Measles cases up 15000%

Takes a Trumper to equate an outbreak in Chicago with cases rising in South Carolina. The "ongoing problem" is decreased vaccinations in our current anti-science, pro-ideology political environment.
These outbreaks are due, almost entirely, to illegal immigration with unvaccinated foreign nationals who enter infected and spread it, often to other unvaccinated illegals.

Measles Outbreak Associated with a Migrant Shelter — Chicago, Illinois, February–May 2024​





And, it isn't just measles. TB made a comeback in the US due entirely to illegal immigration for example.

T. A., one immigrant shelter does not equate with all in the country. For instance, you will not find any immigrants involved this year in Texas, New Mexico, etc.

Hasty generalizations are easy to winkle out.

You miss the point. Illegal immigration is causing much of the problem with contagious diseases showing up in the US. These are people who SHOULDN'T BE HERE TO BEGIN WITH bringing Turd World diseases that otherwise wouldn't be present in the US with them. Much of the problem with contagions like TB, measles, mumps, and the like are it only takes one person to start a local or regional epidemic. One illegal using public transit who is active for TB, can produce multiple cases among the population.

One illegal entering the county who is an active carrier of smallpox--not that this is likely, but it is still possible--could potentially wipe out as much as 90% of the population of a major city on their own. That's how contagious smallpox is. Few people in the US today (the military to a degree, and some more elderly persons have been vaccinated but that's it) are vaccinated against it since it's supposedly a dead and gone disease.

Measles outbreaks usually start with a single case. We sure as hell don't need people who are here illegally bringing a case with them. That's the point.
 
This is what happens when you let millions of people into the US totally unvetted. That's on Biden. Measles outbreaks have been going on for over two years and are due primarily to illegals entering and not being screened under Biden. Canada has the same issue from the same source.


This is an ongoing problem.

Otherwise, the OP is inflammatory in its rhetoric. This "15,000%" increase amounts to 111 cases of which 27 were identified in the last week. 256 people are also isolated due to potential exposure. For the year, the CDC reported 1912 cases in the entire US.

(per the OP's source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/11/south-carolina-measles-outbreak )

So, this thread is really just another one about Trump bashing.
They are mostly due to anti-vaxers. Yes there is a huge growth in measles, but not impacting a huge slice of society. However, this is how a huge problem looks as it grows. There is no brake on measles because the Magas are anti-vacciners.

Most outbreaks wouldn't start at all if there was no illegal immigration going on. You are blaming a result, not the cause. I showed most, not all, of these outbreaks start with illegals, and not just measles. From there, yes the unvaccinated are more vulnerable but even the vaccinated can catch some of these diseases as many vaccines are nowhere near 100% reliable.
 
Measles can sometimes deelop into encephalitis, which is deadly. It can also lead to blindness and hearing loss.

Many of the outbreaks in the U.S. occur in conclaves of people who don't vaccinate, like the Amish and Mennonites. These communities have little or nothing to do with "dirty brown disease-carrying migrants" as our racists like to claim are the vectors.
MAGAt morons are poorly educated, rather dim witted or demented and obviously supportive of an oath-breaking pedophile to lead them as their "daddy". Weird!

QED on poorly educated, dim witted or demented MAGAts.

The point is this: unvaccinated people cause these outbreaks. The immigrants illegal cause almost none of the outbreaks.

Conclusion is that people should get vaccinated.

Now to your extraneous comment about illegals: start a thread about removing them.

No, an infected person is, often an illegal.

Illegal immigration and infections: Evidence from two modern pandemics​


Illegal Immigration and the Threat of Infectious Disease

Illegal immigration may expose Americans to diseases that have been virtually eradicated, but are highly contagious, as in the case of TB. This disease rose by 20% globally from 1985 to 1991, and was declared a worldwide emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1995. Furthermore, TB frequently occurs in connection with the human immunodeficiency virus


Our Next Health Crisis is Coming Across the Border. There’s Still Time to Stop it​

The diseases most frequently popping up across the country include mumps, measles and tuberculosis (TB), but many others are occurring too, even including polio. It wasn’t that long ago that this country had all-but eliminated these preventable infectious diseases through vaccinations (and for TB, treatment).

However, with millions of unvaccinated people crossing our border from over 180 countries around the world, we are seeing a resurgence of these preventable infectious illnesses.





Conclusion is that people should get vaccinated.

That doesn't preclude that the initial cause of a contagious disease outbreak is frequently from infected illegal aliens.
 
His appointment was a BJ to the moonbat conspiracy theorists.

Unfortunately, the cost to America is a sicker, weaker nation.
A large part of the MAGAt base are the moonbat conspiracy theorists. The problem for Trump is that most of them are ardent "Release the Files!" conspiracy theorist. They are the fire that Trump started and is now trying to put out but can't.

Trump has tried for months to quash the Epstein Files conspiracy theory and has both repeatedly failed and keeps showing signs he's very worried about them. We live in interesting times.
 
I gave you recent overwhelming sources that you are wrong.

You have not given one source to back any of your drivel to this point in this thread.
 
He's nuts. His own family knows it and warned the public about it. Roadkill? Whale heads? Anti-vaccine? WTF???
He was also having an affair with a journalist during the last election. The journalist had to resign in disgrace - RFK Jr. gets appointed to HHS.
