Texas measles outbreak grows to 90 cases, worst level in 30 years
Epicenter of latest outbreak had one of state’s highest immunization exemption rates for 2023-24 school year
Summary
Texas is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in 30 years, with 90 reported cases, mostly among unvaccinated children and teenagers.
The outbreak is centered in Gaines County, where nearly 18% of students opted out of vaccinations. Officials warn of further spread, with cases already appearing in neighboring New Mexico.
The surge coincides with the confirmation of anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as national health secretary under Trump.
This has prompted concerns as the CDC halts some vaccine campaigns and postpones a vaccine-safety panel meeting.
..... worst level so far!
Freedom Freckles for all true Texicans now!
Don't worry their immune system will kick in.
Hopefully lots of anti-vaxxers die from it ❤️
You should be disappointed to learn that most of the "antivaxxers" probably already got Attenuvax, or even the modern MMR vaccine. It's their children and other at-risk groups that will suffer the most.
Yes but hopefully no one who can’t or has immune system issues doesn’t because of this
I thought we had a story with the count over 100 already?
Edit: Browsed headlines. The statement was "near 100"
This is just Texas.
The "over 100" one includes New Mexico.
Aha, that's the one I was thinking of.
I'm probably a few years late but now I'm on the side of the people who wanted to wall America.
Hey RFK jr you anti vax stupid worm brained dumb shit....get working on this one
He'll get right on aligning their chakras, making sure they drop their SSRIs, get plenty of sunshine, work out, and eat right.
Maybe on one of those new health
concentration campsspas he is dreaming of.
And now they are exporting their biped disease spreaders to California.
They were not smart enough to get vaxxed, and they are not smart enough not to travel around the country when they caught it.
If only there was some way to prevent this besides thoughts and prayers...
At least the price of eggs went down...
They're only $7 per dozen!
