Its called “exercise”

But not as strong as a vaccine
People who exercise constantly can still have heart attacks, usually due to hidden heart conditions, extreme overexertion, or genetics, though regular physical activity still lowers overall heart risk.

Right there’s a difference between lowering risks, as excercise, healthy diet, and not smoking absolutely do for heart attack. Vs. virtually complete prevention like the MMR vaccine.

The two things really aren’t comparable.
It has a very high R0 value; so yes, it’s a big deal for infants (not yet vaccinated), senior citizens, and those with compromised immune systems undergoing chemotherapy.
And of course heart attacks aren’t contagious.

Measles marching up to 2465 confirmed cases now.
Key statement from CDC - it really is due to the antivaxers.
However, vaccination coverage among U.S. kindergartners has decreased from 95.2% during the 2019–2020 school year to 92.5% in the 2024–2025 school year, leaving approximately 286,000 kindergartners at risk during the 2024–2025 school year.
Your example is flawed…again:
By your own logic neither California or Virginia should have the measles numbers that they have. Alaska and Hawaii might be the best example. How do you explain that neither have the highest number of measles cases? How many other states find themselves with the same outcome?
I am 100% for measles vaccination but clearly these examples show that other factors are contributing to high measles numbers. Why is it that you are not including these factors? You want to post these examples? Be ready to explain the above. If you can let’s do it. I would really like to read it. If you can’t, just be honest enough and admit that you do not know.
Study after study shows vaccinations are primary driver. Yes, there are other factors but the root cause of measles spreading is clear.
Looking at statewide vax rates isn’t going to tell the full story either. There are pockets of people not vaxxing pretty much everywhere. Also, the above isn’t per capita which is going to distort the numbers a bit too.
And if vax rates are low somewhere, it’s a matter of time before they are hit with cases.

Other factors he writes…
When you and others push to the extreme that measles cases are going up because of anti-vaxers these graphs clearly indicates that there is much more to it. Stop making generalization to prove a point. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You’re accusing me of something I haven’t done.
Read the thread and my posts. You’re trying to make out as the extreme one but that isn’t the case. Your attempts to do so are not going to work.
Keep going. Your own illustration clearly defines that it has much more to do than anti vaxer. You don’t like to be called for it.
No clue what you’re talking about. I didn’t post an illustration.
If you want to discuss this, I’m game for it. But you’re just making up stuff about me. It ain’t gonna work. Stop accusing me of things I didn’t do.

Science and math are hard
RT gave you an explanation of the color coded cases map above, so with
a little reflection pool time, you should get it. Here is another hint, California is
the most populous state…so…
The graphical data is all from the CDC. Even the CDC is still pointing out
the dropping vaccination rates as a problem. Ask yourself why the rates
are dropping now and ask yourself if leaders are standing up now to encourage
vaccinations and dispel the misinformation on vaccines causing autism or other
afflictions.

You are not answering the obvious contradictions to your own point. You, I, others do not know why this is happening. You can point to multiple correlations,
