International health authorities are meeting in April to determine if the U.S. has lost its measles-free designation. While the semantics over whether the West Texas outbreak ended in 2025 or simply moved to other states, experts agree: the U.S. has a measles problem. Read more from @AssociatedPress

I had my MMR titers checked at the end of last year. One M (measles) and the R (rubeola) were fine... but I had no immunity for the other M (mumps). So I went in and got an MMR vaccination shot. Easy peasy.

Dear Gen X: Please go get tested for measles immunity. Every single one of my friends who was tested at various points in their life (started working at a hospital, went back to school, etc) found they had no immunity. I just found out myself, and it's probably been like that for a long time. I got a shot a few days ago. #measles #GenX #PSA

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is the largest in the country and has spread to three other states.

It’s growing at an alarming speed.

Over 500 people in quarantine and 200 are actively infected.

This was completely preventable.

These people didn’t need to get sick.

Measles can kill. It can disable. It can leave you deaf and blind.

It’s a vaccine preventable illness.

Shame on everyone creating distrust in the vaccine and refusing to do their part for public health.

We confirmed a measles outbreak in Snohomish County – the first in the state since 2023 – with three unvaccinated children ages 23 months to 9 years testing positive for the highly contagious disease.

The #outbreak comes as measles cases are rising across the United States, with multiple states reporting increased activity. Remember, the MMR vaccine is safe, effective, and your best protection against #measles.

They've chosen to live in a bubble, and this is why I use the word "irredeemable." They have placed themselves beyond basic truth and reality. What we all can see does not matter to them. As measles sweeps through South Carolina, they're choosing to lie about that, too, and to claim immigrants brought it.

From earlier today:

Measles continues raging in South Carolina; 99 new cases since Tuesday

With so many exposures sites, officials can’t figure out where people were infected.
