I don’t think illegal aliens are forcing parents not to vaccinate their children.

Look at CDC numbers between 2012-2014...its not about vaccinations...its about the impact of the surge of illegals. Around 50 cases in 2012... and now 644 in 2014.

Measles has a 21-day incubation period, meaning people can travel far before they know they’re sick.

Like Central America???

“We’re seeing the resurgence of measles because a lot of the parents are not getting their children vaccinated,”

BS

It’s a dual problem that creates a big one.

Unimmunized hosts are like dry leaves in a forest. The green (vaccinated folk) won’t burn and the dry won’t burst into flames without cause. The illegal is just the discarded cigarette butt, unwatched campfire, etc etc. Once the dry leaves get burning the green follows.

The solution is to vaccinate your children.

The elephant in the room that NONE dare to mention is that the illegals come from countries that have pi$$ poor, practically non-existent vaccination programs.

The don’t have to force parents not to vaccinate, they just tell them to head norte, the gringos will do it gratis.

That SoCal is practically overrun with illegals and that these same illegals now outnumber our own citizen children in many schools, are in clinics, government offices, etc. doesn’t compute with you?

Another disease that the US medical system had practically eradicated begins a stunning comeback...

Guess we’ll just have to pay more to vaccinate illegals at the border.

The Measles Vaccination Rate in The United States is 91%

The Measles Vaccination Rate in Mexico is 89%

Now, pease explain the mathematics behind illegal aliens being responsible for this Measles outbreak.

They need to be very sure that this outbreak is of “standard” measles. Measles is caused by a paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus. Other species in the genus include canine distemper. Many members of the genus cause disease.

If this is a different strain of measles, it could be different enough to not be affected by the typical vaccine.

Just as bad, if it is still the “standard” virus, that runs its course in the typical way, it might be a drug resistant form, resistant to the one antiviral drug that could be used for those with immune deficiency or a particularly bad case of the disease (even though it has not been approved by the FDA for that use.)

Measles symptoms begin about 8 to 12 days after coming in contact with someone who is infected. A person with measles can spread the virus to others from one to two days before any symptoms begin (or three to five days before the rash) to four days after the rash appears.

A final note: Do not use aspirin in children with measles because of the risk of developing a rare liver and brain problem called Reye’s syndrome.

In Mexico, 89% of kids are vaccinated for Measles.
