Health officials are warning that confirmed cases of measles may have spread at this year's National March for Life rally and concert in Washington, D.C.
Thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators converged upon the National Mall and other locations in the nation's capital for the annual event at the end of January. The DC Department of Health says it's working to identify people who are at risk.
"DC Health was notified of multiple confirmed cases of measles whose carriers visited multiple locations in the District while contagious," the agency said in a press release on Sunday. "DC Health is informing people who were at these locations that they may have been exposed."
Measles continues to spread in the US, but with some letup Potential exposure sites from Jan. 21 to Feb. 2 include major transit such as Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Union Station, an Amtrak Northeast Regional train and D.C.'s subway system, according to DC Health. The agency says infected individuals also visited the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Catholic University.
Children's National Hospital issued a public health notice concerning potential exposure in its Emergency Department. The notice said a Virginia resident, who was confirmed to have measles, visited the department while contagious on Feb. 2.
The U.S. is dealing with its biggest measles outbreak in decades. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 733 confirmed measles cases in 20 states so far this year alone, as of last Thursday. According to the CDC, 95% of the cases involved people who are unvaccinated or their vaccination status is unknown.
South Carolina's outbreak started in October 2025 and quickly surpassed an outbreak in Texas. Cases in South Carolina continue to grow. The Department of Public Health reported 44 new confirmed cases on Friday, bringing the total in the state to 920. Earlier last week, officials in the state reported that the rate of new confirmed cases had slowed. They warn that people may have been exposed in this latest round of new cases in several locations, including a Target store in Taylors, S.C., and the Social Security Administration in Spartanburg, S.C. The outbreak is centered in Spartanburg.
In an interview on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz urged Americans to receive measles vaccinations. In recent months, the Trump administration has rolled back the number of diseases it recommends immunizations for, but federal guidance for measles immunizations has not changed.
Global health officials are concerned about the spreading of measles in the United States. The World Health Organization's Pan American Health Organization has invited the U.S. to meet in April to review the country's measles elimination status. The U.S. is in danger of losing its status as a country that has eradicated the disease. The Trump administration said it formally completed its withdrawal from the WHO last month.
D.C.'s Health Department is advising anyone possibly exposed who is not fully vaccinated or has a compromised immune system to contact the health department or health care provider.
NPR hopes so. They are trash.
Oh, okay, sure.
But, absolutely NO measles or ANY OTHER communicable diseases were spread at the Minneapolis AntiFah Ice riots.
Got it.
These dummies are so lame with their fearp0rn.
Bio warfare on prolifers?
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to learn that ‘They’ intentionally spread the virus.

Where’s the nearest CHINESE BIO LAB?
Exactly. Just like how covid spread at church gatherings but never at George Floyd protests.
Underwhelmed by the fear. When I was a kid, everyone got the measles.
I certainly hope not.
That wouldn’t be the least bit surprising at all.
That tells us all we need to know.
That’s my guess
Big time.
The fake lamestream medias (CNN, MSNBC, MSN...) thought processes on this.......... “We don't want people, the little people, the average people, the sheeple to be hostile to the poor migrants.....” ~ THIS should scare the shit out of everyone. In the news January 2, 2019. Ebola outbreak in Congo surpasses 600 cases amid more violence Dec. 4, 2025 Ebola Outbreak in the DRC: Current Situation Ebola Outbreaks happen almost every other year or so. ~ **How far is Africa from the US by plane?** This air travel distance is equal to 8,945 miles. **How long is the flight time from the Africa to the USA?** Non-stop flight time from Johannesburg, South Africa to New York is around 16 hours 15 minutes. The Kinshasa Capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo flight time to Johannesburg, South Africa's non stop is around 4 hours 15 minutes. **Total 20 hours and 30 minutes...(Lets round up to 24 hours.)** #The Ebola incubation period, or the time interval from infection to onset of symptoms, is from 2 to 21 days. People are not contagious until they develop symptoms. An infected person could realistically be in NYC in 24 hours if all the lights were green, EBOLA incubates from 2 to 21 DAYS before it is infectious. Just how far can they worm their way in to a city, a state the east coast, the west coast where ever before they start infecting others? A homeless camp here a bus station there an air port. One gets to good old Mexico and mingles with a thousand or so deserving dreaming ms-13 un accompanied minors. You do the math.
Nearly all of the initial measles outbreaks originated in Mormon communities located in Utah, Arizona, and West Texas, and Hassidic communities in New York, where vaccination rates are low.
Labyrinthos... You didn’t want to mention the other places that the had measles outbreaks, whooping cough outbreaks and even bedbug outbreaks occurring?
Wow did you even read the post?
It’s happened in NYC, at colleges, air ports and so on. And you didn’t mention Ebola, why not?
The UN medically screened Criminal Illegal Aliens are a threat to our economy as well as our very lives because of the diseases they bring when they crawl across our boarders.
And here we have you standing on your hind leg’s proclaiming it’s the Amish and other non vaxed people, like the cranks in karen coven country wide. in NY, Ca, NV who wont vax their newborns are the problem.
Don’t look at the Criminals Illegal Allen Scum oh no they, even tho all they want is easy money they are morally superior to everybody else......so that we should be thankful for any of the diseases they infect....share with us.
And yet, we have barely made a dent in their numbers from deportation and crime has dropped to levels no seen snice the 1900. God willing we will see a drop in they filthy gifts as well.
As to you.
You are a classic unilateral moron, a dumbass and I mean that in all honesty, you have no idea what going on. But feel you must pick your nit in public rather then in the privacy of your own bathroom. I would tell you to not to vote but I doubt you have a picture ID tho are asylum’s issuing picture ID these days?....Please remember if you do your 5150 stick be a danger to your self first rather then bother other sane people. Mkay.
