Already, the U.S. has more measles cases this year than in all of 2024, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said. Other states with outbreaks — defined as three or more cases — include New Mexico, Kansas, Ohio and Oklahoma. Since February, two unvaccinated people have died from measles-related causes.
The new outbreaks confirm health experts’ fears that the virus will take hold in other U.S. communities with low vaccination rates and that the spread could stretch on for a year. The World Health Organization said this week cases in Mexico are linked to the Texas outbreak.
If only you had this thing… called vaccines. Oh well!
Dipwhit actually had a good idea. See, if you get the measles once, then your body will build up an immunity to it. Now, if you could get the measles without any of the negative effects, that would be even better. But is probably science fiction.
