Nearly 200 immigrants are suffering from mumps at detention facilities across Texas, according to a state health agency. The Texas Department of State Health Services says 178 detainees had confirmed cases of mumps as of Feb. 21. Another five cases were reported among detention facility employees. Texas detention centers account for 76 percent of mumps cases at such facilities nationwide, according to federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.Lara Anton, a spokeswoman for the Department of State Health Services, said in an email that patients range in age from 13 to 66, and that “there has been no reported transmission to the community.”...“You don’t need to be in the facility to know the conditions in there are not quite sanitary and are not equipped to deal with disease,” Caracostis said. “These are contagious diseases; they thrive in places where there’s no proper sanitary management.”...“It tells me the isolation and quarantine efforts are not being done as diligently as it could be done,” Persse said.

it isn’t just males affected by the mumps.

The virus affects the covering of the brain and covering of the ovaries too.

And cue the knobs who target these articles to blame the anti-vaxxers for outbreaks in 3, 2, 1...

Its not antivaxer isue. Its imported exotic strain diseases brought in and not turned away, by illegals and other immigrants.

Reports of a breakout of mumps in PA today. I am sick and fkg tired of this crap. We eradicated this disease decades ago! One primary responsibility of the federal government is to protect citizens. And they refuse!!

I don’t trust any news source reporting from Austin TX, as it most always has a far left liberal spin!

America suffers from these imported sicknesses, school costs, welfare, property damage, cultural rot and murders for one reason, the benefit of one political party and their camp followers. D@mn them all to hell.

Bill Clinton told his girlfriends that he was sterile from having mumps as a child... and that’s why Chelsea looks like Hubble.
