So you really think the measles outbreaks in Texas are from anti-vaxxers? Why is the truth about these outbreaks so underreported?[/quote]

Yes, because they were. Amish/mennonite communities don’t vax and that’s where it originated from.[/quote]

Point of fact, it didn't "originate" there, measles has been around for who knows how long, thousands of years.

It came in from out of country, as many immigrants are not vaccinated, but affected the non-vaccinated people in that community where it exploded.

I don't know why we're always blaming immigrants when legal international travel to/from the US and rest of the world for tourism is many multiples/magnitudes more than illegal immigration, yes, even under Biden. Most recent TB case in my workplace was a US born and raised citizen who traveled abroad. For contagious, airborne diseases, they will arrive in the US regardless.  [/quote]

The initial outbreak was in a border town. It just so happened that the border community affected was Mennonite and they don't vaccinate. It's a poor area and people are not traveling internationally.  [/quote]
