Two Americans dead from measles in Pennsylvania — first deaths in state in 35 years: health department
NY Post ^ | 8/25/26 | Reuters

Two Pennsylvania residents have died due to measles, health officials said ​on Tuesday, the first such deaths in the ​state in 35 years, with 393 cases of ⁠the disease reported across 28 counties so far in ​2026.

Both people were unvaccinated residents of Lancaster County, according to ​the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which did not release additional details, citing privacy concerns.

“Because measles was largely eliminated in the Commonwealth for ​more than three decades, people are not familiar with ​this disease and don’t fully understand the potential severity of the ‌illness,” ⁠said Secretary of Health Debra Bogen.

Measles has surged in the United States this year, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting 2,777 confirmed cases ​nationwide as of ​August 20.

The ⁠overall 2026 figures represent the highest number of U.S. cases in a single ​year since a major resurgence of the ​highly ⁠contagious disease in the period between 1989 and 1991, with more than 55,000 infections and 123 deaths.

Amish do not get vaccinated. But I’m betting immigrants brought it in.

“​the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which did not release additional details, citing privacy concerns.”

The dead have no privacy rights. Definitely illegal aliens. The cover up is the proof.

They didn’t consume sufficient amounts of immunizing scrapple.

(P.S. One painful aspect of moving to TX is that no one sells Habersett’s scrapple, and ordering it is prohibitively expensive. In FL it was carried by Publix and some local stores.)

saturation coverage by the msm for these two cases, of course. meanwhile big pharma kills millions every year, with no coverage whatsoever.

let me guess: just as with the wuflu, we probably have two elderly, very sick patients with several comorbidities (not reported of course) who happen to get measles on top of all that and die. the estimate of folks who died of just wuflu with no other *apparent* comorbidities was 6% according to the CDC. of course that study was buried too.

At that age, even if you’re vaccinated, a depleted immune system may still render you vulnerable to the illness. I had bern vaccinated for pneumonia, but my immune system is so weak that I still contracted it (viral). It was a rough month recovering.

I don’t bother with vaccines at all now, period. I react harshly to them and have passed out after being given flu vaccines, and the COVID one was by far the worst. I had the one and will never have another.

Like everybody of my generation, I am a measles survivor.
Believe me, it was no worse than a flu.
Come to think about it, some people die of flu.

Remember how the flu disappeared during CoupFlu?

Well, bet it’s just as easy to make something appear.

Especially when one considers the changes made to death certificates and medical examiners since CoupFlu.

Per AI, sourced to CIDRAP...

“Recent U.S. Measles Deaths

2026: 2 deaths (reported in Pennsylvania)

2025: 3 deaths (reported in Texas and New Mexico)

2010–2024: Zero to very few isolated deaths in most years”

end should have included not a Md. man, but an illegal alien that was reportedly an MS13 gangbanger who was commiting crimes in this naton. Not sure why that didn’t show up.

Surprisingly, when RFK’s office investigated this claim, it couldn’t be corroborated. Most likely it’s a made-up story to throw shade on PDJT’s administration.

If they’re so bajiggity about two (alleged) cases of measles, they wouldn’t have imported millions of creatures from shithole countries crawling with medieval-era diseases.

“Probably Amish, they dont get vaccinated.”

And they didn’t get Covid. Go figure.

There is a study called "Closed but Not Protected: Excess Deaths Among the Amish and Mennonites During the COVID-19 Pandemic" at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8195242/">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8195242/ From the abstract:

“Excess deaths” is a means to estimate the lethality of COVID-19 (directly and indirectly). Assessing “excess death” in closed religious communities provides information on how COVID-19 impacted these communities. We use obituary information published in an Amish/Mennonite newspaper to examine excess death among the Amish/Mennonites in 2020. Our results indicate the Amish/Mennonite excess death rates are similar to the national trends in the USA. The excess death rate for Amish/Mennonites spiked with a 125% increase in November 2020.
