Texas measles outbreak nears 100 cases, raising concerns about undetected spread www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

submitted 1 day ago • 0 comments

The updated count of measles cases in Texas now stands at 90, increased from 58 three days ago. Of these cases, 77 (86%) are children, 85 (94%) overall are unvaccinated, and 0 (0.0%) have been mentioned by RFK Jr. the Secretary of HHS. He’s far too busy casting aspersions on vaccines.

Sickness does not stop at state lines. Measles is spreading to other states, please check your records. Our communities deserve to be protected, no one should want this for their child or themselves. #WeThePeopleVax

Flu vaccination can be helpful, even if you get the flu. Being protected can prevent severe disease and hospitalization. Scary, dangerous stuff for little ones and those with chronic conditions.

Every single vaccine in the childhood schedule has been subjected to the highest level of scrutiny for any medical product. Because vaccines are given to an otherwise healthy population, safety and effectiveness are essential.
