Measles cases are increasing due to declining vaccination rates. In the US, the majority of people who get measles are unvaccinated. International travellers are more likely to spread measles than migrants from South America where measles have been been eliminated as an endemic disease.

Measles is spreading & doubling each day in Texas & not a peep out of the administration, specifically RFK This isn't some "chicken little" bullshit. It's happening right before our eyes. IMO, yes it is "CLB". Don't see measles "doubling daily". The State of Texas has responded and is investigating. Just like the State of Washington has done in 2019 and I believe 2022. https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/measles-outbreak-feb-14-2025
Well you are mistaken.
It doubled from 24 to 48 cases this past week.

TB, polio, measles, etc., etc. Border states have been seeing 'elsewhere' diseases for years and years after large surges. Then sanctuary cities see them. Then you couple all of that with the idiotic Wuhan policies that forced folks into lockdowns. This caused a huge drop in younger kids missing their shots. This was a concern at the time and pointed out as a real possibility a couple of years ago. Another great example of 'unintended consequences' from Leftist policies.
This measles outbreak is due to unvaccinated children in a red state.
Your attempt to hang this albatross around the necks of those on the left is bogus.

Yea, they might. Just as any American travelling abroad can do just the same.
Well of course once again, you don't come in here with receipts as the kids say.
The Donald will label migrants with anything that will resonate with his MAGA deplorables.

Correct, that it is now spreading in them. But it got started from someone coming in with it and spreading it to them.
But, yes, the Left are tacitly—or openly—okaying the illegals entering with it. The Left also were the ones that installed the lockdowns and, by default, exacerbated the children not getting their shots. So, it is what it is at this point. Hopefully, it is a learning experience.

As you can imagine, I don't agree.
Of course someone or something came in with it. It's anyone's guess whether it's a migrant, a tourist or an American citizen as the culprit.
Parents are responsible to make sure they get their shots. Not the Schools, not the Government.
The parents...
And I would venture a guess that most in this forum got their shots because of their parents.

You are misleading and inaccurate. Your post clearly says "doubling daily" not "this week" that you now fall back on.
Should we not expect 96 cases today, 192 tomorrow if doubling daily were true? That would be doubling daily.
Not looking for a pissin match, just calling out what I believe are over exagerations and falsehoods.

People actually think DOGE has identified waste, fraud and abuse in 5 days.
What they are doing is gutting programs they don't like according to Project 2025. Just browse through this project & similarities with the happenings over the last 4 weeks will be clear as to the priorities.
They haven't done any analysis and don't even know the functions of the departments they are cutting. Now they're scrambling to find them so they can report back to work.
People don't know do I go to work? Do I call somebody; if so, who? No one is answering the phones. Should I open this email? Should I go to work & have a "slip & fall" in the lobby? (I made that one up)
Life is stressful enough for most Americans & we don't need the government fucking around with thousands wondering if they have a job or not.

On the other hand, coverages of the second dose have been more variable and often falling short of the recommended threshold of 95%.

Both happen. But the border states have a much bigger problem than a traveler from abroad. Just from sheer numbers. Then the sanctuary cities like Chicago will see an increase.
Parents are responsible to make sure they get their shots. Not the Schools, not the Government.
Correct. But remember this was brought up during the lockdowns how people were not allowed to go to the doctor for other things or were too leery, etc. This was a big concern back then.
But you need 95%+ vaccinated rate with measles. Measles will go around a corner and through a tunnel and over a mountain to get you --it is very infectious.
So, that is why it is considered an 'other places' disease. So, a traveler from the USA (very likely vaccinated) is far less likely to go get it and bring it back than an unvaccinated person is to bring it in.
Remember during the Pandemic they were not even being screened for Wuhan at the time. So, for sure they were not checked for measles vaccines.
But this is not new. This has been happening in some form after a mass immigration event. TB, flus, measles, polio, even bedbugs have been a concern.

Look what he did to Georgia...
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who publicly backed the Donald for “business reasons,” just got a harsh lesson in what it actually means to do business with the Donald. He got completely screwed over.
Let me break this down for you. Back in 2024, Kemp said that even though he wasn’t Trump’s biggest fan personally, he preferred his policies over those of Vice President Kamala Harris. “It’s a business decision,” he told a Republican audience.
And now?
His business partner, the Donald has decided to gut FEMA and deny Georgia the critical disaster aid that President Biden had previously approved for hurricane recovery. That’s right, Kemp begged for an extension of FEMA assistance for cleanup efforts after Hurricane Helene, and the Donald's FEMA basically told him to go pound sand.
Let me remind you that Biden had immediately stepped in after Hurricane Helene, ensuring Georgia had the federal support it needed. But the moment the Donald got his hands on FEMA, he made it a priority to cut off aid to a state whose governor helped him win in 2024.
This is classic the Donald —vindictive, incompetent, and eager to punish anyone who isn’t groveling at his feet.

Earlier today, the Donald on the EU possibly banning food imports from the US: "I don't mind. Let them do it. Let them do it."
Don't look at that shiny thing over there....look right here...
This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone.
It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done.
Kinda nuts don't ya think?.
ARE THE FARMERS LISTENING TO THIS?

Data anomalies don't necessarily mean there is fraud or waste. Waste is in the eye of the beholder and fraud is determined in court of law.
