Measles outbreak grows bigger in rural Texas, and officials expect more cases​

At least 58 new cases of measles have been reported across northwest Texas in recent weeks, state health officials said Tuesday, in a "highly contagious" outbreak that might be linked to lack of vaccination.

A bulk of these new cases in rural northwest Texas are in Gaines County with 45 documented incidents of the disease, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

In the last three weeks, nine cases have come from Terry County, two from Yoakum County and one each from Lubbock and Lynn Counties, according to the state.

At least four patients had been vaccinated, but the "rest are unvaccinated, or their vaccination status is unknown," the health department said.

Most of the infections are in school-age kids, and 13 have been hospitalized.

More cases are expected.

...........be held responsible for unnecessarily putting their kid's health, and other kid's health, in jeopardy?

What about the HHS director if his anti-vaccine stance convinced some of those parents not to vaccinate their kids? Any responsibility there?

He's been HHS director for a week. Please stop with the nonsense. We see through you and so does the rest of America.
RFK is not against vaccines that work and have been proven scientifically to work and be good for kids. We are on to you.

Texas health officials confirmed the state’s worst outbreak of measles in nearly 30 years is concentrated in a “close-knit, undervaccinated” Mennonite community in Gaines County.

As of Feb. 18 cases had more than doubled to 58 — mostly in children and teens — and 13 people had been hospitalized. Those who are infected are either unvaccinated or their vaccination status is unknown.

Are mennonit's illegals?

No

No

Yes. It is grounds for termination of parental rights.

Hardly

Hardly

Of course it is. A parent who fails to get the therapeutic treatments is an unloving parent.

Not because you say so. And I’m still wondering what you mean by “unclean”.

Yes, because I say so. I quite apparently know better than you in this matter.

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

‘Fraid not. It’s just an opinion.

And again, what do you mean by “unclean”?

RFK is in fact very much against the measles vaccine. He thinks the measles vaccine actually gives people the measles.

Here's the thing. Your thread title is "Should the parents of unvaccinated kids in S. Texas..." The first sentence is"... have been reported across northwest Texas ..." Do you see the problem there?

RFK Jr. says he’s not anti-vaccine. His record shows the opposite. It’s one of many inconsistencies

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells on the campaign trail about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record shows.

Roughly 7.5% of kindergarteners had parents or guardians who filed for an exemption for at least one vaccine in 2013. Ten years later, that number rose to more than 17.5% -- one of the highest in all of Texas, according to state health data.

Meanwhile, in neighboring New Mexico, at least nine cases have been confirmed in Lea County, which borders Texas, a spokesperson for the state Department of Health told ABC News on Friday.

Texas measles outbreak grows to 90 cases, largest in over 30 years

A measles outbreak in Texas has grown to 90 cases, mostly among unvaccinated children, state health data published Friday shows.

My guess is the huge increase in unvaccinated people coincides with anti COVID vaccination idiocy fomented by conservatives.

I personally don't care if others vaccinate or not. Our kids had their MMR's so if they are effective, they are protected. I had them twice--as a child and as an adult so same for me. I really see no reason to punish a parent for vaccinating or not vaccinating. It is a choice no matter what the law says.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Then change the law to mandate that children who attend public education get their MMR. Yes.

How many are illegals

The media made a mistake by reporting in one case a hospitalized individual was a "resident", (illegal), not a US citizen.
