    Last outbreak we had in Virginia tracked back to an unvaxed Afghani family. We need to push on entry we vax everyone.


    Virginia has confirmed a measles outbreak in Buckingham County (expanded to include Cumberland County) in 2026, with multiple cases linked to individuals who recently arrived from Afghanistan

    The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has identified that some of these cases occurred among Afghan evacuees transported to the U.S.

      5 years ago, quickly contained? Noteworthy, sure, but unrelated to this article.

      The question you should be asking is, “why are measles able to spread through US populations” regardless of origin? From the article:

      Jha said that the dramatic rise in measles cases on Kennedy’s watch was not coincidental. “The administration has not done enough to promote vaccines. It has not done enough to highlight the harms that come from measles.”

      Honestly, I’m surprised RFK Jr. changed his position at all. Some parents of children who die of measles double down on their decision not to vaccinate.

        “why are measles able to spread through US populations”

        People have egg allergies and can’t get vaccines unfortunately. Then you have the nutters that won’t take vaxxes and then here we are.

        For me I had a really bad reaction to the last set of vaccines I got. I now know what Tetanus feels like in a minor way. Believe me you don’t want it, it hurts a lot.

                  I am proud to say I never will accept the morally bankrupt hypocrisy of Republicans. Nice try trying to lie this into what Republicans are though, fascist.

            Wow, really? They were unvaxed coming from Afghanistan how hard is that to understand and a measles carrier? We used to quarantine ships (even Astronauts) to keep people safe and now days its a bloody free for all.

            The level of not understanding the source of the issue is mind blowing. If they were quarantined and vaxed after there would be no measles outbreak…
