly what steps did he take back then that stopped people from getting their kids vaccinated against measles?

He fueled conspiracies about vaccines giving kids autism

“People that work for me, just the other day, two years old, beautiful child went to have the vaccine and came back and a week later, got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic.”

— Donald J. Trump, Sept. 2015.

And you believe that caused enough parents to refuse to vaccinate their kids that we now see an outbreak of measles? A comment about something he observed?

I think it contributes to the narrative that validates parents fears and causes them to not vaccinate their kids. Of course. When our leaders carelessly pitch conspiracy theories to stoke hate and fear so they can earn political points it’s going to have an effect. Our POTUS and his assigned leader of HHS have both stoked fear around vaccines for decades

1. You say decades. Can you find anything from TRUMP! about vaccines from decades ago?
2. You say the leader of HHS. How long has he been associated with TRUMP! that he would have any kind of authority to scare parents?

The vaccine/autism narrative has been around since the 90s. Here is an article from 2017 about Trump and Kennedy and their part in fueling that fire. There was a measles outbreak in 2015 that should have lead to better promotion of medical information about vaccines, not the shit Trump and RFK fueled.

Of course the did cause the outbreaks, but they are part of the problem and have the top positions in the world to communicate to the public about it.
