So how do we control measles? Firstly, AMERICAN TRAVELERS should make sure they are vaccinated against measles if they are going to an area with measles outbreaks. If US travelers don’t pick measles up, they can’t bring it back. Secondly, AMERICAN RESIDENTS inside the US need to be vaccinated.
Measles is one of the most contagious viruses known to man. On average, 1 infected person will infect 12-18 others. It only takes 1 infected traveler entering an unvaccinated community to cause a massive outbreak. If members of a community are vaccinated, they will not get infected even when exposed
If enough members of the community are vaccinated (≥95%) they will block the spread of measles to non-immune individuals like young babies and immunocompromised people. In 2024, Europe had 127,350 measles cases. This is where we are headed if we do not get measles vaccination rates back up.

Good for Darwinism but bad for collateral damage of the innocent minors that have anti-vax families
The World Health Org, specifically, PAHO, assists all countries south of the U.S. border with their childhood vaccination campaigns. These efforts are very well done with virtually universal vaccination rates. Re the U.S. measles epidemic: the call’s coming from inside the house
Exactly! 💯
WTH with the Europeans. Geez, they’re supposed to be smarter than us. Take a shot y’all.
They are wrong, which makes me doubt they have any idea what they are talking about let alone being some sort of alt CDC.. they do not understand the difference between Europe vs European region which is what the report refers to. European region includes all of Russia and parts of central Asia.
In the period claimed, EU countries had about 32000 measles cases. 28000 of these were in Romania. Always remember that “the european region” includes Russia and Turkey, as well as several of the russian satellite states north of the middle east.
Evolution takes care of people who don’t know the difference between an old school vaccine that works and experimental inoculations designed for AMA racketeering butchers preying on sick and dying people.
