(AP) Kansas measles cases double to 23 and new Ohio outbreak sickens 10

Measles doesn’t just materialize in the middle of nowhere. Someone carried it into rural America and, considering where this started, it was probably introduced by an illegal immigrant.

You're posting nonsense. Mennonites and other Texans have public interaction.

This is an epidemic of the unvaccinated. But with it building steam, who knows?

Amazing! And so soon. It just goes to show how many people have been totally hornswoggled by the same conspiratorialist bullshit that RFK jr. peddles and Trump gobbles up.
 
Quite posting nonsense. Mennonites and other Texans have public interaction.

This is an epidemic of the unvaccinated. But with it building steam, who knows what might occur?
That is nonsense. Mennonites aren't jetting around the world. Someone introduced it to a rural Mennonite community in Texas and that someone is likely to have been an illegal immigrant.

As for “epidemic”, horse pocky. We are nowhere near that. The last measles epidemic was in 1990 with 27,808 cases nationwide.

I've always fantasized about getting a few rural acres when I retire.

But since Trump? No way! For all their beating on big cities, I'm actually pretty happy with my life.

A memo from the xenophobic world of zero evidence.

More vaccinations would have helped stem the tide - and more will reduce future numbers.

I'm with you there. I prefer to live where mass transit is plentiful.
 
Well so long as it doesn't outbreak too bad, the vaxxed may be safe. But if it grows too large, than we can start expecting mutations and variances that will put the vaccinated people at risk.
Not just that, but the vaccine is only 97% effective (and likewise, requires a 97% vax rate for herd immunity)

So if you expose 100 vaccinated people, 3 will get sick.
 
People in the middle ages, who were dropping like flies from every kind of disease you can think of, would have paid gold to get the vaccines that we currently have today.

But a bunch of dumbasses are trying to ruin it for everybody.
 
So you think infected big city libs are driving hundreds of miles to a closed religious community in the middle of nowhere because reasons, do you.
I'll tell you what. You don't bother fabricating false narratives to satisfy your limited viewpoint, and I won't accuse you of claiming the Mennonites hire illegal aliens. How's that?

On that we agree. But what's your point? If you're claiming that you have scientific evidence that illegals brought and spread disease among the Mennonites, you've yet to provide it - and as I've pointed out, mere common sense does not support your theory.

His point is he's got you talking about illegal immigrants instead of stupid antivaxxers and terrible public health policy.

Because no legal immigrant or American citizen could ever travel or be an anti-vaxxer.

People who don’t have their children vaccinated for measles aren’t stupid. Measles was eradicated in this country 25 years ago. There’s no common sense reason for a rural closed religious community to do it. They're not traveling anywhere and the probability of anyone introducing it there is extremely low.

Youre absolutely correct - if you dont care about dead and sick children.

While focused on the growing Texas Measles outbreak, I was surprised to find we seem to be in a nationwide growing Measles Epidemic - occurring primarily in rural areas among the unvaccinated.

The Kansas outbreak, with 23 cases (recently doubled in less than a week), appears to be related to the still growing Texas outbreak.

The Ohio outbreak quickly grew from a single case to 10 positive.

The New Mexico's outbreak - directly related to Texas' outbreak - has grown to 46 cases.

Unlike the epicenter Texas county with an 82% vax rate, several of the effected Kansas counties have vax rates in the 50's & 60's! Given that, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Kansas rate burgeon higher.

--

I must add that in 2021 Kansas greatly expanded religious exemptions from vaccinations, requiring only a handwritten note claiming religious objection. Ostensibly, perhaps along with greatly expanding home schooling requiring no vaccinations, this is how some Kansas counties have vaccination rates of only 50 and 60%.

Also to note: Growing numbers of Texas measles victims are being admitted to hospitals with concomitant Vitamin A toxicity. This would ostensibly seem to be related to RFK Jr's Measles Treatment advice.


This started in Arizona right?

It's migrated across half the US.

Is this that "natural immunity" Right ****ing Krazy Jr.has been nattering about?

BS. There hasn’t been a single case of measles in that county for over 20 years. Most people don’t make life decisions based on an astronomical improbability. People who live in an isolated rural community don’t go out of their way to vaccinate kids against a disease that was eradicated 25 years ago because it doesn’t make sense.

For the same reason neither you or anyone else is injected with every available vaccine. You aren’t vaccinated against bubonic plague, dengue fever, or Ebola because the odds of you encountering those diseases are pretty much zero. It’s just as unlikely that some kid in a rural Mennonite community is going to encounter Measles.
