The sad state of affairs is the numbers are only going to go up. I don’t know whether the worst affected states are going to get a handle on things. They certainly may well do so.

But who knows. The holiday season is upon us. I don’t even want to think about the potential of spreading, because red state, sloppy and incompetent?

How confident are the public safety people in red states?

And as it's Fox News, you can't even be sure they don't count this as a "win".

one of the most infectious respiratory disease, correct, it didn’t need to happen.

Measles cases in the United States are currently at a genuinely serious level. However, this graphic is misleading because it frames the increase relative to 2020, when measles cases collapsed to just 13 due to COVID-19 lockdowns, reduced travel, masking, and disrupted reporting. By comparison, the U.S. recorded roughly 370 measles cases in 2018 and about 1,275 cases in 2019, which was the highest pre-pandemic year in decades. Current case counts are therefore high and comparable to past outbreak peaks, but not unprecedented when viewed against the broader pre-COVID historical context.(Data source: ourworldindata.org/grapher/num…)

And getting measles means that your immune system is reset to zero which has a significant impact on your life expectancy, even if you recover from it.

This is no accident. This was deliberately planned.
Why the regime wants to kill its own supporters and kill the economy that enriches them, I really have no clue. But they are doing everything they can to annihilate their own country.

it's not "viruses" killing people, it's the multitude of toxic chemicals in the world! I've been trying to warn people about this since at least 2012!

2020 is a bad comparison year. That's about what you would expect from Fox, but you can find better sources

Anyway, this trend has been happening for a while, but the current administration is doing nothing to address the issue

(note: graph is 2025 up 7th July. I'm providing it here to show that 2020 is a bad comparison. 2019 is a better comparison year)

Infection growth will still be in lag phase. Exponential yet to come. For figures, US has downward pressure for active reporting. Actual numbers will be higher.

Republicans worked hard to revive the measles threat. They deserve all the credit for their achievement.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

careful, the numbers given in the screenshot might be misleading.

If current CDC data are still trustworthy, there seems to be some kind of seasonal pattern in measels cases[1].

Measels cases seem to increase over time, but that seems to start in the early 2000s. Maybe vaxx-reluctance started to kick in then ... maybe because there hasn't been many outbreaks in the 90ies.

but still: the current admin is a problem.

This is simply criminal, no other words for it. Seems like the USA are under attack by its own rogue government.

No words…

They will just think the deep state is punishing them for not getting the jab

antiscience morons will burn the world to the ground, swim through miles of innocent peoples blood just to prove they are right, regardless of how demonstrably wrong they are.
