Measles outbreak worsening in Texas

[Oddball]

Ohhh yes it was. Measles, chicken pox, whooping cough and polio were huge killers especially in the cities. The poor living in crowded tenements had many children die.

I had measles, chicken pox and whooping cough. With measles and chicken pox both, I had them in my eyes and had to be in the dark all the time to protect my vision. I had whooping cough so bad the doctor said he could do nothing for me. My grandmother took me on the subway to the beach. We sat there all day wrapped in a blanket hoping the clean salt air would help.

These diseases were killers.

Sure some died. Some die from colds each year. Comparing polio to the rest is a bit on the disingenuous side as they are not even similar.
Want to talk about killers polio, the Black Death, influenza, heart disease and others were way more deadly. Most survived measles and chicken pox.
America has been lucky that we have managed to eradicate most of these diseases and are working on others.

Oddly, this outbreak seems to be focused, primarily on Gaines county texas, by a huge margin. Whatever started this, apparently started there.

150 cases now.

150 cases now.

I guess Biden's invasion wasn't such a great idea, eh?

If they were vaccinated there would be 0 cases.

 

[Concerned American]

If they were vaccinated there would be 0 cases.

If you didn't import the diseases, there would be no need for vaccinations. Or are you too young to remember the dime-sized small pox scars?

That's what you loons tried to sell with the clot shot

I have one.

You must live in mAGA country where no one takes a trip or flies in from another country.

If they were vaccinated there would be 0 cases.

If there were no INFECTED illegal aliens being imported there would be no need for a vaccine that was rendered obsolete in the US decades ago.

Are you comparing the traveling public with the unvetted Biden invasion?

These people are absolutely stupid

You do understand that it is people who because of their religious beliefs are not willing to go to doctors or get vaccines. So first off if we had more control over the border there would be less of a chance for these folks to get this. Second unless you are willing to forgo all the ideals that America was founded on such as religious freedom and the ability for someone to determine their own path and beliefs then exactly what are you proposing?

There are millions of people legally entering and exiting the US every year.

Yes, the initial cases were Mennonites.

Funny how this measles outbreak comes on the heels of Biden's invasion, eh?

Has anyone noticed how the kid who died had not been vaccinated? might there be a connection? I wonder...

 

[westwall]

Yes, the initial cases were Mennonites.

Wrong, the initial cases were illegal aliens who passed it to the mennonites.

He was from a religious group that doesn't do vaccinations.

If an infected illegal alien hadn't passed on the disease the kid would still be alive.

He was from a religious group that doesn't do vaccinations.

They avoid vaccination because of maga cult misinformation, nothing whatsoever to do with their theology.

“Historically and theologically, there has not been any religious teaching against immunization in Mennonite circles,” Nolt said via email. “There’s no religious prohibition, no body of religious writing on it at all. That said, more culturally conservative Mennonite (and Amish) groups have tended to be under-immunized or partially-immunized.”

What to Know About the Mennonites and Measles

The Mennonite population being affected by a measles outbreak in West Texas is part of a larger, loosely affiliated group of churches worldwide with sometimes strained relations with health officials.

If the illegal aliens don't infect you, the 80 million a year foreign visitors to our country will.
