What data do you have to support your comments?
I’ve looked and can’t find it.

ned literally posted it on the previous page

If the argument is it’s due to unvaccinated illegals, you’re even dumber if you live in a state with high levels of immigration and don’t vaccinate for MMR.

I said what I said.

No proof but I’m willing to bet it’s all illegals and imported diseases from people not vetted….

if it was only illegals, we'd be seeing regular outbreaks in Sanctuary cities like Miami, LA, Chicago and New York rather than West Texas though. illegals have been around these places for decades

A measles outbreak was reported in Chicago several months ago.

This is what happens when government ruins its goodwill with its citizens to trust it.

They’re so common place there that it’s not news.

Maybe one reason that you don't just let anyone into this country.

All the usual alters in the first several responses cast bait, then like clockwork the others can’t refrain from falling victim.

Going up in 100,000 increments for cases is going to keep that line low. Measles started reappearing after 2010 in the US particularly 2013 & 2014.

What is brought in changes with each large wave of illegals. Sometime it’s only stuff from other parts of the world like South or Central America.

Just in 2022 Polio was reported as reemerging in the US. At time of article there was just one case in New York that actually caused paralysis, but there were others plus it being detected in the wastewater of 5 counties including in and around NYC.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/15/health/polio-paralysis-vaccine-health-wellness/index.html

In 2015 after over 6 years of Obama’s illegal waves
quote:

Diseases once associated with “elsewhere” are increasingly being found in the southern states of the USA. Infectious disease physician Peter Hotez was so concerned that he founded a school of tropical medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, well within the territory that Hotez argues is one of the world’s ten hotspots for so-called neglected tropical diseases.

Similar stories for other diseases in past 11 years ever since Obama, and the Presidency of Biden, Biden, & Biden made Obama’s illegal numbers look like child’s play.

In 2023 Some places including Chicago and NYC were allowing illegals to enter schools without vaccination records, but even if illegals forced to get vaccinated before entering school the illegal parents and others still interact with kids, their parents, and teachers. Also, there are non-school related interactions.

In this particular county in OP It could be anti-vaccine for both legal and illegal residents, but many anti-vaccine ones would seemingly be a long held belief and not just since the mRNA vaccine concerns as 29 of the cases are between 5 and 17 years old with another 5 cases at 18 or older (1 unknown).

Any below 1 (if any) do not automatically fall into anti-vaccine reasons.

What’s brought in changes by wave of illegals or refugees. Measles were first reintroduced after 2 or 3 years of Obama. It went down some during Covid like other contagious diseases, but in 2024 it went up to almost 300 cases.

And 48 cases of anything is going to stand out a lot less in Miami, LA, Chicago, or New York than in a county of 8,000.

So you should be active in protecting your communities and your kids from the diseases carried by visitors and undocumented migrants. Why aren’t republicans objecting to Ralph Abraham and RFK, Jr as they rail against “mass vaccination?”

Are they officially against all vaccinations and want to get rid of them?

I would prefer to first keep any and all undocumented and vetted foreigners out and then make a decision on vaccinations needed per my situation. Example if I lived in west Texas I’d probably ensure all my lived ones got the vaccine bc our shite govt failed the people and allowed sickness into our borders


This is all based on my assumption that’s it’s from foreign entities

Read the statement from Abraham on page 2 or so above and please give me your opinion about it.

A lot of politician speak. Seems to not like the Covid vaccine or pharmaceutical companies too much. I’m down with that.

Let's get these facts straight. Tuberculosis is almost unheard of anywhere in the US....except for border States. Now we have a measles outbreak. Care to guess where that is? During COVID, we were forced to stay home. Hell, I had to generate a letter for my employees to carry, in case they go pulled over BY OUR POLICE!, because OUR GOVERNMENT said only essential people were allowed to go to work! Meanwhile, the democrats were fighting Trump, tooth and nail, to stop the border wall and doing everything they could to make our southern border open. Open to an influx of 3rd world peoples who had no idea what a "vaccine" was.

Today, we still have dems openly advocating and protesting because we want a secure border and people who illegally entered, deported. Logic and reason do not exist with some, and the others have nefarious reasons for their mindset that does not involve the well being of the American citizen.
