@Sheril antiscience morons will burn the world to the ground, swim through miles of innocent peoples blood just to prove they are right, regardless of how demonstrably wrong they are.

@Sheril If Trump was president there would be no measles. 🙃

@Sheril

Trump pandemic. RFKed.

@Sheril Republicans can't govern

@Sheril It does in a theocracy.

@Sheril They will just think the deep state is punishing them for not getting the jab

@Sheril

This is simply criminal, no other words for it. Seems like the USA are under attack by its own rogue government.

No words…

@Sheril careful, the numbers given in the screenshot might be misleading.

If current CDC data are still trustworthy, there seems to be some kind of seasonal pattern in measels cases[1].

Measels cases seem to increase over time, but that seems to start in the early 2000s. Maybe vaxx-reluctance started to kick in then ... maybe because there hasn't been many outbreaks in the 90ies.

but still: the current admin is a problem.

@Sheril Republicans worked hard to revive the measles threat. They deserve all the credit for their achievement.

@Sheril Infection growth will still be in lag phase. Exponential yet to come. For figures, US has downward pressure for active reporting. Actual numbers will be higher.

@Sheril the movie Idiocracy was (sadly) right

@Sheril How does it fit into the narrative "Make America great again"?

@Sheril
No Great without a Rise

@Sheril 2020 is a bad comparison year. That's about what you would expect from Fox, but you can find better sources

Anyway, this trend has been happening for a while, but the current administration is doing nothing to address the issue

(note: graph is 2025 up 7th July. I'm providing it here to show that 2020 is a bad comparison. 2019 is a better comparison year)

@Sheril it's not "viruses" killing people, it's the multitude of toxic chemicals in the world! I've been trying to warn people about this since at least 2012!

@Sheril This is no accident. This was deliberately planned.
Why the regime wants to kill its own supporters and kill the economy that enriches them, I really have no clue. But they are doing everything they can to annihilate their own country.

@Sheril

And getting measles means that your immune system is reset to zero which has a significant impact on your life expectancy, even if you recover from it.

@Sheril didn't take long, did it?

@Sheril "It is what it is." - Donald Trump about people dying from COVID.

@Sheril This country is going to extinction.

@Sheril Dead serious - anti vaxxers kill people.

@Sheril All thanks to the crazy anti-vaxxers.

@Sheril so Fox News is reporting on it. I wonder how they are framing it?

@Sheril yeah, but apparently there will be WAY less autism 🤣🤣🤣 😢

@Sheril Measles cases in the United States are currently at a genuinely serious level. However, this graphic is misleading because it frames the increase relative to 2020, when measles cases collapsed to just 13 due to COVID-19 lockdowns, reduced travel, masking, and disrupted reporting. By comparison, the U.S. recorded roughly 370 measles cases in 2018 and about 1,275 cases in 2019, which was the highest pre-pandemic year in decades. Current case counts are therefore high and comparable to past outbreak peaks, but not unprecedented when viewed against the broader pre-COVID historical context.(Data source: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-measles-cases?time=2004..latest#all-charts)

@Sheril Tell your member of Congress: #ImpeachRFKJr

@Sheril one of the most infectious respiratory disease, correct, it didn’t need to happen.

@Sheril And as it's Fox News, you can't even be sure they don't count this as a "win".

@Sheril
Sure it did
They voted for this bullshit.
They want it all to burn.

@Sheril

The sad state of affairs is the numbers are only going to go up. I don’t know whether the worst affected states are going to get a handle on things. They certainly may well do so.

But who knows. The holiday season is upon us. I don’t even want to think about the potential of spreading, because red state, sloppy and incompetent?

How confident are the public safety people in red states?

@Sheril Agreed.
