You know how you accuse James of not understanding your point and 'swerving' - you've just done it.
Never mind the 'jail for haircut' distraction.  The only connection between borders and measles is US travelers (unvaccinated) returning from places with prevalent measles.

Trying to blame measles in the US on 'illegals' is just regurgitating some Fox Lies talking point.
The answer, and how the US gained 'eliminated' status, is maintaining a 95% immunization rate for herd immunity to be effective.

Trying to pin this on the left wanting open borders is just ignorant as well.  There was a bipartisan immigration bill in the Senate in Feb.2024 that was tanked under pressure from the orange idiot, because he need to rile up his base on this issue for election purposes.  (This ranks in stupidity with him tanking USMCA saying what a terrible deal it was - when it was his f-ing deal!)

Specifically to your attempt to pin a strawman opinion on me wanting open borders, that is incorrect.  There needs to be border security.  My only complaint has been that during this administration, ICE has been rather thuggish.  And executive orders removing asylum status and other pending legal immigration processes has been another publicity stunt to rile up his base, and has proven again and again in the courts to have not been legal orders from the orange god.

I'm still laughing!!!

Kinda hard to have "Herd Immunity" when you inject 23 million unvaxxed illegals into the pool.

But I digress , must have been those traveling Amish!!! 

And every court who fought Trump has lost on Appeal.

If you could remember anything before your last Poop. You might recall the outbreak started with the Amish in Texas and 2 kids died.And yes, it was during Biden's term.

I understand you don't have the capacity to recognize a religion nor their faiths.

Most Libs don't.

Seriously bro, since it's obviously too late for the getting smarter thing, lay off the booze.

No one coming in. At all.

Including any of us coming back.
But we'd still have to get back to 95% immunization in order to achieve 'eliminated' status again now that we've f'ed it up.

If the mf'ers weren't coming across the border, it wouldn't matter that our vaccine rates dropped.

The only way for that to work is to close our borders tightly and completely. No one coming in. At all.

The funniest thing about this measles hype from the left is that six years ago they wanted to jail people for going to get a haircut during covid but now they don't care if our borders are open for people with all kinds of diseases.

We know this is a tall order, but try to be smarter. (Or more sober)

The measels outbreak is because we, as a country, have vaccination rates that are dipping below what is needed for herd immunity. True, some of the infections are due to people coming into the country from places where measles infection rates are high, but this wouldn't be an issue if our rates were at or above the 95% needed.

Why, you ask, are vaccination rates dropping? Good question. Primarily, it's because dipshit ant-vaxers believe dipshit, unqualified people like Kennedy, who spread false, unscientific information.

There'd still be import from (unvaccinated) US travelers coming back from places where it is more prevalent.  That is the most common source of new outbreaks here.  You can't blame everything on foreigners.  We do it to ourselves.

AI overview for: origin of us measles outbreaks

Measles outbreaks in the U.S. typically originate from international importation by unvaccinated travelers, followed by spread in communities with low vaccination coverage. While eliminated in 2000, resurgence is driven by vaccine hesitancy and global travel, with recent outbreaks often linked to cases from countries like the Philippines, Ukraine, and Israel.

Key Causes of US Measles Outbreaks:

Importation: The primary cause is unvaccinated travelers returning from countries where measles is endemic or experiencing outbreaks, particularly the Philippines, Ukraine, Israel, Thailand, and others.

Declining Vaccination Rates: Outbreaks are increasingly common in close-knit communities, such as Orthodox Jewish communities in New York (2019) or Amish communities in Ohio (2014), where lower-than-average vaccination rates allow the disease to spread rapidly.

Vaccine Misinformation: Increased vaccine skepticism and misinformation spread via social media have contributed to declining vaccine coverage in some families and communities.

Notable Outbreaks: The 2015 Disneyland outbreak originated from a traveler from the Philippines, while the 2019 New York outbreak was initiated by an unvaccinated child returning from Israel.

Despite measles being eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, these outbreaks highlight the need for consistent, high vaccination coverage (two doses of MMR vaccine) to prevent transmission.
