re: US will soon break record for measles cases in a year

During the 1950s and 1960s it was likely in the millions, there were over 500,000 cases reported annually until around 1964, but the majority of cases were never reported

That is a valid argument. But if your parents simply told your family doctor you had had the measles, he would likely have reported it. Anti Vaxxers are primarily too young to have seen any of that stuff. The irony is the anti vax movement is a product of a highly successful vaccination campaign in the previous generation(s).

This outbreak has very little to do with American parents not vaccinating their children and almost everything to do with undocumented immigration.

I'll ask again, how was the virus reintroduced to this community you are trying to scapegoat? If you knew anything about herd immunity, or even just had the ability to utilize basic logic and reasoning, you would be asking yourself this question.

Clearly it's the illegal immigrants, not the retarded millennial middle class SAHMs who think vaccination leads to autism.

It's illegals, and God dammit build the wall.

Listen, illegal immigration does contribute to the issue but the main issue is people are dumb and refusing to vaccinate their children. Their is a rise in the amount of "anti vaxxers" because of the "fear of autism" and other bogus syndromes associated with it.

I am reading stories of a lot of major towns in places like Minnesota and Oregon where the epidemic is blowing up because they people are idiots and refusing to take care of their children.

So... where is it coming from? Do you think measles just pops up in someone if they are not vaccinated? Seriously, study up on some basic biology lad.

These people's kids would not be exposed to the virus in the first place, eliminating the necessity for a vaccine, if the virus wasn't being reintroduced from outside the herd.

This is what manbeartiger calls sound logic and biology.

You seriously can't see the circular logic here?

You don't just stop vaccinating.

I don't agree with this. People from the US travel abroad all the time and bring back all kinds of junk to the US.

Illegal immigration does contribute to it but is not necessarily the main reason why we currently are having these big outbreaks of measles.

That is a dumb reason to stop vaccinating. It only takes one case, then boom its everywhere in a hurry.

Hopefully that's a troll and I didn't really have to specify the obvious that measles hasn't been eradicated.
