US measles outbreak is largest since disease was declared eliminated in 2000

Measles cases in the United States have surpassed the highest number on record since the disease was declared eliminated nationwide in 2000.

Overall, there have been 681 measles cases across 22 states this year, according to CNN's analysis of data from state and local health departments. The states reporting measles cases are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

How vaccines stop diseases like measles 01:26A source familiar with the measles situation in the United States previously told CNN that of the 626 cases of measles that federal officials counted as of last week, 72% are unvaccinated, and 18% have an unknown vaccination status. Among those who are unvaccinated, it may be because of personal beliefs and medical reasons. The other 10% were vaccinated with either one or two doses.Of those 626 cases, 487 were in people 19 and younger.

Experts recommend that children receive the vaccine in two doses: first between 12 months and 15 months of age and a second between 4 and 6 years old.With any medicine, including vaccines, there is a chance of reactions, according to the CDC. These are usually mild and go away on their own, but there is a"remote chance" of side effects and even serious injuries.Experts say the benefits outweigh the risks when it comes to the measles vaccine.

Thanks antivax mfs

ILLEGAL ALIENS

Drink coconut water

This is what happens when you have people that believe any bullshit they’re told & question all real science which is one of the few areas that actually uses fact based data Facts Matter

Due to Educated but arrogant people ,like the radical islamists don’t let children take Polio drops!!!That is in Oakjstsh and Agznistan.Never thought this could happen in America?

From lying russian bots on facebook. Putin is laghing

420 cures everything except wanting to vote for never had a job SANDeRS.

Well qhe. You have millions of immigrants pouring into our country who aren't vaccinated and add that the anti- vaccers then an outbreak is likely to occur. Either way, the Democrats are responsible for both.

AYEMAH mb you have this ?

these damn anti-vax moms

Lol no one finds it odd when liberal media told of how many don't do vaccination and some with religious reasons all the sudden and I mean all the sudden there's a out break left and right of measles and other different outbreaks that are specifically targeting kids.

We move around a lot and any international school I send my kids to in Middle East or Asia demand full vaccination certificates or they will not allow them to attend school or even apply. It really should be global - common sense

Unvetted illegal vermine...

SuniDey Anti vaxxers are the ones to blane.

just vaccinate yo damn kids it’s that simple

Say NOOOO to the pesticides & chemicals that may be causing it😡

imagine being so stupid to the point where you think a vaccine can give your child Autism, which is something you develop in the womb.

MatthewACherry I still don’t understand how we have the most free info available to us ever in history - how can people be this willfully ignorant to not vaccinate their kids. Stay in school, kids.

Emma chamberlain’s bacne is getting out of hand

Yeah. Let’s keep letting the illegals in and not making people vaccinate.

🤦🏻‍♂️😡

And the US has the largest surge of illegal immigration in recent history!!!!!

They didnt pray hard enough.

EWOKinLA 🤦🏾‍♂️🤯

Hi everyone. I had the measles back in 1961. I was like nine. I am now 66. I had to get a Shingles vaccination to protect me as an adult from this. Crazy, I know. I can't figure out if these parents are stupid or just dumb for not vaccinating their kids. They are criminals.

Make immunizations mandatory!!! Thank Jenny McCarthy for all this!!!

i'm sorry america blame antivaxx

(DIRRECTED at CNN measles) FLOTUS POTUS FOXNEWS RUSHLIMBAUGH : U CLAIM HIGHEST MEASLES OUTBREAK IN MADAGASAR OF OVER 800+AweekAgo. THEN U NEVER DECLARE HOW MANY HAVE IT IN AMERICA?. IM 67 YEARS OLD!. MEASLES WERE COMMON IN-the50s & HARDLY ANY DEATHS.(mass fear hysteria!.)

No mention of deaths reported from Measles but did read this..'With any medicine, including vaccines, there is a chance of reactions, according to the CDC. These are usually mild and go away on their own, but there is a 'remote chance' of side effects and even serious injuries.

More illegals!

Lots of stupid people in this country.

It was never eliminated!!

Get vaccinated

Dhoff6

Good job Liberals, you are sending us back to the 1800’s

Thank you JennyMcCarthy

Where is the undocumented immigrant correlation study? Figure it out guys...

Just so many misinformed idiots out there...

🤦🏼‍♂️

Herbal cure is best and the cheapest. Contact medicals in Nigeria. I'm Dossantos Oluwasegun Michael

Adios!!

I had the measles as a child. I , as is anyone who had it , is immune for life.

& how did it make a comeback?

