We have let anything and anyone into this country without full examinations. It’s a wonder plagues of all kinds aren’t occurring. But let’s blame Mennonites and excuse illegal aliens. Makes sense.

It’s a little early to tell. We average around 240 cases a year and we’re close to that right now in February. Seems like something worth monitoring at least for the CDC.

I'd like to see a breakdown of alien cases vs citizen cases.

Lets be honest....if Trump wasn't elected, and RFK wasn't secretary of HHS for 2 weeks, no one would be talking about measles. Nothing has changed, and yet you start hearing this stuff. If Kamala was in the white house, and some transgender was leading HHS, literally nothing would be mentioned about any of this.

I live near the "Outbreak area". These are Mennonites, they've gotten it every year I've been here (at least 10).

There's some truth to this, but it's more than just Trump and RFK. The new health secretaries/directors/nominee group as a whole are pretty atypical re: vaccine policy compared to what we're used to.

we're up to about 240 cases per year now.
Not sure whether that is a "comeback," but it is one Hell of a spike.

Not sure what you are saying....because no policies at all have been changed. I would think this would have more to do with Biden's immigration policies vs. RFK's thoughts on vaccines

There have been articles written regarding the rise of measles for well over decade. This has nothing to do with Trump or RFK.

Maybe so, but we all know why there has been an uptick of articles in the last week.

I think you're probably right that they're reacting to the epidemic in light of the new leadership.

The martyrdom is strong in this one ....

More kids die from the shots than they did from measles and it’s not even close.

also true, but I think it definitely has do with RFK's positions. HHS and the CDC usually respond aggressively to outbreaks like this and we can't really expect them to anymore. Do the patriots even want them to respond aggressively to this?

Respond aggressively to measles?
How about get a handle on the far scarier tuberculosis coming in in droves.
