U.S. Reaches Over 2,000 Measles Cases as 2 Airports Detect Cases Over Holidays
A person with measles was detected at the Boston and Newark airports.
No one, absolutely no one, should have the measles in America in 2025.
“As of December 23, 2025, a total of 2,012 confirmed* measles cases were reported in the United States,” reported the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC detected 1,988 cases in these states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, New York State, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and, Wyoming.
International visitors make up 24 cases.
The U.S. has had 50 outbreaks in 2025, with “87% of confirmed cases (1,760 of 2,012) are outbreak-associated.”
Of those people, 93% did not have the MMR vaccine, or it is unknown whether they have it.
3% had received one dose of the MMR vaccine, while 4% had received two doses.
However, you honestly cannot blame HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. because Canada is way worse, as Leslie wrote in July.
As of December 2025, Canada has had 5,377 measles cases (4,996 confirmed and 381 probable) for the year.”
The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) issued an alert after a passenger from Dallas, TX, passed through Newark and Boston airports with measles.
The man went through the B & C terminals at Newark on December 12.
“Anyone who suspects an exposure or illness should call their local health department or a health care provider BEFORE going to any medical office or emergency department,” NJDOH wrote in a press release. “Special arrangements can be made for evaluation while also protecting other patients and medical staff from possible infection. Please do not visit a medical facility without calling ahead.”
NJDOH warned people they could develop symptoms as late as January 2, 2026.
“Measles symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes, and a rash that usually appears between three and five days after symptoms begin,” warned NJDOH. “The rash usually begins as flat red spots that appear on the face at the hairline and spread downward to the neck, torso, arms, legs, and feet.”
New Jersey hasn’t detected any other cases.
MDPH issued a similar warning.
“On December 11 at 2:39 p.m., the visitor arrived at Boston Logan Airport on American Airlines flight 2384 from Dallas-Fort Worth, TX,” explained MDPH. “The visitor stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston-Westborough in Westborough and departed the state on December 12 via Logan Airport at 9:19 p.m. on JetBlue flight 117 to Las Vegas, NV.”
MDPH alerted people at these locations and times that they could have been exposed:
- Logan Airport Terminal B, Boston, MA, 2:30 p.m.-4:45 p.m., Thursday 12/11
- DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston-Westborough, Westborough, MA, between 3:30 p.m., Thursday 12/11 and 9 p.m., Friday 12/12
- Logan Airport Terminal C, Boston, MA, 6 p.m.-11:30 p.m., Friday 12/12
Massachusetts has not had a measles case in 2025.

Our descent backwards towards the dark age continues………..
Oh. Now I’m curious about the downticks, Come on. Don’t be a coward. Say why.
So I might downvote you, tho I haven’t yet. I would assume (usually a bad thing) you mean not vaccinating and getting measles is like descending to the dark ages?
If that is your opinion, then I would disagree (tho I generally appreciate your comments overall 🙂 ) as the vaccine wasn’t introduced until 1965 or something. It was very unusual to have complications and injuries from measles in healthy children. Even with all the hubbub, we might, if I recall correctly, have had 1 death in that last 24 years or so and likely was a compromised person. Whereas if you believe the mothers I have heard tell stories of significant injuries to a child IMMEDIATELY to soon after a vax given, it is certainly NOT the vaunted 1 in a million. It is also known that typically viruses increase over time in contagion but decrease in virulence. Is our current mutation of measles like the one a few hundred years ago…I doubt it. Some evidence exists of the infection providing some protection from certain cancers, etc
My family of 5, and many friends, all had measles in the “60’s without harm. I think today it falls into the same reasoning for which people take the chickenpox vax – to prevent having to be out of school for 2 weeks while you recover.
By all means, get a vax to prevent if you wish. But I disagree with the whole “greater good” idea. I am the only one who will end up being responsible for my and my family’s health.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply and for not downclicking me…yet.
I think our society in general is degenerating and I’ve felt this way for at least 25 years, I think decreases in vaccination and increases in corresponding disease are a symptom, I too got all the childhood diseases and survived. Chicken pox (twice), german measles, measles, but not mumps. I did get vaccinated for mumps when it became available.
I think vaccines are a good thing. I don’t believe they are ever 100% effective and they also have side effects which is also not surprising. I sense that the medical community doesn’t do a great job advertising the pluses and minuses. We definitely saw this with COVID. To be blunt I’m not sure a good segment of our population would understand them.
Where am I going with this? I do believe families have a right to control their health to a certain extent. I don’t think it’s absolute though. I think the greater good does play a role because we all live in a society where our decisions can and do impact each other. Where does the measles vaccine specifically fall on the spectrum between individual and societies rights and desires,. I don’t know frankly. I’d have to do a lot more study before I venture an opinion even though I am a proponent of vaccinations and have most of mine up to date.
