West Texas is in the middle of a still-growing measles outbreak with 505 cases reported on Tuesday. The state expanded the number of counties in the outbreak area this week to 10. The highly contagious virus began to spread in late January and health officials say it has spread to New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Mexico.
Three people who were unvaccinated have died from measles-related illnesses this year, including two elementary school-aged children in Texas. The second child died Thursday at a Lubbock hospital, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attended the funeral in Seminole, the epicenter of the outbreak.
As of Friday, there were seven cases at a day care where one young child who was infectious gave it to two other children before it spread to other classrooms, Lubbock Public Health director Katherine Wells said.
I know it is nice to point out the stupidities and stating that you were right. But it just makes me feel sad. The amount of misinformation and misguided choices that have led to this situation were innocent people suffer.
For no good reason.
I hope, sincerely, the next time one speaks on ‘protecting the children’ they act like it.
These people care way more about appearing like they give a shit than actually, you know, giving a shit.
…and they had the audacity to call liberals and leftists “Social Justice Warriors” who didn’t actually stand for the principles they espoused.
Every accusation is a confession.
The victims here are all children. I am intensely angry at their irresponsible parents and even more so at the profiteering hucksters who convinced them that vaccines (that the parents already received) were bad.
