Hi #RFKJr

“At least 308 US #measles cases so far this year, marking the most infections reported nationwide in a single year since a record 2019 wave.

More than 90% of the cases have been from a growing outbreak in TX and neighboring NM – totaling at least 284 measles infections in the CDC data.

2 additional "probable" cases linked to the outbreak in OK have so far not been added to the CDC tally”

Looks like a local outbreak of measles in Victoria, Australia as well. Feels like somewhat of an international outbreak, perhaps because so many populations swallowed too much antivax propaganda the last few years?

Victoria DOH: Local outbreak of measles in Victoria

"...Five further measles cases have been identified in Victoria. Two of these cases are locally acquired and linked to the recent local outbreak reported in February. Three cases acquired their infection overseas in Bali. These cases have been infectious at multiple locations around Melbourne...."