What I will say though is I’m beyond appalled that we let unvaccinated non citizens, whether they be visitors, temporary or permanent guests, illegal or legal into this country. I don’t care what their beliefs are. I expect government to protect me. It’s the basic contract between government and the governed. This protection includes preventing diseased foreigners from possibly infecting me and fellow Americans.
For at least 30 years I’ve watched illegal and likely unvaccinated aliens waltz into this country and government not only ignore them but aid and abet them. This threatens us, It is part of the degeneration of our society that includes many other contributors much of which get discussed on this site on a daily basis. That’s my opinion. Thanks again for reading if you made it this far.
I can generally agree, and definitely about the unvaccinated immigrants. I am not an overseas traveler but do know that at some point certain vaccines were required to enter certain countries – was that for the tourist’s sake or the country’s I am not positive, but it would make sense that some countries had some requirements so why not us. Especially when it seems reasonable that some come from areas with worse health so at least potentially at more risk of endangering us. Certainly since many of the outbreaks have been caused by either illegals or non-citizens entering legally, it is a big issue and I would also love to see it addressed – but I won’t hold my breath. And I appreciate the civil discourse with you. As a long-time “researcher” of this subject before it became somewhat appreciated, I have had a fair share of being blasted by those who are unknowledgeable, …and some just ignorant…present company excluded!
May all have a happy new year!
I thought you were just referring to importing immigrants from the dark ages. (I didn’t thumb you either way.)
Well I wasn’t specifically but it is part of the general degeneration I see in this country, many of its people, and its structures. Then again having reached 70 perhaps I’ve just become a curmudgeon saying it wasn’t like this back in the day, It wasn’t with many things being better and some being not so good but that is just my opinion.
Measles is a nothingburger; there is no reason to fear it, assuming adequate nutrition and no co-morbidities… just like any other mild illness.
Unless, of course, you are a member of the High Church of the Holy Vaccine.
Measles erases immune system memory pretty much giving it a factory reset which sets the patient up for a host of secondary infections that may or may not kill them but will certainly leave them weakened and sickly for a long period of time.
Well, no; you’re repeating propaganda, not fact.
Every one of us who were born in the 40s and 50s got measles; we all survived nicely after a few days staying home from school, and absolutely did not suffer mythical secondary infections which left us with a weakened immune system.
We had as kids, probably still have quite robust immune systems, in fact.
Mortality from measles had ALREADY declined 95% before the introduction of the measles vaccine, due to better nutrition, clean water and good living conditions. Vaccine worship is ill-informed, not to mention dangerous.
I think the point is if you get it as a kid it’s a nothingburger, but if you don’t and later get it as an adult you risk serious problems.
My immune system is compromised due to radiation therapy for cancer. Individuals such as me can not be vaccinated and have a 70% likelihood of death if we contract measles. So, you believe your fear of needles surpasses others the right to live?
Once they made lots of tiny coffins.
Graveyards had children’s sections.
In this age of health, of vaccination and healing too many have forgotten that.
They need to walk the rows of graves, to hear the ghosts of children’s laughter that echo the stolen lives.
But they won’t, because the State has made the feeding of Moloch a sacrament.
Wait for it, Boston’s Mayor (and Chairman) Wu to declare “people with measles have made Boston what it is today.”
When I was a kid, every few years measles would sweep the elementary school and immunize all the kids.
Oh, wow, 2000 measles cases in a country of 340 million.
And oh by the way, Canada has MORE cases than the US despite having a much smaller population.
My first thought was, when I was a kid, 2,000 cases was just one RI county.
already recycling my c19 mask and preparing to watch the cnn crawler on trumps fomenting of our next crisis caused by bad orange man
as far as canada goes
looking to see if katy perry will talk justine back into power
I wore the same one for like 18 months while the fear crap was going on, 2020 and through 2021.
this is just the
shot in the arm

The professional blamers are going after the anti-vaxers…..
I think the problem developing, and not just measles, comes from the unregulated illegal entry over the last 4 years… I would imagine that of that whole crowd of illegal entrants (I refuse to use the term “immigrant” in regard to them) you could not find ten of them with any inoculations for anything.
That is our problem.
“Over 2,000 measles cases reported in the United States in 2025”
The good news is no Somali children were exposed to measles in Somali day care centers—or any other sickness or virus for that matter.
Fearmongers gonna monger fear.
Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, “Come!”
I looked, and there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering and to conquer.
In 2020, covid, and the White Horse rode forth.
In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the Red Horse rode forth
In 2024, chickens and cows and pigs were culled in mass numbers, and the Black Horse rode forth.
Whence follows the Pale Horse, and it’s rider, who holds sway over all?
