Make the argument that unscreened immigration is a potential avenue for

pathogens to enter the country. It might be a legitimate point of discussion. Using this specific case when no evidence exists makes me think another motive is in play. Some would declare racism and for some Im sure that is true but in most cases it is people trying to score political points without bothering to look at evidence.

Illegal immigrants the likely cause of measles outbreak.

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

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

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

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

Also, only some of the Disneyland kids were unvaccinated

Most were unvaccinated

Six were vaccinated, though

out of what 70?

1/26/15 9:29am

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

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

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%

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

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

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

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

Blue Ghost

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

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

Accusing Hispanics is racist

AxelDC

1/26/15 10:55am

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

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

1/27/15 11:50am

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

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

Im sorry you had a family member become ill

Most anti-vaxers are far right conservative nut jobs.
