Mostly border states are impacted. Is it possible that measles is coming across the border? How many thousands cross our borders daily who are not vaccinated? Don't call me racist, I have 3 immigrant family members, (who became vaccinated when they entered our country,

JennyMcCarthy this is completely your fault.

This is so sad when all you have to do is get a vaccine to protect yourself and others !

Damn liberals.... ..... and Texas

WKRN Keep it out of the South hippies

And this directly coincides with the percentage of anti-vaxers in the counties...magically coincidence

Are these states that have an influx of Illegals, who have never seen a doctor in their home country?

I hope that translates to 314 prison sentences.

Address the illegal immigrants and foreigners who are unvaccinated and coming across our borders. How do we vaccinate them?

Only further proves how many idiots really live in this country...and they vote

Wait, what happens to the person when they have measles? Are they place under quarantine? Or something like that?

So, how many deaths have occurred. Measles vaccines weren’t yet available when I was young & I don’t recall any major emergency when kids got the measles. Has something changed?

I thought people got vaccinated so stuff like this wouldn’t happen!!!💔

It does matter if people don't believe in science. It can kill.

Impose martial law & force vaccinate everyone. This is how you deal with the unvaccinated scourge...

All liberal states except TX

I love when americans say their country is the best and then shit like this happens

Maybe if it was something truly debilitating like polio, these assholes might start getting vaccinations

Where are the sanctuary cities? Oh they match

Oakland County MI has 22 reported cases as of Tuesday March 26.

Could you please report how many DEATHS, that would be great, thanks

Hmmmm I wonder if there’s anything to fix measles? Anyone in particular we should blame? 🤔🤔

Hmm if only they had a vaccine...

An HIV treatment cost taxpayers millions. The government patented it. But a pharma giant is making billions.Critics say the CDC is “twiddling their thumbs” and failing to leverage patent for public health. Figures, why isn't the Republicans looking into this!!! The Government should give incentives for drugs companies to part with their drugs for a reasonable price. Maybe the government could fund the research into the drugs so the companies don't have to re-coup the costs from their future customers. The greed of big pharma is not a shock anymore. You just need to look at the OpioidEpidemic as another example. This has been going on for a long time and I hope soon Americans fight back on the corruption.
