The nation is struggling to control the spread of the wildly contagious virus as vaccination rates continue to fall.
The U.S. has officially logged 982 measles cases in 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. It’s more than four times the number of cases as this time last year, when a large outbreak was just beginning in West Texas.
Twenty-six states have reported cases so far this year. Large outbreaks continue to grow in Utah, Arizona and, most notably, South Carolina, where the virus has been spreading since the fall. As of Friday, the state had reported nearly 800 cases since January, bringing the outbreak’s total to 973.
It’s the largest single measles outbreak the U.S. has seen in a generation.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
And what do we say every time someone catches measels?
“Thanks, RFK Jr, you fucking arsehole!”
And the federal government is asleep at the wheel.
The assholes running it have very stupid ideas about vaccines. They are not exactly asleep, they are ideological hacks.
Yeah like a drunk “falls asleep”
With that control, they can exert influence over what those doctors and hospital employees say publicly, especially when it comes to potentially controversial topics like vaccines.
Why the fuck is accepted science “controversial”?
I’m so sick of that word.
In b4 they stop reporting cases
too slow.
georgia[south carolina whoopsie poopsie i libeled the wrong southern state] hospital won’t tell its doctors about measles admissions. read this morning, maybe yesterday?thank you. corrected

Just one of the many sympthoms of an empire in decline.

When I read what that mother that lost a child to measles said, I wanted to punch a hole in my wall.
