All those kids do not qualify for the king's "supermen" army and reproduction farms because they weren't strong enough to resist it naturally.
I wish I were joking, but I honestly feel this is where we are being led to.

Did they get their guillotine vaccinations?

Doubtful that this is a response to anything they did.
Too short a time frame.

But those two got THEIR vaccinations..

After you recover from getting the measles as a child you can still die from complications of it as a teen. These people are nuts.

It's crazy to think School Shootings used to be the worst thing to happen to you at school.

They're not fully responsible for this - the antivax movement does predate even Trump's first presidency. They're certainly not helping things, though.

Is it me or does low level plagues seem to follow trump?

He is literally the essence of evil, so it makes sense.

How does measles continue to survive if so many were previously immune to it? (Please note I'm not suggesting vaccines are bad or ineffective, i'm just actually curious where it's coming from if next to nobody was catching it)
palefury
Not enough people are immune to it due to vaccine hesitancy, which is only increasing

Measles is one of those viruses that doesn’t need much help to spread. A single infected person can pass it on to anywhere from 10 to 20 others. Once the virus finds even the smallest gaps in community immunity, it quickly takes advantage and spreads like wildfire.

Often in cases like this where a diseases has been practically eradicated locally, but when the efforts falter, it is reintroduced from abroads where the immunization never had reached as high levels and thus the virus remained in circulation. Measles is extremely contagious and requires very high level of herd immunity to block outbreaks.
InfocalypseRising
That makes sense. thanks
wobblecopterrrr
look up "herd immunity", vaccines are not 100% effective, and some people, either can't, or don't get them.
InfocalypseRising
Yeah, I understand that, but like, in 2015 there were under 200 cases in the entire US. In a population of 340 million that's basically nothing, so I guess i'm asking where it's hiding when it's not in people so that it doesn't die out.

The united states has never been without measles https://www.statista.com/statistics/186678/new-cases-of-measles-in-the-us-since-1950/
Measles is infectious about 2 weeks after infection, so if each person infected just two more people then one person could spread it to 67 million people in a year. Measles can infect way more than that but since most people are vaccinated that inhibits the spread, but it doesn't stop it completely, and the moment vaccine rates fall it can surge.

It came in from outside of the community, most likely. Look at what happened in American Samoa. Something like that is going to happen in continental US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Samoa_measles_outbreak
