The right wingers love to blame immigrants when they refuse to take responsibility for their own actions in this context.


So you're saying 3rd world countries are filled with people that are up to date with their shots?

A smelly immigrant brought it up there.


An unvaccinated US citizen who traveled to an area with an active outbreak is just as likely

I wonder how the anti-vaxxer crowd feels about this?

Measles vaccines predate the Covid vaccine and thus vaccine hesitancy by decades. Meanwhile, 3rd world countries whom we have imported millions via the Democrat machine in the previous administration do not vaccinate for measles but you retards are going to pretend otherwise?

Pennsylvania has a lot of Amish folks, so probably two of them.


Many Amish get vaccines.

I remember when USC QB Rodney Peete got the measles. Only time I’ve ever really heard about it

I don't pretend otherwise. I said it was just as likely as an immigrant. I just know there are other ways it gets in. Vaccination rates have been decreasing, so it is definitely possible for one of our own to bring it in

I’m going to guess they were illegals.

From the article:

To protect the privacy of the patients and their families, the department of health said it will not release any additional details that could lead to the identification of the individuals.


We will never know, so...

Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said Tuesday. Both were unvaccinated.



Just Darwin doing work. Hopefully it wasn't some little kids whose dumbass parents decided to not vaccinate them.

If so, I hope those people feel guilt the rest of their miserable lives.

While a shame this happens in today's world - the article sounds like they are deliberately avoiding giving Any detail on the two people (ie. Age, health status, etc)



Also, depending on the age (im assuming they were not kids or they'd be sure to note that) I wonder if they even knew they weren't immunized? The last shot you get is around 4-6 years old.

This administration is a joke


The lack of self awareness of a leftist to say this of the current administration, after the one we just had, is so off the charts it's practically impossible for my brain to comprehend it.

I voted for Trump twice (in the same election), but like any rational person, I don't agree with everything he does.


Harris makes RFK look like a Nobel Prize winner. She lacks any semblance of common or business sense, much like her (former) boss.

Perhaps the last and current administration are both ineffective. Can one agree to that?

Dude. The anti-public health movement in right-wing America will make Americans the disease carrying people that others keep out. That is the fact.

No. One need look no further than a secure border and tons of illegals being removed. We can also look at the somewhat return to sanity regarding gender BS, DEI, etc. I mean, I could go on, but you get the point.

The Biden administration was a literal clown show. Don't make me post pictures of the people in his administration. No one deserves that.

Hurst and McConnell state that immunization can be especially low among conservative groups, with only 6% of Swartzentruber Amish participating, compared to 63% of the overall Amish population and 85% of the non-Amish population, according to a 1984 study (Paradox, Hurst/McConnell).

Do Amish get vaccinated.

Thank you.

There is zero equivalence between the 2 administrations. Any person with a functioning brain can figure that out.

As for the measles, it could be an Amish person, but it's much more likely to be an unvaccinated person from the 3rd world. A simple comparison between the number of Amish & the millions of illegal immigrants that came in 2020 -2024 would bear that out.

I remember when I lived in NOVA there were a few people that had malaria. The press was doing their best to scare everybody. The skeeters were gonna give malaria to errybody. As it turned out, it was a group of people that just got in from Southeast Asia.
