Illegal immigrants the likely cause of measles outbreak.

I thought it was homeschoolers

It was likely brought in from out of country

am I dumb or does that article have a surprising lack of facts or evidence

The one useful fact that it had was this

What do you expect from a site called "Gateway Pundit"?

even assuming these "illegal alien youths" are the source of the measles

Your assumption is not necessarily true

Northwest Cougar

1/26/15 8:57am

Here is a chart showing the number of cases not deaths

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:01am

Quote from your article shows they are misleading with that deaths graphic

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:28am

I do agree on the graph. I hadn't noticed that it was deaths and not cases

Thank white anti-vaxers

Your last paragraph is all emotion and silly. We don't know who patient 0 is, so

We dont know who patient 0 is so lets blame the immigrants

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:17am

Never said that. But it's equally as reasonable as Axel's assertion, which also

Also, only some of the Disneyland kids were unvaccinated

Northwest Cougar

1/26/15 9:23am

Most were unvaccinated

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:24am

Six were vaccinated, though

Northwest Cougar

1/26/15 9:28am

out of what 70?

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:29am

6 out of 37 at the time. Not sure what the count would be now.

Northwest Cougar

1/26/15 10:49am

If these americans had vaccinated the outbreak would be limited no matter the

concolor couguar

BluePete just said that at the top

AxelDC

1/26/15 10:56am

It's a reasonable starting assumption. Measles is not well controlled south

mikeynolikey

1/26/15 9:26am

They have an 89% vaccination rate. The US vaccination rate is 91%

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:26am

Mexico wouldn't be the problem, Central America might be

Blue Ghost

1/26/15 9:30am

I think Honduras is the lowest in central america at 85%

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:37am

Misleading becasue that's the whole population...It's very likely that a large %

Iman23

That could be

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:51am

When it comes to Measles though, the majority of the blame goes to the Anti-Vacs

Blue Ghost

1/26/15 9:56am

I've read Guatamala is consistently bad at measle immunizations.

Blue Ghost

1/26/15 9:51am

According to WHO stats, there were 4512 suspected measles cases in Mexico last

mikeynolikey

1/26/15 9:41am

Strange that there were only 2 confirmed cases

concolor couguar

1/26/15 9:49am

Not so strange when you consider Mexico doesn't dedicate resources to lab

mikeynolikey

1/26/15 9:58am

I was referring to the website in the OP

concolor couguar

1/26/15 10:06am

Ok, I agree, by the way, that declining vaccination rates here is a problem, but

mikeynolikey

1/26/15 10:12am

themselves and others who cant be vaccinated or those for whom the vaccine fails

concolor couguar

1/26/15 10:15am

Accusing Hispanics is racist

AxelDC

1/26/15 10:55am

It's funny that you assumed he meant Hispanics. So only Hispanics are Illegals?

LOL at the thumbs down crowd.

Thanks for being brave enough to post this! The wicked take the truth 2 be hard!

Yeah, those wicked people who don't believe that illegals are the problem to all

Robert Newman

OK, but you know who didn't get measles? Vaccinated people, that's who.

Turnpike Lane

1/26/15 10:19am

Actually they did. At least six were vaccinated.

Northwest Cougar

1/26/15 10:53am

Do you really believe vaccinations do not work in the vast majority of cases?

concolor couguar

1/26/15 12:07pm

I have never made that claim. Just saying that his claim is incorrect.

Northwest Cougar

1/26/15 12:32pm

Is that a no?

concolor couguar

1/26/15 12:34pm

Does it matter? I'm not an anti-vaxxer. All my kids were vaccinated 10-20

Northwest Cougar

1/26/15 12:44pm

Does any of this matter? I am simply curious

concolor couguar

1/26/15 12:48pm

Im sorry you had a family member become ill

concolor couguar

1/26/15 12:50pm

I love the right's attempts to distract from the anti-vaxxers and hijack this

DapperDan

I don't love the left's blissful denial that illegal (and unscreened)

mikeynolikey

Make the argument that unscreened immigration is a potential avenue for

Most anti-vaxers are far right conservative nut jobs.

The extremes on both sides are the ones who do it.
