Those rates are generally based on kindergarteners. Not really population based but, fair enough.
Who is the anti vax crowd? I understand that you despise RFK Jr but he and the CDC support the requirement for children to get the MMR vaccine. South Carolina requires the MMR vaccine for children over 1 yr old. I don't know what it takes to get an exemption in South Carolina but I assume the 92% who do get the vaccine are protected. That said I read that a vaccinated teacher got measles so the vaccine obviously isn't 100% effective.
I've read that there are pockets where the vaccination rate is low but I'm trying to understand how that happens when the law requires vaccination. Are the kids home schooled? Are groups of people receiving exemption and if so on what basis?
It's wild - their pathologically lying president says 20 million came in during Biden's term and every single one of them repeat it like it's a fact, when the number is closer to 4 million. But they've spread that number amongst themselves so many times they have no idea they're lying(or don't care because it sounds good) and when combined with their decison to do their own research and/or think for themselves, it's easy to understand how they're so easily misled.
Because it isnt recommended. But waning immunity, specific to MMR, is well known. It lasts a long time, decades almost certainly, but it isn’t unlimited. It’s been well over 30 years since mine. I would not gamble that I have sufficient immunity.
If you’re scared of measles then stay inside your house. You don’t make the rules. You don’t get to make medical decisions for others because you let your tv scare you into a state of hysteria
Thanks for the facts! I'm happy to add color:SC measles outbreak, largest active in the country, continues across the Upstate
South Carolina’s measles outbreak, by far the largest active in the country, continues to sicken unvaccinated children in the Upstate.www.postandcourier.com
Just facts.
Another 88 people were stricken by measles in the Spartanburg area, pushing South Carolina’s outbreak to 646 and fueling what is already the largest cluster of infections in the country right now, the S.C. Department of Public Health reported Jan. 20.
There are another 538 unvaccinated or unprotected people in quarantine and 33 in isolation. The latest of those quarantines will last until Feb. 23, public health said. That now includes more than 80 students at Clemson University, where there has been a confirmed case, and Anderson University, the agency said.
Of the 588 outbreak cases with a known vaccination status, 563 were unvaccinated, public health said.
Of the new cases, all but 12 were in children, Post and Courier analysis of public health data showed. So far in the outbreak, at least 574 children have been sickened, including 155 under the age of 5, when children are at greater risk of serious infections like pneumonia or a swelling of the brain known as encephalitis.
The average measles vaccination rate for Latin American countries and the Caribbean is 86% with many in the high 90s, so not the gotcha you think it is.
I mean we can complain about them being here but also complain about them showing up at the clinics to get their shots on our dollar.The average measles vaccination rate for Latin American countries and the Caribbean is 86% with many in the high 90s, so not the gotcha you think it is.
Just pointing out the false belief that Latin American immigrants aren't vaccinated, when all countries have vaccination programs and many of them have higher vaccination rates than we do. I don't have a problem with vaccinating them but most won't need to be. ;-)
Anti-social behavior? So follow the herd or you get locked down? Sue someone for getting sick from an airborne virus. News flash. You are not in control and never were of nature.
I understand. I just like stirring the pot. I find it funny the mental gymnastics some go through to justify flawed reasoning. Nor am I referring to your reasoning good sir.
The herd is the general public and if public health is less important to you than owning the libs, it's not outrageous to say you should be considerate enough to isolate from good citizens who do care.
We went back and forth last night so it's probably not worth it- Did you see the recent stats?:
This is the largest cluster of outbreaks in the COUNTRY. I know we went back and forth on this yesterday, but come on man- this is bad.SC measles outbreak, largest active in the country, continues across the Upstate

If it was eliminated how is it back?
I don’t give a **** about owning libs. I was all on board until Covid. Good citizens lost their damn minds so now I am out. Masks, social distancing, the jab, it was all bs because some of yall are scared of your own shadow.
I'm not going to do your research for you. It was eliminated but not "cured."
What do I not understand? It was eliminated from this area. Then the virus was reintroduced, most likely from an immigrant, no hate just a fact. And now the herd immunity is compromised. If doctors and politicians hadn’t lied to us for several years about Covid more people would not be questioning vaccines. They created this problem and it will take time to put things back together. I will not demonize anyone for having doubts. For some reason blacks get a free pass because of some experiment that happened before they were born. Myself and my children have the MMR so we aren’t spreading anything. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Who knows when the reaper will come calling. Wear a seatbelt.
Nope, you just showed your cards. Covid anti-vaxxers were 99.9% maga which proves it was always political because y'all were pissed that Trump lost and wanted Biden to fail - it was clear as day. So unless all maga are smarter than the rest of us, it's hard to believe that those immediate measures were that big of a deal. Wearing a mask indoors in public spaces was easy, not breathing a strangers breath was easy and a tiny prick is easier still. Couldn't have been about safety because it was FDA approved, hence why the rest of us weren't concerned. Strange how it split perfectly along party lines, which is a bizarre way to make health decisions.
Trump invented the jab and is proud of it, he is an idiot. The lockdowns were bs. The mask didn’t work. They kept kids out of schools for years and it is having lasting repercussions. Inflation, the debt, the problems go on and on. Elderly and people with diabetes needed to be careful everyone else should have been free to deal with the virus. If you can’t wrap your head around that then you are retarded.
It was a novel, meaning NEW virus that we had never seen before so we had to lean on knowledge gained in past viral epidemics at first until we had time to learn more about how to approach it. Unfortunately, the decisons weren't perfect, but only in hindsight. They were just trying to save lives, not tread on you.
Maybe here's some perspective, maybe not. This could differ in SC, but it's just a general reference: let's say a small school district serves a K-12 student population somewhere around the number of cases you quoted. If 3 kids within a small school district all died in a short timeframe, it would be a HUGE deal, no? Or, for example, in the Upstate if there are 2242 babies under the age of 1...and 3 of them die from the same cause that was otherwise preventable, but their well-being was instead risked because of others beliefs?
Do you think you're the only one who went through 2020? Do you think you're the only one who has struggled with the Government lying to them? Do you think you're the only one who is frustrated with the response to Covid, and how traumatizing it was on children, marriages, and family?
It was immediately clear where the high risk population was. Within weeks. Who politicized the virus? The teachers unions for one. Again very early it was known that children were getting mildly sick. Natural immunity is a known. We have seen coronavirus’s before. Fauci was hiding information about the gain of function research. He destroyed communications. Rand Paul has the receipts. I have no problem with people taking the jab, but to demonize others and try to lock them down was ridiculous for a virus like Covid. The democrats utilized the fear to win the election, that is not maga talking, it is a fact. Our politicians don’t give a **** about us on either side, they just want power.
Not immediately clear and I know of two people in their 40s who died from it and since it wasn't harmful, there really was no excuse to not get it.
Covid is a straw man. It might be WHY a large portion of people became anti-vax but doesn't excuse their sh i tty rationale to be so. That was a novel virus, not one that had been proven to be prevented by vaccines that have decades of studies, research, and proof that they are safe and effective.
When I see Fauci at the guillotine I will get over it. The damage caused was not worth it. Sad that so many went along with it and now just sweep it under the rug.
Ok, I completely disagree that it was his fault and we know the real reason maga flipped on him is because he disagreed with Trump and said hydroxywhatthefvck didn't work and could barely control his laughter when Dr Trump was making a fool out of himself at the podium. That's it. But we're not going to agree and that's fine so have a good night.
You seem to be a little obsessed with maga. I hope Rand gets him back before the senate so that he can answer some questions.
