If I was religious, I probably wouldn't be too far from thinking that a biblical plague hitting the country every time The Führer was elected was some kind of sign...
"One Nation under God."
Fucking LOL
Eh... that got added in the 50's to differentiate us from those godless commies.
And how did that work out?
Fucking LOL
Well... it would seem those same godless commies weren't ACTUALLY communists. So now we don't know WHAT to think! Fortunately, there seems to be a real lack of thinking in our "under God" nation anyhow... so, we got that!
It's almost like the vast majority of the country has been mushroom managed (kept in the dark and fed shit) since it's inception.
There's a good reason the dept of education has been assailed by all comers since forever. Privatisation and politicisation of the education of the people; make good, stupid little drones for the corporate machine, either in a cubicle or on a battlefield.
Those that refuse to conform, or are politically "undesirable" are run through the prison slavery pipeline instead.
I sound like a conspiracy theory nutter, but this timeline is so utterly fucked, that it's the truth. How batshit mental is that?
Oh yeah, and they do... Just that their sign probably says something like that it's not going fast enough, it's not harsh enough, it's not violent enough, we need more immigrants put and less gays, people!
Something like that
Don't give them ideas.
Old: "Measels"
New: "Republican Freckles"
I have to remember that one, perfectly encompasses what this is
Haha I like that
The poor kids that have no choice are the ones suffering here, not the asshole parents.
Let's keep that in mind.
I had it and as a child. I had a few days I wanted to die for some mental relief.
Its pure torture.
So from the context of places visited, this is an unvaccinated (prospective) college student from the area that's currently experiencing an outbreak? I bet they were looking forward to finally leaving small town Texas and then this happens to them.
Republicans should start having measles parties while drinking raw milk.
While spiking the milk with Invermectine.
They'll blame it on fluoridation.
End result the same, dead republicans!
I'm sure the secretary of health will immediately help.
I can't wait to hear what the guidance will be on this, likely some form of victim-blaming MAGArs for not being anti-vax enough and eventually devolving into a witchhunt for "fake conservatives" that still drink pasteurized milk 😂

Oh, good. Three hours in crowded tourist attractions on a Saturday afternoon, and six hours in bars and restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights. Plus eight hours touring campuses just a couple weeks before spring "super-spreader" break - with a disease who's characteristic rash turns up around Day 14. This can only end well ...
Is measles the kind of vaccine you need boosters for? I got the usual growing up but if the plague rats are spreading it I’d like to stay safe…
You probably should get an MMR booster, yes. Check DTP as well.
Yes. Adults need measles boosters
Ask your doctor to perform a titer. That will check whether or not you still have antibodies against it. If no, you need a booster.

DJT and RFK should visit the stricken area and skae a bunch of hands to show their support. They definitely shouldn't get a vaccine booster before they go.
Here's the thing with these anti-vaxx morons. Even if they contract measles and survive it (it can be dangerous in adults), you can sure as shit bet that they will not get the shingles vaccine once they hit 50. Shingles will fuck you up if you let it.

Just as God intended.
Measles don’t care who you voted for or what your gender is.
While this is true, not vaccinating is something more often found in conservative populations. And this problem is 100% caused by people who refused the vaccination that could have saved them.
To be fair, you'll find anti-vax far left as well. Think hippies and new age types.
Think hippies and new age types.
That was really true in the 70's and 80's. Live natural, Natural wood toys, yada yada.
The left side of that group (pacifists) is in geriatrics now and the straight up 'naturalists' have become aligned right wing.
But both sides! Anti-vax is like40-50% of the right and some fraction of 1% of the left

That is true. They are very conservative and self centered in their own way. They just use different words.

Why is Texas, so Texan?
Hey, if some kids need to be seriously ill and some fetuses lost then that is the price we pay for freedom! Now where is my gun?....
Oh shit.
