State of Emergency Declared In US Measles Outbreak​


https://sg.news.yahoo.com/state-emergency-declared-us-measles-outbreak-224838912.html
A state of emergency was declared on Friday in the western US state of Washington following a measles outbreak that has affected more than two dozen people, the majority of them children. The disease was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 but has since made a comeback that is tied to imported cases and the rise of the anti-vaccine movement.... "Measles is a highly contagious infectious disease that can be fatal in small children," Washington Governor Jay Inslee said in a statement. "The existence of more than 26 confirmed cases in the state of Washington creates an extreme public health risk that may quickly spread to other counties."


~~~~~~
No one dares to blame the re-infecting of America with infectious communicable diseases on the criminal insurgents who are transporting them across our border. Everyone is afraid to expose the causal connection between the re-emergence of these deadly pathogens with the uncontrolled flooding of America with these infected, third-world invaders.
It doesn’t take an epidemiologist to realize that political correctness is the deadliest disease of them all. Measles is just the tip of the iceberg. Also reported by the CDC and actively censored by the corrupt media are the following:
Adenoviral Conjunctivitis, Botulism, Bubonic Plague, Chicken Pox, Cholera, Diphtheria, Cryptosporidiosis, Dengue Fever, Echinococcosis, Enterohemorrhagic E. Coli, Giardiasis, novel or re-emergent Influenza, Hantavirus, Hepatitis A, Viral Hemorrhagic Fever, HIV/AIDS, Leprosy, louse-borne relapsing fever, Malaria, Meningococcal disease, Meningoencephalitis, Mumps, Paratyphoid, Rubella, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Shigellosis, Smallpox, Syphilis, Toxoplasmosis, Trichinellosis, Infectious Tuberculosis, Tularemia, Typhus, Yellow Fever and Whooping Cough.​
I've posted about these communicable diseases being introduced and reintroduced into America before yet the Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrat Leftists have remained oblivious to the facts. Without control of our borders and the people coming to America these diseases will only become more prevalent again.
Does anyone actually believe that the corrupt media would report confirmed cases of Ebola or Marburg (the deadliest of all Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers)if they arrived in America via illegal alien invaders? This is the biggest public health emergency since the Spanish Flu of 1918, and everyone's in denial.

Yay anti-vaccers! A nearly wiped out, highly contagious disease sometimes fatal to children...brought back by your voodoo and stupid-think! Hooray!
Tragic.

Only thing more stupid is blaming it on the border. Trying for a national emergency...are you getting paid to spew that propaganda bull****?

They already do but, there are waivers. The article mentions "imported" strains also.

If people are migrating from place to place, especially countries, they are spreading the disease far and wide.

State of Emergency Declared In US Measles Outbreak

I wonder if Trump would round up the infected and put them inside a walled area. Odds are he wouldn't, even though four such walls would be very effective for isolating all the people who've contracted measles and would indeed stop them from infecting the rest of the population.

Vaccinate asylum seekers. Require vaccination records for international travelers. I'm fine with that. However, let's not pretend that this whole mess doesn't have its roots in ant-vaxxer idiocy.

If it was simply the Anti-vaxers, where did they contract the disease?

I am an adult, and I was vaccinated, so I don't need to worry, right? As long as you were vaccinated, you shouldn't worry... that's my understanding. All these people who were never vaccinated, are the only ones at risk.

Vaccination records are part of the immigration and VISA process, but I am not sure about tourist VISAs. The process if very involved for immigrants though. You're tested for TB, HIV, and all kinds of stuff.

There has to be an active host present. It doesn't come out of thin air.

From you article.

More than 350,000 cases of measles were reported from around the world in 2011, with outbreaks in the Pacific, Asia, Africa, and Europe. In that same year, 90% of measles cases in the U.S. were associated with cases imported from another country.

Americans do travel outside their own country.

Do you understand the concept of herd immunity?

Sure. All the cases but one are in Clark county [WA]. The one in King county [WA] case was a 50 year old man attending a pro-basketball game in Portland.

You do realize, don't you, that people from all over the world have traveled all over the US since the dawn of the US, right? So your argument has no basis in reality, and this "argument" is really just conspiratorial nonsense? The reality is that anti-vaxxers have seriously damaged the US' herd immunity. Sorry if you don't like that, but it's the truth. Because even if you were right and, as you say, we're letting too many brown people into the country, you know what would stop these problems? Being vaccinated.

Might not be too hard to find the source then.

So lets stop all international flights then. Enough of the jet setting. It is making us sick.

All I'm saying is that the disease must be present in the non-vaccinated population. Wouldn't be surprised if patient zero was a recently enrolled at a public school.

It doesn’t seem all that long ago that travel outside of CONUS required a yellow pamphlet documenting vaccinations.

The CDC has shot recommendations and warnings posted regularly for foreign travel.

No proof of vaccination is required to come to the US on a travel visa. Also, millions of Americans fly internationally on a regular basis, including antivaxers, and vaccinations are not required to fly on a plane and it is really easy to spread airborn diseases on a plane. So Americans traveling abroad and tourists traveling here are, IMO, the main sources. I always thought it was weird that you had to have vaccinations to travel to the US on an immigrant visa but not for a tourist visa, as if they think germs will leave you alone as long as you are on vacation.

I don’t recall that ever being a requirement outside of the military.
