Summary
A measles outbreak in western Texas has grown to 198 cases, with 39 new infections in the past three days, according to state health officials.
Most cases involve unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown vaccination status, and at least 23 people have been hospitalized.
A school-aged child, unvaccinated, has died—the first U.S. measles death in a decade. Health officials urge vaccination, as cases continue rising, especially in counties with high exemption rates.
The CDC is assisting Texas officials in containing the outbreak.

Man, people can be such a bunch of idiots.
Damn vaxxed people still getting it too tho?
I guess unvaxxed should be put in camps hmmm
200 is a damned small number in a population in any given metro area. 200 is stunning for a disease that should be nearly eradicated. Let us see how this plays out.
And they all drew two raffle tickets instead of just one: die now directly from the measles, or die years later from an encephalitis.
Bonus draw for men: You might not worry about producing offspring! Measles is also known as a gelding disease.

Ok, but it’s the OTHER symptoms that I’m worried about.
