Snopes is definitely left-leaning but these outbreaks are becoming an issue from stupid people thinking not vaccinating their children is a good thing.

Measles is highly contagious. Walk though a room where someone who had measles was and 9 out of 10 exposed, who are not vacinated will get it.
But in your example the virus has to be present for the anti-vaxers to acquire Measles. So where is the virus coming from in the first place? Given the number of 3rd world refugees pouring over the southern border, its not a leap to think they could be providing the basis for the outbreak here.


True but several of the past outbreaks have been linked to travelers returning from Europe and the Philippines by the CDC.

This breifly discusses some of the measle outbreaks in the US of recent times. The references link to further breakdown of where cases can to linked to. Many from Europe.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

Slightly dated, but still solid work by Dr. Garrret, in spite of a sideways homage to Al Gore. If anything, she's too optimistic....

One could argue, nor are the open border crowd, no matter what political party they are affiliated with.
