A measles outbreak occurred earlier this year at a "migrant center" in Chicago. The CDC reported this little tidbit of information in May:
On March 7, 2024, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) confirmed a case of measles in a male aged 1 year residing in a temporary shelter for migrants in Chicago. Given the congregate nature of the setting, high transmissibility of measles, and low measles vaccination coverage among shelter residents, measles virus had the potential to spread rapidly among approximately 2,100 presumed exposed shelter residents. CDPH immediately instituted outbreak investigation and response activities in collaboration with state and local health departments, health care facilities, city agencies, and shelters. On March 8, CDPH implemented active case-finding and coordinated a mass vaccination campaign at the affected shelter (shelter A), including vaccinating 882 residents and verifying previous vaccination for 784 residents over 3 days. These activities resulted in 93% measles vaccination coverage (defined as receipt of ≥1 recorded measles vaccine dose) by March 11. By May 13, a total of 57 confirmed measles cases associated with residing in or having contact with persons from shelter A had been reported. Most cases (41; 72%) were among persons who did not have documentation of measles vaccination and were considered unvaccinated. In addition, 16 cases of measles occurred among persons who had received ≥1 measles vaccine dose ≥21 days before first known exposure. This outbreak underscores the need to ensure high vaccination coverage among communities residing in congregate settings....During February 26–May 13, CDPH confirmed 57 shelter A–associated measles cases, including 52 among residents, three among staff members, and two among community members (Figure) (Table). The median age of persons with confirmed infections was 3 years (range = 0–52 years); most were originally from Venezuela (43; 84%) and arrived in the United States a median of 124 days (range = 56–202 days) before rash onset. Most persons (41; 72%) did not have documentation of measles vaccination and were considered unvaccinated. Among all cases, 16 (28%) occurred among persons who had documentation of ≥1 measles vaccine dose ≥21 days before first known exposure, and four (7%) occurred among persons who had documentation of ≥2 measles vaccine doses....
The CDC report is available here. 68% measles vaccination rate and there is a measles outbreak. What a surprise.

Yep, if you don't get vaccinated for measles, then you get sick and spread it to others. If you're an unvaccinated pregnant woman, your baby may be stillborn or have birth defects caused by in utero trauma. Get ready for more, America. The Brain Worm anti-vax fruitcake will be in charge of our health starting in January.
Multiple trolling posts in 3, 2, 1...
According to the CDC website, measles was officially eliminated in the United States in 2000 and was only a problem if the unvaccinated traveled abroad where measles was not contained. "This outbreak underscores the need to ensure high vaccination coverage among communities residing in congregate settings...." No, this outbreak underscores the need for closing the unvetted illegal border crossings!
Biden allowing MILLIONS of medically and criminally UNVETTED illegal aliens to enter the U.S. What could possibly go wrong?
Thank you 12:23 for stating the obvious. Unfortunately our "leaders" can't seem to get a grip on the obvious.
Reported in May. I guess it didn't turn out to be a big enough scare for politicians and media to gaslight the public.
Measles is the least of our worries. Does anyone here watch any of the police bodycam channels on youtube? These illegals give zero fucks about our laws. And they’ve gone from only having access to machetes and slam fire zip guns, to having huge arsenals of easily stolen guns. It was so hard for any non-cartel person to get a gun in LATAM but not here.
@12:23 No, what those outbreak sh
ows is that this is a binary problem with a binary solution. Understanding that those with their tin-foil antennas only focused in one direction, you see only one problem and only one solution.
Granted, closing the borders will help address problems like this one, but it does not eliminate the need to address the potentioutbreaks that can come from other mass concentrations of unvaccinated folks
Wee can thank the Biden/ Harris Administration for importing some 12-25 million people without vetting or medical info. We have had some polio because of that too.
Good God! You morons are the exact reason that Mississippi is DEAD LAST in so many areas! The surge is not solely attributable to illegals. Yes, any unvaccinated person plays a role in the spread of this disease, and that includes any illegals who are not vaccinated. But the bottom line is that you unvaccinated morons who think you know more than scientists about the spread of disease are the ones to blame, plain and simple.
How many adults get their vaccine boosters every 10 years? Your measles shot from 1972 is no longer effective and hasnt been since 1982. Most third world nations also have mandatory vaccine programs.
The issue is really a matter of hygiene. Americans treat our pets and livestock with better nutrition, living conditions, and healthcare than most third worlders could ever imagine for themselves. But they are bringing their diseases and parasites such as intestinal works. They are also bringing cholera, TB, and dysentery.
Legal immigrants have to get certificates of health and vaccinations at approved international hospitals appeoves by the US Embassy in their nation of origin. This is all very expensive and time consuming. It is easier and cheaper to iust pay a smuggler.
Measles, schmeasles. Holding that medical condition up to comparison with the strengths these illegals bring to this country, one sees that the latter is America’s newest superpower.
And our crumbling infrastructure, another secret superpower, will make it exceedingly difficult for the Russian invasionary force to make headway when they land after taking “Keev.”
So more money for foreign wars and illegals. It’s our future!
Proof inoculation for small pox and a doctor's statement of good health were required in nearly every town that had doctors in the US Children in every school in the U.S. got a polio vaccination at school as soon as it was available! George Washington had forced his troops to all get a small pox inoculation (much worse than vaccines as it made you a little bit sick and left a scar) as did most colonial towns.
Indeed, not that long ago, you had to prove you didn't have syphilis or gonorrhea to get a marriage license. Indeed, our military long ago continued Washingtons requirements and added vigorous health exams. Our Founders knew they could not keep others from being lazy, stupid or delusional, or unhealthy, but they sure as hell could keep them from hurting their fellow citizens! Indeed, they had no problem building insane asylums and jails or isolating the sick from others...remember the TB and leprosy and yellow fever asylums? No? That's because we don't NEED them now thanks to medical science! Those immigrants coming in through Ellis Island or a port didn't have a health exam but only had to not appear to be sick. My family was here before the Revolution and were and are whiter than white. The Dutch, the Lutherans, the Presbyterians, and the men who were not the inheriting sons of royal families who were given land grants by their kings made up the first colonists. All of those brought over some of their kin who needed to find a spouse. Most of us admit we weren't natives. The natives were Indians. And, all of my kinfolks, even Trump supporters had enough sense to vaccinate themselves and their children because we know it, while like all medicines, may have side effects, the gains far outweigh the risks. Those of you who are not Anglo- Saxon need to be worried because even as late and the 1950's if you were Italian, Polish, Jewish or any country in eastern Europe, you weren't white. School children told jokes about your descent. Also, do try to remember that Catholics weren't universally accept either. Remember John F. Kennedy was consider a " papist". It's truly "woke" tolerance that there will be lots of "foreigners" and " immigrants" and Catholics who will be appointees in the Trump administration partying at The White including his wife, his half immigrant foreign children and his foreign and Jewish in-laws. But, I'll bet they are all vaccinated now ROFL!
Do you really think someone takes your post seriously? You ramble incoherently in a wall of text with single space. No one reads that.
Oh dear God… first of all, measles is not deadly.. At least not nearly as deadly as most (if not all) vaccines are! Also, NO ONE with any common sense trusts a damn word coming from the CDC post Covid. Don’t even get me started on this idocracy!
Have to agree with 2:16.
I hate that the CDC and most every other government acronym has become so untrustworthy. Just like the endless lies from mainstream media, Fauci and those idiots have ruined so much.
