Measles has spread to where I am at. Other than a mask/Vaccine, what else can help protect against it?

Move to a better state.

Infectious disease doesn't care about your political leanings.

That's true, but it does "target" areas harder. Typically low income since there is little choice to go out into the world and MAGA.

Antivaxx was for decades a fringe left wing thing. Then they discovered the 'freedom' message and got a lot of right wing in. But there are plenty of lift wing areas in danger.

We're all interconnected. Shitty people in Texas can kill us all.

That's not how vaccinations work, and FYI around 3% of those that received 2 doses of the vaccine are still susceptible to getting it. So people in any state can still get measles & even those that have been vaccinated.

Yes that's the point. By purposefully hosting the virus they are endangering everyone who isn't protected because it's not a regional thing. It spreads on planes and in tourist areas. Which is why there's a case from LAX in California now.
Furthermore the more they willfully host it, the more it mutates and risks breaking the containment we do have on it.
