Isn't wonderful that our dumba$$ politicians have managed to reinvigorate and spread illnesses that we had beaten, all in the name of illegal immigration?

I don’t want to get too negative here, although, I think this will become common-place in America within a year or so.

Every door handle, bus-stop, public school, restaurant-menu(s), etc., ….. Yep!

Invasions have consequences.

Count on it , so , when it happens you’re not surprised.

“I am Legend” is our future if this continues. I am far from Anarchist and believe in good limited government but I despise this government that we have right now. In a different era,they would be fitted for ropes and trees or long hard confinement and labor.

I guess, if you were a kid prior to the general release of a measles vaccine in 1963.

Why It Took So Long to Eliminate Measles

Until the vaccine’s debut in 1963, many considered measles, which still killed 500 Americans a year and hospitalized 48,000, an inevitable childhood disease that everyone had to suffer through.

...

Deaths were greatest in populations with no immunity, such as island nations. An 1875 outbreak in Fiji wiped out up to a third of the population in four months, and Hawaii’s first outbreak in 1848 similarly killed up to a third of the population, just two decades later the king and queen contracted it and died on a trip to England.

...

Even surviving a measles infection didn’t end your risk of death: a very rare, fatal complication called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) could develop one to two decades later, causing gradual deterioration until the person entered a coma and eventually died.

Today, measles and TB.

Tomorrow, Ebola.

Well, Ebola may already be here since two who were monitored at the border were among those who escaped the BP compound in April and weren’t returned. Sure, without treatment, they’d already be dead but doubt their deaths would be reported and especially not of they died in the middle of nowhere. It probably wasn’t Ebola but it’s just a matter of time.

German measles isn’t the same as measles.

Look up the difference. Multiple articles on internet. One is severe vs. one being almost benign.
