Chicago Measles Cases Rise as Illegal Aliens Show Up With Tuberculosis
Measles are popping up in the suburbs.
Leslie has California. I have Illinois.
The glorious city of Chicago has 53 measles cases…as of now.
The city claimed the illegal aliens didn’t cause the measles outbreak. But then health officials traced the outbreak to an illegal alien shelter.
Chicago had more than half of the reported measles cases in the U.S.
Oh, new arrivals have brought tuberculosis.
53 Cases
Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck, Cook County Department of Public Health chief operating officer, thinks the cases will keep rising…but those will expand outside of Cook County:
“Thankfully, there hasn’t been a new infection for the last four days. But we really can’t predict where it’s going to go at this point.”
Asked if infections will top the current count, Hasbrouck said, “if I had to predict … I don’t think we’ll stop at 53. And, we’ll probably see more of what I’m going to call ‘imported cases’ into other surrounding collar counties as migrants begin to move out and settle into communities.”
Measles has popped up in suburban Cook, Lake, and Will counties.
Chicago vaccinated over 5,000 illegal aliens. Herd immunity will help, too. But still.
Children aged four and younger make up almost 60% of the patients in Chicago.
Chicago ‘Mystified’ Over Measles Outbreak
Laugh. Out. Loud.
Illinois is supposedly mystified over the spike in measles cases.
On March 28, Chicago Health Commissioner Olusimbo Ige insisted that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was wrong about the illegals bringing measles to Chicago:
“New arrivals didn’t bring measles to Chicago. It was circulating here, and they are vulnerable to it because many come from countries where they didn’t receive the vaccinations we in the United States do, and they’re living in congregate settings where it can spread more easily,” Ige said. “We’re now doing the hard work to contain that spread.”
However, the city only said the first case came from a non-shelter resident.
And since then, report after report linked the measles outbreak to the Pilsen shelter.
Chicago has over 50% of the measles cases in the U.S.:
Chicago remains the national leader in measles cases with more than 50% of the U.S. cases, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced 97 confirmed cases on Friday. There were 58 measles cases in all of 2023.
This year’s cases have been reported in 18 jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia, the CDC reported. Seven states have reported outbreaks, whic is defined as three or more cases and the agency said that 72% of the national cases are linked to outbreaks.
By comparison, four outbreaks were reported in 2023 and 48 cases were outbreak-related.
Three cases have also been linked to suburban counties in Illinois, bringing the state’s caseload to 55.
Tuberculosis
Officials have also detected tuberculosis among illegal aliens in Chicago. But they’re trying to downplay it. Only a “few” cases and no one revealed the number of cases.
No one identified the illegal alien shelter too.
Goodness, people. NO ONE should have tuberculosis in America in 2024:
The health department could not share exactly how many cases were found or identify shelters. But the department said there haven’t been any reports of TB in the city from an exposure to migrants positive for the infection.
TB cases pop up in Chicago each year, with about 100-150 infections detected annually, said Jacob Martin, a spokesperson for the health department. Because of that, the health department needs to sort through its data to figure out which cases are new arrivals and which are other city residents. Those numbers will be made public once that analysis is complete.
“I would not characterize this as an outbreak,” Martin said. “It’s relatively inline with what we expect to see.”
Then why don’t you tell us the numbers and which shelters? Why so secretive? Both of those are rhetorical questions. We know the answers.
Thank goodness doctors can cure tuberculosis with antibiotics.

Our president is a damn fool I hope we make it till November
More likely, he is so senile he has no idea what is going on around him while the people behind the curtain pull levers.
Or, he really IS an evil bastard.
Nothing so dramatic. He’s just a spavined, lifelong political hack who does whatever is in his own personal interest.
He’s always been an idiot. Then he had his brain issues, and now advanced dementia. He’s a full-blown mental retard at this point.
Both.
Actually TB has a strain that is so drug resistant that if it takes off, we are all screwed.
President Trump was right, illegals coming from shitholes
And our Government won’t protect us
😢

FYI: If you bother to look this happens every time SA thinks a liberal is 9in power.
>>The glorious city of Chicago has 53 measles cases…as of now.<<
From one case in a shelter for illegals to 53 across the city in no time at all. I'd say at this point Chicago health officials have already lost control of the situation and it’s only going to get worse from here on out. Not only in Chicago, but across the nation. But that’s what happens when you allow millions of illegals into our country without any effective medical screening procedures (or any other kind of screening for that matter) and then ship them wholesale across the country. So expect this to get much worse because it certainly isn’t going to get any better. That’s for sure.
When the meat puppet brings there here, here becomes there.
It’s almost like we should screen those who cross our borders… nah, that’s crazy talk!
Yet another reason to avoid sanctuary cities like the plague, so to speak.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, If you think an outbreak of measles is bad just wait until the cases of drug resistant tuberculosis start spreading in the cities where large numbers of illegals are congregating and across the U.S. . It wasn’t known as “Consumption” for nothing back in the day.
Yes indeed, the TB outbreak has the potential to be a huge problem.
Just keep it in the major cities where it can spread and wipe out that population.
I’m wondering why their “super-gonorrhea” is the one “health affirmation” that China ISN’T exporting over here. That would really take out the trash.
Where’s my “I did this” Brandon stickers I’ve been slapping on gas pumps..
Thanks, Brandon
Illegal aliens not being property screened for health conditions under open borders biden policies?
“However, the city only said the first case came from a non-shelter resident.”
The guy least afraid to go see a doctor.
This crap would end if Biden and his administration was removed along with removing ALL WEF controlled UN influence. Once all the jackoffs supporting the invasion are gone, kick the invaders out and secure ALL the borders.
To Democrats and other Leftists ANY plagues imported by the hostile foreign invaders are a gift to the country in that it will reduce the native population. Said Leftists also believe that being so superior to that native population that they are naturally immune to consequences in this as they believe they are immune to consequences in everything.
First measles, now TB; by the time of the Democrat Convention there will almost surely be another plague that can use the delegates as vectors too.
Subotai Bahadur
Which, along with encouraging behaviors that inhibit reproduction, strongly suggests that reducing the population is “the plan” as much as any plan beyond next week exists in the actions of the progressives.
