One death! OMG! Mandatory vaccination$$$ for everyone. Lock down everything!

I wonder if it would be happening if FJB hadn't told umpteen million illegals to "surge the border?"

You want to treat the symptom instead of the cause.

Figures.

94% white county, not particularly close to the border.

Texas health officials reported that measles was spreading among an insular religious community in Gaines County, Texas, where nearly 14 percent of schoolchildren have an exemption (granted in some states for reasons of conscience, including for religious beliefs) from the required childhood vaccinations. There will be more cases in Texas in this outbreak than the last 5 years combined for the whole country. The cause is lack of vaccination.

You must be so excited to have a measles outbreak to demagogue!

I am so happy for you!
