Measles is back

[Stalin]

All those fools who support RFK and the whole anti-vax nonsense need to follow this story

WASHINGTON: The United States in 2025 has recorded its worst measles epidemic in more than 30 years, according to a count released Monday by Johns Hopkins University, highlighting a crisis that President Donald Trump's vaccine-skeptic US health secretary is accused of fueling.

The serious and highly contagious disease, once deemed eliminated from the country thanks to vaccines, is making a comeback against a backdrop of falling vaccination rates and growing mistrust of health authorities.

A total of 1,277 cases have been confirmed since the beginning of the year in nearly 40 of the 50 US states, with Texas accounting for over 60 percent of the outbreak, according to Johns Hopkins.

The total US figure is the highest since 1992.

The epidemic has so far claimed three lives -- all unvaccinated people -- including two young children. According to several experts the toll has been largely underestimated, as they expressed concern about under-reporting.

The previous measles-related infant death in the United States was in 2003, three years after measles had been declared officially eradicated thanks to vaccinations.

The last major outbreak was recorded in 2019 in Orthodox Jewish communities of New York and New Jersey, with 1,274 cases but no deaths.

Measels kills somewhere between 1 and 3 kids per 1,000 which is certainly low on the list of leading causes of death in children. According to some data the risk of a child dying from a vaccine is 20 times greater than the risk of dying from measles. Because of the widespread reporting of so many deaths following Covid vaccinations, Americans have grown leery of vaccinations. If someone is taking risks either way, the lower risk is to remain unvaccinated.

Vaccines and sudden infant death: An analysis of the VAERS database 1990–2019 and review of the medical literature​

Abstract​

Although there is considerable evidence that a subset of infants has an increased risk of sudden death after receiving vaccines, health authorities eliminated "prophylactic vaccination" as an official cause of death, so medical examiners are compelled to misclassify and conceal vaccine-related fatalities under alternate cause-of-death classifications.

Measels can be fatal. Wacko vaccine hater RFK, Jr. COULD have promoted vaccinating children, but he did not, and they got sick.

Yes, Measels can be fatal, but child deaths attributed to Measels are far fewer than child deaths attributed to bad reactions to vaccines.
