A packed migrant shelter in Chicago with over 1,800 residents (including 95 children two years old and younger) is experiencing a measles outbreak that has prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to dispatch a team to help battle the outbreak. The team is expected to arrive on Tuesday. Two children and two adults have been diagnosed with measles in the past few days. One child has recovered, the other is in the hospital in good condition. The two adults, diagnosed Monday, are reported in stable condition. A fifth unrelated case popped up elsewhere in Chicago last week.
A mass vaccination effort took place at the Pilsen migrant shelter over the weekend with about 900 migrants getting the MMR vaccine. Approximately 700 migrants were assessed as having already been vaccinated or exposed to measles and were not required to be quarantined. Some unvaccinated migrants reportedly broke quarantine and left the shelter, according to a statement by Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Olusimbo ‘Simbo’ Ige, MD, MPH:
“We have advised all unvaccinated and newly vaccinated residents of the quarantine period (21 days) but some of those residents have left the shelter, and I want to acknowledge that,” Dr. Ige said. “That is why we so strongly advise the unvaccinated to get the vaccine and to immediately quarantine if you have had contact with anyone with measles.”

I had measles in 1st grade and chicken pox in 3rd grade as a kid. It was no big deal....................
Welcome to your new third world country.
If the wokies don’t come to their senses and if intelligent, rational, morally unconfused people to not nullify the bad judgment of the wokies, we’re going to see outbreaks of far worse diseases than measles.
I had measles when I was 4 and my brother was 5. Mom kept us quarantined together. I think we were both pretty sick for several days, maybe 3 or 4. I remember we slept a lot, and had to have the curtains in the windows the whole day long, because the light hurt my eyes.
I didn’t get chickenpox until I was 25, and my grade school aged nephew gave it to me when I came home for Christmas. My younger sister caught them, too, so I guess neither of us had them when we were kids and mom thought we’d all had them.
An open question (about to be answered) is whether or not the current opinion that two doses of measles vaccine, administered in childhood, confer protection into late middle age and beyond, is correct.
It appears that natural measles infection confers lifelong immunity, there is no evidence to the contrary.
But unlike (most) people who had natural measles when it was prevalent, vaccinated people were never re-exposed by their own children and grandchildren, in effect, boosted and re-boosted until their own grandchildren were grown.
Thanks to the “Biden” administration, there will soon be twns of thousands of cases of natural measles spreading in urban areas and other places where illegals have been sent.
It’s going to be an interesting experiment.
I would guess this is only a surge in cases due to the illegals catching measles.
However, someone who studied the spread of new contagions into countries——Dr.Michael Weiner (Michael Savage) said may epidemics started with migrants.
He holds a master’s degree in medical botany and a second in medical anthropology. And a PhD in epidemiology from U of California, Berkeley. Wrote a number of nutrition and health books before turning to political topics.
I remember barely having the measles. I had a fever, and being raised by my Grandfather, living way out in rural Mississippi, he relied on old folk remedies for ‘healthcare’.
Our county was a ‘dry county’ so no alcohol could be purchased, but we were close to a wet county. He sent word to a neighbor that had a car (he didn’t and never did drive) to go a purchase a beer. I remember it was a Schlitz. They gave me some to drink to ‘break the fever’. I was probably 6 years old at the time. I thought it tasted awful. But it apparently worked.
That is probably why I never really developed a taste for alcohol................
Too late. CDC should have been at the border where the disease actually came it. It doesn’t do any good now that these illegal slags have infested every part of our society now
The issue calls not for DCD action, but for Chicago to quit its sanctuary city policies and for Biden to allow ICE to do what ICE is supposed to do - remove illegals from the country.
Leave them alone. Don’t invade their privacy. Let God handle the situation.
Great job Biden. Just how many cases are floating around in the U.S. due to these illegals? What about other contagious diseases like TB and STDs?
About the same for me, plus a round of the mumps. Not at all unusual for kids back in the "old days".
Mumps went around when I was in the 5th grade but I never caught it................
I remember having all those “childhood” diseases.
I was born after 1957 and was told that I could not have had MMR because of the vaccines they had started giving.
I convinced them to draw tigers to check and sure enough, both IgG and IgM antibodies were high. (IgG is the titer that is elevated when you’ve been vaccinated, IgM is elevated if you’ve had the illness)
The doc that said that I could not have had the diseases informed me that “ wow, you had all those illnesses”.
I just looked at him with an l told you so look.
BTTT
I imagine if I’d have tasted a beer when I was that age, I probably wouldn’t like alcohol either.
I’m not much of a beer person. Hubby loves it!
I’ll take rum if given a preference. Whiskey and bourbon are fine, too.
