Should have have been more specific.
Starting at the time:
From the CDC:
"...The United States has maintained measles elimination status for over 20 years. ..." Which was the year 2000 +
To the rapid and tremendous rise of 2024/5
"...Outbreaks in the U.S. happen when one of these measles cases finds a group of unvaccinated children and keeps spreading...."
"... By 2000, measles cases decreased by 90% and were virtually eliminated in the U.S. This means that cases seen in the U.S. after 2000 were more likely due to travel than being exposed to the virus in the U.S...."
"... the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a Health Advisory warning of an increase in both global and U.S. measles cases. There were 132 confirmed cases in the U.S. from January 1 to May 9, which emerged as a result of eight outbreaks compared to a mere 58 cases in total in 2023. ..."
"...In 2017, a 75-case outbreak occurred in Minnesota and affected mainly Somalian Americans living in Minneapolis. ..."
"... In January 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced “vaccine hesitancy” to be one of the top ten global health threats ..."
(Notice the words, """global health threats""")
Not the USWho was flooding in to many Countries at that time ?
My Opinion is: Not the fault of people that chose to NOT take a vaccine for a illness which they have been told is
"... maintained measles elimination status for over 20 years...."(Like putting your arm out the window of a car, and putting your hand UP/Down/Straight, to signal a person you are turning or breaking. Which NO ONE does anymore)Perhaps, Biden should have required the vaccine, unless the person coming in to the US could show their VAX papers.
I believe it is the
FLOOD of NOT-VETTED, humans who are
SNEAKING into this, and other Nations.
