The U.S. declared the measles eliminated in 2000.
Do you remember what happened around that time? A bogus report went viral claiming the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism. Celebrities like Jenny McCarthy screamed against the vaccines, influencing people not to vaccinate their children.
We had a measles outbreak in 2019.
Then we had the COVID vaccine forced on us, causing more hesitancy regarding vaccines.
It wasn’t just the hesitancy. The COVID restrictions meant kids couldn’t get their vaccines! Absolute insanity. 22 million children missed their vaccinations.
Then, former President Joe Biden opened the borders, allowing people who likely never had a vaccine to swarm our country.
Well, a CNN tally found over 1,000 measles cases, the worst in 25 years.
Unfortunately, the number might be way more because some cases go unreported:
More than 1,000 measles cases have been reported in the United States in 2025, according to a CNN tally. This is only the second year cases have been this high since the disease was declared eliminated in the US a quarter-century ago, and a large multistate outbreak continues to grow, putting the nation on track for what could be the worst year since 2000.At least 1,002 cases have been reported this year as of Wednesday, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments compiled by CNN. The vast majority of these cases – more than 800 – are associated with an outbreak centered in West Texas that has expanded to New Mexico, Oklahoma and possibly Kansas. Additional cases are expected to be reported from some of these states Friday.
Vaccinate your children with the proven vaccines! No one should be coming down with the measles in 2025.
Yes, ask your doctor for more information about vaccines. Even ask them to space them out because I admit they give too many at one time, especially on babies.
Just don’t lump these proven vaccines in with the COVID or flu shots. They’re completely different.
A CDC spokesperson told The Texas Tribune that the agency considers the cases in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas as a single outbreak.
The three states have over 750 confirmed cases.
Texas alone has over 700 reported cases since January. Out of those cases, “over 90 patients have been hospitalized, and two school-aged children have died, the first measles deaths in a decade in the country.”
According to CNN, only 4% of hospitalized patients had one MMR vaccine shot.
Except for 2019, the U.S. averaged 180 reported measles cases.
CNN also reported that the CDC “has stopped providing details on the specific number of cases in each state, and its national total does not always capture the latest updates from states” in its weekly measles reports.
Not good. Give us all the data. This isn’t COVID.
Measles is a dangerous virus, especially for young children and adults over 20. Obviously, it is also hazardous for the elderly, diabetics, and those with weakened immune systems.
It is one of the most contagious viruses. Symptoms usually don’t show up until “eight to 12 days after initial exposure to the virus.”