How about mumps? There are more cases of mumps than measles. Most mumps patients have been vaccinated. The shot does not work. People should be outraged at pharma and HHS. The govt and media are allowing citizens to be deceived by pharma.

Illegal aliens bring good things to America!

Maybe it’s true, cause those parents got vaccinated when younger, it disabled them, now they have kids and they are too stupid to vaccinate them. I think I’m on to something here

I wonder who's bringing in those diseases? Thank you illegal aliens.

Perhaps the idiots running around doing all this so-called 'declaring' should be eliminated,and take a clearer,deeper look into what's really causing mass worldwide outbreaks.

I think measles is the problem

I cannot call it forgetfulness nor unserioussness. Is it apathy or too much love for human kind?

Immigrants are bringing all these diseases back

CNN is a depressing machine of bad news, period

I have an idea. We should provide shots that will keep measles away. Maybe even start this while their young... oh wait, we have that? Well, I guess you just can’t fix stupid.

Thfarmer1 Just dont get it duh

Thank your anti vaccine lobby

so saying the disease was eliminated was fake news

Well in US lives many low intelligent people who doesnt believe in vaccinate their kids and they believe earth is flat.......

Please don’t blame it on uncle Trump

Just vaccinate.....no, seriously just vaccinate. For non English speaking people I have included the link to google translate. Just cut and paste what I said.......

Û

SERIOUSLY NOW. 💉💉💉💉💉

SuniDey Hmm, heard vaccines were a thing, a fuck it... who needs it if it causes autism🤔

Like when Bubba solved the Israeli/Palestinian problem

The US is fucked

Thanks Jay Cutler

Feels like colonization all over again

You can blame all the illegals for that

This is terrible

Happy now pro-diseasers? You brought back measles. What’s next I wonder, Diptheria? Polio?

lunafishtic

Disease is coming back to the United States because the border is wide open dumbasses

Nit Wit flower sniffers brought this on themselves... NOW we all suffer and will be paying the price (literally) for 3-5 years. Thank you so much...

Thanks to the influx of immivrants AND the morons here who refuse to vaccinate their kids. Great job!

I got measles when I was 21 very painful when your older. Get your kids vaccinated. This is crazy what’s happening now

Get your child vaccinated!

Maybe the huge influx of illegal immigrants have a role to play in this...

We all finna die from measles. Ain't that some shit

Influencers are the new cult leaders, they target idiots and brain wash them with propaganda only to amuse themselves.

Just asking for a friend...

Me antivax parents

Is this another photoshopped picture like NBC's?

Get avenatti back on please! Great contributor, with CNN morality. He can blame trump for the outbreak.

wow i wonder what we can do to protect our children from this deadly virus! oh, wait

did they try essential oils

Thanks Kat Von D

and this is why we vaccinate our kids 👐🏻

Time to punish parents for being dumb and make them pay a fine.

I WONT MF WHY

beckysoistmann

olzi8

Terrible n all because of ignorant parents

Child abuse. No vacs = Child Abuse.

The anti vac community

Those of you who actually were vaccinated should have your titers checked. Years ago I found out I was no longer immune and had to be re-vaxxed. I was pregnant at the time and had to wait until after I gave birth.

Disease declared eliminated... before the invention of the internet and these facebook moms in antivaxx groups. Along eith the rise of flat earthers, coincidence?

SuniDey Anti vaxxers at it again

Thanks to illegals!!!

Why is this even a problem Vaccinate people!!!

Vaccinated kids should be ok though, correct?

GwynethPaltrow

Way to go Gwyneth Paltrow!!

We Winning Yet? 🤨

The people that Do have issues with the vaccine seem to not like that it’s combined into 3 vaccines at once. Is it time to make just a measles vaccine?

😲😳😲😳😲😳😲😳

Measles are the new bubonic plague!! Everyone's gonna die!!

Stop illegal invasion!!!

SuniDey Time to take government action on unvaccinated children.

CountessEire It'll be fine, I'd be more worried if we were in the tenths of thousands. This is only a few hundreds, though it's preventable to an extent, it's not improbable.

Thank Hollywood morons and the people who think they have all the answers in life for this problem - if someone dies or becomes disabled they should sue Jenny McCarthy for everything she has.

WTF!?! People, stop being so stupid! We got rid of a disease and ignorant anti-vaxxers single-handedly brought it back in one generation. All because they would rather have a dead kid than a 'different' kid. Don't kill other peoples kids because you are afraid of 'different'.

The disease was eliminated, how did it get back in the Country. Did it cross the border illegally?

Thank you social media for telling parents that vaccines are bad. Next thing ya know they'll have idiots voting for Trump as Preside........awe shit!!!!

