This Fox News panel goes after RFK Junior as they should. Too bad it is too little too late.

I want to see another news panel going after him now that a child has died of measles

Yeah none of them made a peep as he got confirmed. They have an unqualified fool/socipath at the head of HHS and people will die as a result.

This is mainly in the Mennonite community, families who attend small private religious schools or are homeschooled. I think this is awful but these religious folks won't ever listen to govt in any form. We need to make sure the rest of us are vaccinated.

I agree with you but do we know yet why this particular child wasn't vaccinated? The child could have been a new immigrant without access to free vaccines (or the mom was unaware of how to access them). Or the child could have been unable to get vaccines due to being immunocompromised. If either of those conditions apply, I can't place blame on the parents. But I can place blame on parents who don't vaccinate by choice thereby leaving other children vulnerable due to low herd immunity.

My thought as well. We don't know circumstances.

I’m sad that Democrats welcomed so many to illegally migrate without a single requirement of vaccinations.

Hey Dimwit—the strain circulating in West Texas is the same as the strain circulating in Europe. Also, the outbreak is in an antivaxxer Mennonite community, not illegal immigrants. Religious fundies instead.

If this were an immigrant problem, you’d expect to see outbreaks in the states with the most immigrants (California, New Jersey, New York, and Florida). Moreover, regardless of source, if children were vaccinated then exposure shouldn’t matter as much (there can be breakthrough cases, so it still matters somewhat).

Pls here - meant to quote the person blaming this outbreak on immigrants.

Totally preventable. Total child neglect.

Go read up on subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Basically, you can get measles if you're unvaxxed and can be asymptomatic. It can hide in your brain for 20+ years, then all of the sudden it attacks your nervous system. There are no cures, and you just die.

This is the risk idiot parents sign their kids up for when they choose not to vax. America is so stupid. I'm so done with it. Let them all die.

This kid is not too young to vax but too young to make the decision. The last person to die was an immune suppressed young woman who likely contracted measles in a clinic. These adults choices are needlessly killing others.

Do not care. Parents were dumb. They got the consequences.

I'm down with sympathy. They gutted CDC and want to take away vaccines. Give it to them.

If you haven’t gotten your immunity tested, I would. I’m only 33 and am not immune to the measles, although I was vaccinated.

My elderly mom loves telling me stories of her childhood overseas (we are immigrants). Most of her stories include a mention of such-and-such cousin who died young of the measles. According to her, every family in her town had one or more children die of the measles.

CATO Institute did a study to look at statistical correlation between percentage of illegal immigrants by state and infectious disease rates. There was a very, very small increase for Tb and zero correlation for measles. In 2000 the US was declared measles-free--i.e. someone coming into the country would have to have it. But when this has occurred, it has been in connection with legal visitors (large outbreak in MN several years ago involving and international kids' basketball tournament, one of the player had it and people in the highest seats in the arena when he was on the floor were the first to be infected.

Cassidy challenged him but caved when it came to vote time.

I live in Washington state and we always have outbreaks in our immigrant communities...the Russian immigrant communities.

Oh they’re quarantining people?! Do tell RFK. 🤔

The administration’s job is not to admire the problem. Its job is to take action and solve the problem.

What a pathetic pathetic response.

If it's the illegal aliens with measles why is it in a mennonite community?
