(From the source):" City health officials reported 57 “confirmed cases” and that most of the cases have turned up across its migrant shelter system. "
"Health officials also say that some residents may have been exposed to the disease on city mass transit bus and train lines,
as well as various stores, clinics, and schools."
These 57 cases, mostly among the illegal border crossers being sheltered in Chicago’s migrant housing,
rivals the number of measles cases reported in the entire country for 2023.
Last year only 58 cases were seen in the whole of the U.S. (Emphasis mine)
However, there were 121 cases listed in 2022, according to WMAQ-TV.
But this year, the outbreak has exploded.
As the report notes, “As of Feb. 29, a total of 41 measles cases were reported in 16 U.S. states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York City, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.”
"These numbers do not include the new cases in Chicago. Cases of measles have been relatively sparse in the U.S. for decades
and the disease has been generally considered eliminated since the year 2000, meaning it does not present a meaningful threat across the country
and is generally seen only when someone brings the disease in from outside the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control. "
"Still, the CDC has issued a warning about the disease in an alert titled, “Increase in Global and Domestic Measles Cases and Outbreaks.”

Of course, if children had not been vaccinated against measles for years, measles would be nothing. Only because kids were vaxed, and of course the vax immunity is mostly worn off by now, adults who were vaxed as children can get measles. Which in adults can be a more serious disease. I got measles as a child along with every other child in those days. A few days of misery, big deal. Ill-informed people screech “But chidlren died from mealses!!!” Yea, about 3 a year. How many die from vaccines every year? At least that many or more.
Vaxing children has been a horrible mistake, what to speak of the huge increase in autism.
