My guess is that Oklahoma will be the next state after NM affected by the Texas measles outbreak. There is the geographical proximity, and there is also the fact that in 2024, only 89% of OK kindergartners were vaccinated with MMR. www.cdc.gov/schoolvaxvie...

Once upon a time a pseudo-hillbilly went to an Ivy League law school. Later in the story he pretended he didn't know any of the things they teach you there about the law, which had become inconvenient to his oligarchs and sordid ambitions.