Thanks to liberals

Where are the krassenstein jackasses on this ? Obviously it's Trump's fault !

You know where this shit is coming from don’t you? I’ll give you a hint. It’s South of the border.

All the people NOT immunizing their kids were themselves immunized! Aarrrrgh!

Due to illegal aliens.

Thank you anti-vax parents. If you want to endanger your own STDs (kids), that’s fine, but don’t endanger others.

Direct result of right wing idiots who do not believe in immunisation.

The beautiful gifts from the southern border.

As a percentage of the whole, it's still virtually non existent... less than 2/10,000ths of 1% infected. It's like worrying about Ebola.

Those that refused to vaccinate their kids. Hummmm

Hmm, I wonder why?

Brought to you by Illegal Immigrants of America

When you can answer why then do some real reporting.

Next up, polio and smallpox. We stopped vaccinating for those a long time ago.

Thanks anti-vaxxers

Thanks anti vaxxers.

if only there were a way that could prevent this, some sort of IDK a cootie shot... No that sounds dumb... a Vaccine, That's it we need a Vaccine for this easily preventable and terrible thing from happening. If only we lived in a world where that were possible

Ridiculous.... Vaccinate!

Thank you Open Borders and Ignorance about vaccinations🤔

cupcaking3 Scary stuff.

No big deal. Got it as a kid and it’s harmless. Big pharmaceutical owned media is pushing toxic vaccines.

Make vaccine mandatory!

Luckily these people who don't vaccinate will eventually end up killing themselves👍

thomsen_uffe Simon57235139

Thanks JennyMcCarthy ! You started this bull crap !!

Like with many other things, it looks like the experts were wrong in declaring a disease eliminated. As long as man exists, diseases will exist with him. Only fools go without immunization that's readily available.

You would be hard to find a doctor that did not vaccinate his own children

Any amount would be more than when it was eliminated, since declaring it eliminated would make the amount ZERO. Nice panic inducing, ridiculous statement. Which of the producers of the vaccine is paying for this 'blurb'?

Thanks to democrats for fueling the invasion of the 🇺🇸 bringing diseases and crime!!

Measles Outbreak Declared in L.A. County; Exposure Sites Include LAX, UCLA and Glendale Area Taco Shops

Thanks to people like CNN viewers and CNN. Build the wall stop the illegals who have been not vaccinated doesn't take a rocket scientist lame CNN

That's so unacceptable! We have vaccines for this reason!

Your Mr Trump is part of the problem peddling untruths about the vaccination and leaving parents worried. He needs to issue a statement that it is safe and sensible to vaccinate. He seems oblivious to all science

Yet you can still get measles when vaccinated. What’s the real solution?

This should only be affecting the anti-vaccsers, correct?

I retired just in the nick of time. That means fewer contacts with an american public that thinks Donald J Trump is 'presidential' and vaccines are a hoax. The 'Great Experiment' is burning to the ground from self-inflicted wounds. We could have had it all.

Brought to you by Democrats & Illegals-Plus other infectious diseases.

Scare Tactics lol those numbers are minuscule.

mwmeyer98

We bring in MILLIONS from third world countries every years. How could this happen here? Well it is't anti-vaxers for sure! It's third world values at play...

Way to go anti-vaccsers!

Don’t treat them since their parents chosen to not vaccinate!

naman😰

It’s a mystery. 🤔

Thanks to the wonderful Hasidics

Bring back internment camps for anti vaxers

Lol! Vaccinate ur kids people, acheni ujinga!

Close the border.

This is who is to blame

Excellent. Let nature take it's course.

And having sick illegal immigrants come in by the thousands does not help.....

ميسلس إيه ده حمو النيل يا عنيا

Thanks illegal immigrants

It’s only April

Hmmm. I wonder how it's getting into the US. 🤔

125,000 ILLEGALS RELEASED RECENTLY.....DEMOCRATS SUCK

Measles are not cool! Say no to measles!

... and how many were vaccinated?

So sad and dangerous. Not vaccinated your kids should be a crime. It doesn’t only protect your kids, but other people. Kids and adults a like. New York is losing a lot of tourists.

antivaxx ....

throw all them kids away

Vaccinate

Thanks anti vaxxers

Roughly 80% of the cases are age 19 or younger. Vaccinations are available for reasons. We choose not to vaccinate and diseases return, those diseases spread and become public health emergencies. Families need to rethink administering vaccines or we all will suffer the consequences. Is The antivax Movement Responsible And Guilty For The measlesoutbreak? We need more audits.
