Vaccination rates in Mexico and the US are almost identical.

Much of the outbreak is due Americans not vaccinating their kids.

I realize that there are refugees pouring in from all over the world to our idiot country. This happens through agreements between our illustrious State Dept. and the UN. Are you saying that these ‘overseas’ refugees come in without any health check at all just like all the ones that came on their own from Central America? If that is the case, this is so much worse. The obvious goal/end game for Obama is equality in sickness and misery with the rest of the world. We are all letting it happen without any palpable resistance.

And in other news ... "ZERO U.S. Measles Deaths in 10 Years, but Over 100 Measles Vaccine Deaths Reported"

What I find most interesting is that measles deaths dropped to less than 2 per 100,000 people in the 1940's ... two decades before the measles vaccine was created. I'm an advocate for vaccines when applied at an appropriate age and used to combat an illness having a high mortality rate. Beyond that it is just plain stupid. The flu vaccine in particular is reprehensible. Flu doesn't kill; pneumonia does. That disgusting fear-based industry isn't even targeting the real danger with their $32 per shot multi-billion dollar business model.

Many of the last batch of illegals did not come from Mexico.

Where I live you can’t send your kid to school without proof of vaccinations.

There is a reason why they call third world chitholes third world chitholes. When they come here they bring the third world chithole and all its diseases with them.

More likely to be a legal than an illegal foreigner visiting Disneyland.

It was gone in the US, but Obama invited it back in.

Measles kill 1-2/1000 cases in developed countries and up to 10% in very poor countries. In countries naive to measles exposure the death rate has been even higher. It probably killed more Aztecs and Incans than anything except smallpox. Healthy little kids can usually ward it off, but older or sicker people are at higher risk of dying.

Barry’s “unaccompanied” kids. We’re paying them to come in and kill off American kids. What a country!

My cousin had a baby last month and was told on Friday that she nor the baby can go outside for 21 days because of Measle outbreak in Phoenix.

z—————

Because your cousin was not permitted to have the measles as a child and could not pass the antibodies to her infant. Measles vaccine just shifts the population deaths to mostly compromised older children and adults to healthy infants.

All children in developing countries diagnosed with measles should receive two doses of vitamin A supplements, given 24 hours apart. This treatment restores low vitamin A levels during measles that occur even in well-nourished children and can help prevent eye damage and blindness. Vitamin A supplements have been shown to reduce the number of deaths from measles by 50%.

I’m not sure, as we’ve homeschooled for the last 20 years, but I think you can file a religious exemption from vaccinations with the public schools.

And the illegal “Children” in last years surge were mandated to be admitted to school without health screenings or vaccinations. This is our government trying to sound concerned while bringing in disease vectors as part Obama’s continued devastation of the USA.

You are an idiot. Most cases had vaccinations.

The overseas anti-vaccination movement is a Muslim phenomenon (Muslims and euro greenies).

I think you’re right - they have the strain, they know where it’s from (Pock-ee-ston would be my guess) and they won’t say.
