Summary
A measles outbreak in western Texas has reached 481 cases, with 59 new infections reported in the past three days.
Most cases involve unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown vaccination status. Gaines County remains the epicenter with 315 cases.
Children under 18 account for the majority of infections, and 56 patients have been hospitalized. Texas health officials warn the outbreak is not yet contained.
Nationally, the CDC has confirmed 607 cases in 21 states. Experts emphasize vaccination, citing its 97% effectiveness with two MMR doses.
When do we get to the point where anyone traveling from Texas is banned from entering other states?
I feel like texas and florida shouldve been travel restricted a long time ago tbh. I dont want the brain worms leaking out much less fucking measles.
Impossible. Right to travel is part of the constitution, but I do wonder how it applies to emergency powers
You can declare a medical quarantine. That’s constitutional generally but it has to be limited and specific.
The constiwhat? What year do you think it is?
Non vaccinated is common in both deep red and deep blue areas.
No, it’s not.
It is. The crunchy granola far left has always had anti government suspicion. Both far right and left are anti government and suspicious of mainstream medicine. For different reasons but that’s why you have anti vax people in deep blue Oregon and Minnesota and Texas as well
