Maybe if Biden hadn't let all those unvetted illegals into our country we wouldn't have to worry about diseases we cured long ago coming back. There has also been a resurgence of TB here which is prevalent in other countries. There is nothing 'knee jerk' about that.
The reason these diseases are coming back is because all the anti-vax misinformation floating around on the internet has led to a significant increase in vaccine exemptions among people like you who don't understand the science very well.
Your claim that these diseases were "cured" long ago is a dead giveaway of your ignorance on this subject.
Nothing was ever "cured." We were able to say we had successfully "eradicated" diseases (like measels) in the U.S. for a short period because the vaccination rate had been high enough for a long enough period that the disease was held at bay and was unable to establish a strong comeback on any population in and specific region.
The disease(s) were never, and are never "gone."
They're just always hanging out out there on the periphery....waiting for the herd immunity to drop and open the door for them to come back in.
It is no coincidence that Texas has one of the highest vaccination exemption rates for school aged children in the nation and lo and behold, that's where measels is currently rearing it's ugly head again!
It's not a question of if but when we have outbreaks in the major population centers of TX.
Gonna be a lot of dead babies and children.
Blaming it on unvaccinated immigrants is pretty silly....and also disengenious. Even IF our government was able to successfully crack down on all this wingnut, anti-vaccine misinformation out there and bring the immunization rate on the MMR vaccine up to where it needs to be to prevent outbreaks (97%)
we STILL can't hide from the rest of the world.
Every minute of every day countless people are stepping off planes from points all over the world carrying who knows what bug or virus may have hitch-hiked in with them.
If you want to blame anybody blame anti-vaxers.....but that wouldn't be RFK Jr.
He's already said HIS kids are vaccinated (of course!).
