Let's just hope the illegal aliens who came here without any vetting or normal inoculations didn't introduce once dormant viruses or bacteria into American cities.
Nah, that's not possible!
Liberals care too much about American children to gamble with their lives and if even one is infected with tuberculosis from an illegal alien they would have closed the border. Full stop!
It's pure coincidence that the outbreaks coincide with the places where illegal aliens ended up and that those same illegal aliens came from, or went through, countries where tuberculosis is at a high rate.
The good news is that with proper treatment, most American children infected will eventually recover and it won't take much longer than nine months. With proper antibiotic treatments. The ones who die will suffer an long agonizing death, that is true, but most of those kids cannot vote yet anyways.
Yes, I have to blame Trump and RFK for this, too. -

the outbreak was caused by MAGA Texas Christians, dum dum:
Blamed for the nation’s historic measles outbreak, West Texas Mennonites have hardened their views on vaccines
Months after public health officials say they caused the nation’s largest measles surge in 30 years, some West Texas Mennonites have grown more skeptical of the mainstream medical system.

SEMINOLE — When Anita Froese’s middle daughter came down with fatigue, body aches and the tell-tale sign of measles — strawberry-colored spots splattered across her skin — she waited it out. Two days later, her son developed the same symptoms. After a week, the disease finally reached her youngest daughter, who vomited all night as her fever spiked to 104.
Froese never brought her children to a doctor. Instead, she administered cod liver oil, vitamins, tea and broth. She refreshed their cold compresses and ran them epsom salt baths. She brought them to a holistic health center for an IV treatment used for heavy metal poisoning.
None of her kids are fully vaccinated against measles. She stopped immunizing her first two as infants after hearing stories about others who had bad reactions to the shots, and she approved no shots for her third. Even as an outbreak ripped through her community, Froese preferred that her children contract measles to build natural immunity because to her, measles was on par with the flu.
“It seemed like this was a disease that had come up now and was this big deal,” said Froese, who was vaccinated as a child. “To me, that wasn’t the case.”
But outside of the West Texas town of 7,000, health experts watched in horror as the once-dormant disease spread like a drop of blood in water across Seminole and the outlying counties, hitting at least three other states and breaching international borders. It killed two children, both Mennonites like Froese. It sickened at least 762 Texans — more than half of whom live in Seminole’s Gaines County — and hospitalized 99 statewide. The West Texas outbreak was the nation’s largest in more than 35 years.
But for the Mennonites at the center of it, the scrutiny was worse than the disease itself. Today, Froese and others say they’re no more likely to get vaccinated, and they’re even less trusting of the government and health officials who they feel targeted them and blamed them for causing the outbreak.
Mennonites questioned why measles forced their religious community into the national spotlight. They didn’t know why TV crews clamored to film them grieving little girls who they believed died from underlying conditions or negligent hospitals rather than measles. They didn’t understand the messages from outsiders demanding they leave the country for exercising their right to not vaccinate.
“You’re looked at as this ignorant people that’s almost fueling this thing, like we’re having measles parties, and that was never the case,” said Pastor Jake Fehr of Mennonite Evangelical Church.
Vaccine hesitancy has been brewing for the last 20 years among Mennonites, a cloistered Christian sect with a historical distrust in government. Pandemic-era mandates brought that to a boil in Seminole’s Mennonite community and across Texas.
The religious group is a microcosm of the distrust in vaccines gripping the state. Twice as many Texas parents exempted their kindergartners from measles vaccines this year compared to five years ago, with Gaines County among the highest at almost 20% of its kindergartners being exempt, compared to the state average of less than 4%. Seminole’s vaccination rate is likely far lower when it includes the Mennonites who are homeschooled.
Among the world’s most infectious diseases, measles causes rash and flu-like symptoms and was for many years rare in the U.S. because of widespread vaccination. Especially in young children, measles can cause complications like blindness, brain swelling and even death. Two doses of the measles vaccine are 97% effective at avoiding the disease, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Texas health officials declared the outbreak over in August — ending an event Froese thinks was inflated from the start.
“I know of plenty of people that had measles when they were children, and they all survived,” Froese said. “To me, that was a risk I was willing to take.”

As measles tore through his community last winter, John Peters, 54, feared the disease was causing his pallor, ringing ears, body pain and fatigue.
In April, after his Mennonite mettle crumbled against his wife’s demand that he seek help, he finally saw a doctor.
He didn’t have measles. He had leukemia.
Peters got seven blood transfusions in a week, and six more over the next three months. W -

That's some fine copying and pasting, Lou!
It's not the illegal aliens from third world countries coming into America spreading what had previously been wiped out disease.
These diseases just suddenly appeared from nowhere.
And let's blame Trump for that.
And Kennedy.
Your logic is just as impressive as Stacey Abrams' waistline. -
