Texas now at 259 cases, 1 death
New Mexico at 33 cases and 1 death
US, per CDC, is reporting 308 cases total.
Of those cases outside of Texas and NM, most are linked to international travel.
Looks like the infection rate increases
may be leveling off but still in window of
contagious traveler for Texas.
What do you attribute that to?
My bet would be disinformation.
The anti vaccine movement has supporters on both sides of the aisle, they are well funded and spread their misinformation around the world.
And the article points to the exact same issue we are having in the US (vaccination rates).
Yeah as much as we rightfully should rag on domestic anti-vaxxers it’s an international issue
Disinformation in Europe?
Yes. Of course. It’s not just here.
Measles outbreaks, world outbreaks are cyclical.
Not in non-third world vaccinated countries.
This is all the fault of the anti-vaxxers.
Yep it’s the stupid “I have questions about things that have long been settled to further my own supplement MLM business, clout chasing, religiosity.” Whatever selfish BS they excrete from their forked tongue mouth holes, all at the expense of everyone else.
If “nature’s way” including natural selection could be limited harm those who make these choices to themselves I’d be fine. But you know virtually all these charlatans were fully vaccinated.
Really?

One measle case is too many but to accuse some is non sense.
Yes, really! It’s indisputable.
Each major outbreak has been related to low vaccination rates. The solution/problem is simple.
We are moving backwards and have been for a while, especially in specific pockets of the country. It’s painful to watch.
Interesting slide from 2024:
When we do not know the health and vaccination history of someone coming into the country it has consequences.
This slide is from 2019
This isn’t an immigration thing. In any case, that’s a topic we’ve been asked to not discuss. Let’s end that here and not bait the board into that discussion.
Poor and third world countries of course have more issues with infectious diseases. Their vaccination rates are lower. This is a known issue.
That said, there is a simple solution to this issue in first world countries and it’s for people to get vaccinated. You can’t stop infectious diseases from crossing the border but you can mitigate the damage when it gets here.
The only way someone travels internationally and brings back measles is if they weren’t bloody vaccinated themselves.
Look at the stats. There are millions of anti vaxxers in ccchina?
We had millions of individuals coming in withno idea if they were vaccinated or not. That is a fact we can’t ignore. Letting this happen has consequences.
Literally from your post
Yes, we should pay attention to international visitors vaccinations and help poor countries get vaccines.

I clearly said non-third world countries.
It’s a choice in America, Europe, Japan, etc.
Not so much in Madagascar (third world) or it looks like former Soviet Republic Ukraine, which is getting pummeled by an international thug.
Your home country is the main outlier in that regard.
