Why Blame “Anti-Vaxxers” Instead of Immigrants for Measles Outbreaks?

The usual clickbait sites are gleefully blaming “anti-vaxxers”, parents opposed to vaccines for their children, for the measles outbreak. They are certainly a safe target, but overlooked is the simple fact that there would be no outbreaks without immigration from countries where measles is widespread.

So much vitriol is spent on blaming parents who don’t vaccinate, while blaming those who import the disease, especially Obama with his border rush amnesty, is politically incorrect. 

Asked if the anti-vaccination movement contributed to the latest outbreak in California, a spokesman for the state health department Carlos Villatoro, said in an email: “We think that unvaccinated individuals have been the principal factor.”

Obviously unvaccinated individuals are a factor and the average liberal smiles having his prejudices reaffirmed. But unvaccinated, does not necessarily mean those opposed to vaccinations.

The United States eliminated measles, but immigration, particularly from the Third World, kept bringing it back.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association — Pediatrics last year found that 88 percent of measles cases in the country “were internationally imported or epidemiologically or virologically linked to importation.”

There were a few cases not linked to any kind of importation over a period from 2001 to 2011, but they did not seem to be endemic, researchers said. The study ultimately found that while endemic measles was still eliminated, international importation remained a serious risk.

As long as people are traveling to and from other countries, and as long as some of these people may be unvaccinated and they may come into contact with other unvaccinated people, the risk remains of measles cases in the United States.

It’s doubtful that measles cases skyrocketed last year, increasingly threefold, because of Jenny McCarthy. There was a little thing called amnesty which brought with it a border rush and plenty of other diseases.

  1. The hullaballoo over measles is just another red herring to promote the pharma companies profits. Another thing, measles is not a deadly disease. Its a common childhood disease which many of us old timers experienced. We’re still here.

          1. I thought you said before about ‘your husband’ and that your name was JEN-O and #1 said you where a guy and your name was more like GINO. lol

            I lost.

  2. When I was a kid. Most all came down with measles. Once you were over them you had to go to the doctor for a look over and pass to return to school. If I remember right you raised your shirt and he looked at your stomich was it and off to school you went with the pass. Proving most doctors were quack’s even back then in my thinking. A few did die and had complications. Probably fewer than have coplications and die from the vaccine today.

  3. Good point. Why aren’t we blaming the illegal immigrants who brought the damn thing here in addition to the pharmaceutical companies pushing these vaccines?

    Oh wait! That’s why. The pharmaceutical companies wanted the illegal immigrants to come her to create the measles outbreak in order to cause a reaction to get people to get them to do something in which their solution would be forced vaccinations. Just another problem-reaction-solution scenario brought to you by the pharmaceutical companies. 😉

  4. We live in a sad world these days brothers and sisters. Most people just don’t care or are to stupid to understand that this whole thing is manufactured. Too many people have had their brains washed to the point that they’re to far gone. Absolute insanity would be an understatement. My 3yr old has never been stuck with any of their biological filth, and never will as long as there is a breath of chemtrailed air in my lungs. The combination of fear and ignorance is always a great motivator.
