The World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Wednesday that measles is rapidly spreading in multiple regions across the world.
They agencies blamed the resurgence of measles on a decrease in childhood vaccination during COVID-19 and less monitoring of the illness, Reuters reported.
Measles is considered extremely contagious and only preventable among a population if there is a 95 percent vaccination rate.
There were around 40 million children who did not get a measles vaccine in 2021 because of increased difficulties in accessing medical treatments during COVID, the WHO and the CDC said in a joint statement.
The agencies warned that action needs to be taken immediately to prevent a global problem.
It is assumed that multiple factors have kept measles rates from increasing to historic levels, including the continuation of social distancing and the cycling nature of the disease.

The sky is falling. The Dems won’t have a pretext for ballot harvesting in 2024. To them, that’s the sky falling.
Now with the outbreak, they will be vaccinating every child 6 months and older. Normally pediatricians don’t give vaccinations for live vaccines like the Measles vaccine til after a child reaches 1 year old. In an outbreak, they will vaccinate infants 6 months to 11 months as well. The main caveat to vaccinating early is that the immunity probably won’t last as long. As a consequence any Measles vaccinations given before the ate of 12 months do not count towards the lifetime vaccine requirement. That means those children will still need 2 vaccinations after the age of 1. The second one normally comes between the ages of 4 and 7.
It’s standard, but due to antivaxxers, there are large numbers of children unvaccinated against Measles.
Until the vax mandate and the screwing around with reporting adverse incidents, “anti-vaxxers” who had a problem with vaccines generally were isolated weirdos. One is my grandson’s other grandpa. I’d venture that because of the mandate, adherents to this older form of anti-vaxxing now has many new adherents. Thanks a lot, Brandon, Brandeau.
Did buttpox vanish, or has it become unPC to mention it?
Interesting stats that are coming out from the cdc and being printed in the WP
Sept 21 Vax’ed were 23% of CV deaths
Jan/Feb ‘22 vax’ed made up 42% of CV deaths
Aug ‘22 vax’ed made up 58% of Covid deaths
The WP article requires signing up. But, here’s the info via a different source

He ended up traveling to Ukraine at the age of almost 19 months. He was enjoying himself with new friends in Odessa, but then Putin ratcheted up the threats against Ukraine. My wife and son ended up having to escape from Ukraine on the third day of the war.
Is that recent. Or are you referring to RSV? Kids immune systems are weaker right now because they’ve been very sheltered for 2 years. Every cold/respiratory virus is going to be problematic if we keep on the way we’re going.
I had zero immune system after my bone marrow transplant and got RSV and they told me ‘it’s just an everyday cold virus’. I did end up with pneumonia. But again , I was more fragile than a new born. Had I been normal, it would have been a non issue. Kids immune systems are weak right now. Not good.
Oh geez, I’m sorry. I was on a Covid thread earlier and confused the threads. Thank you.
Do you know if those getting sick were vax’ed or not. I don’t have an issue with the mmr although I wish they’d split them up into 3 different ones and space them apart for kids.
Btw, I had to get completely revaccinated with all of the childhood vaccines 1.5 years after my bone marrow transplant. As you can imagine .. . I got A LOT more than when I was a kid.
We’re about to find out just how much damage the potentially lethal Fauci Flu “vaccines” have done to the developing immune system of infants and young children whose unbelievably dumb parents subjected them to this horrible experiment conducted by some very evil, inhumane people in the name of “science” … more accurately, “political science”.
I’m curious as to how many of those getting measles came over across the southern border illegally
Gee
Measles must have gone to the same secluded vacation spot the flu did for the last 3 years
and is now back .
No! Measles is a DNA virus not an RNA virus. It has a much lower mutation rate. The vaccine for Measles lasts a lifetime with about 97% efficacy against symptomatic disease for those who have 2 doses. Even those who might get symptoms after exposure tend to have light cases. The problem is that many children missed their normal schedule of vaccinations during the COVID pandemic. There are now enough unvaccinated young children for the most easily transmitted viral disease known to medical science, that it is now possible to sustain outbreaks of Measles among unvaccinated infants and toddlers.
The vaccine against Measles is highly effective. The MMR is normally given in 2 doses, one at the age of 1 year and the other at 4 to 7 years. The CDC used to think that only 1 dose was needed for lifetime immunity. Unfortunately it was learned in the 1980’s that some people don’t get enough immunity after just 1 dose at the age of 1 year.
There was an El Al female flight attendant in her early 40’s who got Measles from exposure at work in April 2019. She had had the WHO recommended 1 MMR vaccination when she was a year old back in the late 1970’s. Unfortunately she did not get the second MMR dose recommended after a serious outbreak of Measles in the late 1980’s. In 1991 WHO and CDC recommended a second dose of MMR. I got an additional dose in 1989, because I was living in Houston where there were several thousand cases, so I have the now recommended second dose. Anyway the flight attendant went into a coma in Apri 2019, never regained consciousness, and died in August 2019. As a result of her case of Measles, El Al required all their flight crew to get another dose and set up a vaccination clinic at their hub in Tel Aviv. in short Measles is not a minor disease. It needs to be prevented with very effective vaccines.
I suppose it’s easier to just get another mmr. But, titers can be checked. That’s what they did for me.
I have since read that people who got killed Measles vaccines as children were actually at higher risk of getting pneumonia if they later got Measles. The CDC and WHO recommendation for those who were vaccinated with killed Measles vaccines is to get 2 doses of the MMR at least 28 days apart.
I'm pretty sure I got an MMR in 1971 when there was a mass vaccination in schools in Texas and other states for Rubella as the vaccine for Rubella had just recently been approved and had very quickly been incorporated into the MMR. I remember reading the materials distributed with the vaccination program. It mentioned that the vaccine also protected against Mumps. I though that was strange since I had had the Mumps 4 years earlier. I have far superior immunity to Mumps than the vaccine gives. Anyway if I were a young adult who only had protection against the Mumps from MMR vaccinations, I just might want to consider getting a third MMR upon graduation from high school or entry into college. The Mumps component seems to be the weakest link in the MMR. Lots of young adults get Mumps in college, sports teams, or the military even though they have been vaccinated as children. Fortunately they seem to get milder cases than people who have never been vaccinated. That's a good thing, because immunologically naive adults who get Mumps often get swelling in the gonads.
Mumps can actually cause sterility especially in males. That happened to my father's brother. Both my father and his brother got Mumps at the same time, but my father was only 4 while his brother was 18. From what I've been told it was horribly painful in addition to leaving him sterile.
Or how many passed by someone from across the border who’s camped out on Maine Street in their town.
