I wish other countries would ban muricans at the airport due to them posing a health hazard...

The answer to the OP's question is “this is what happens when stupid people elect a stupid president who appoints stupid health officials.”. The cure is simple, stupid people can't vote or at least stupid people can't be candidates.
The biggest problem is money in politics. Money means rich people get their way.
They want people just smart enough to press buttons on the rich person's factory floor but stupid enough to vote how rich person's news channel tells them to vote.
There are probably enough people that aren't so stupid that you could educate them enough to vote in their interests if you can get to them against all odds. You just have to get through the social media algorithms and mass media blockade that are completely against change that would hurt their owners profit.
The cure is simple, stupid people can’t vote or at least stupid people can’t be candidates.
How democratic of you.
It's Democracy+™. Hopefully in the future we'll realise how dangerous and barbaric giving the stupid the vote was
Who's going to decide who is smart and who is stupid?
AI, obviously
Drp 'em naked on isolated island for 5 days.
Will also filter too old people.
I have no doubt that since this is on Fox News that Dems are somehow to blame.
RFK Jr would blame on people reading poetry or something like that. Probably just reading in general.
Reading causes autism!
there's this study that tells you that reading corrupts your neuron pathways in the brain. Don't do it, man! Keep the sanctity of your brain's neuron pathways intact!
Hmmm, who is making money off of Measles cases, I refuse to believe that this was done for entertainment alone. You don't even have to tell the truth, just be reasonable and throw me a line. thank you
if only there was some kind of substance you can inject into your body that stops or reduces the amount of cases.... Wishful thinking i guess.
Ivermectin? Bleach? Sulpheric Acid? C'mon you gotta get creative! /s
Bleach enemas cure autism!
It washes out all the tylenol!
Yes, but how is this biden’s fault?
MAGA.
So sick of living on clown planet.
Clown planet invented the measles vaccine, so... good luck off-world
clown country
I can’t believe Biden personally injected these people with measles.
I'm Canadian even, and I've often spotted Joe Biden lurking around my home, hiding behind the bushes. He often carries a syringe full of what I can only assume is some deadly disease or another, and a large burlap sack with a question mark on it.
I've noticed Joe Biden stealing jobs from my neighbours, which he places into the burlap sack, as well as money, babies, and other various items.
I try to avoid him, and have thus far been successful, but I fear that one day he'll either steal my job or infect me with some deadly disease.
Thanks Obama!

between measles and covid, there are a lot of people walking around who are immuno-compromised now & don't even know it yet, beyond a vague idea that they don't remember being sick so often before a few years ago.
i really hope that the us swings away from fascism & eugenics and moves towards things like free healthcare asap, because it really doesn't have to be like this.
the huge cheers from all sides for the death of a healthcare ceo really shows that there are basic needs like healthcare & housing & UBI that have broad support, far beyond what culture war BS would have people believe, imo.
free healthcare asap,
Treason!
Sick for the second time in less than a month, and I got my flu and covid vaccines a couple months ago... these guys are ruining flu season for everyone, not just themselves. Admittedly, I could be better about wearing my mask regularly, but I try to whenever I'm in a really congested train or spot.
even occasionally masking is better than nothing, it's breaking those chains of transmission! 💪
unfortunately, the covid vaccine only really prevents the worst outcomes (hospitalisation & death) for about 4-6 months, it doesn't prevent transmission or long covid.
i've got my fingers crossed for a vaccine that does prevent transmission or long covid, but in the meantime, wearing a well-fitted mask really does work!
Look at Fox News bragging.
This is part of a larger anti intellectual issue that has been plaguing the U.S. for decades.
Centuries, probably.
I have always related to this Isaac Asimov quote from 1980:
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
I've heard this used as an argument against democracy more times than I can count. Nevermind that vaccination is overwhelmingly popular or that the anti-vax policies have to be jammed down the public's throat.

Idiots! Percent only goes up to one hundred, dummies. Big pharma isn't even hiding it anymore...
- antivaxxers right now, probably
I know you’re clowning, but don’t forget that the actual fucking President of the United States tried to claim that drug prices were down 700% just earlier this month and that gullible swamp of sycophants just gobbled it up.
wait, so y'all americans are gonna get paid for taking drugs? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.

While this is awful, it's also cherry-picked data. There were 1,274 cases in 2019, and 667 cases in 2014, for example. Last year in 2024 there were only 285.
I suspect 2020, which had the lowest measles infection rate in the US in all of recorded history, was so low only due to covid and people isolating much of the year.
1912 / 285 = ~6.7
So yes it's cherry picked data but totals are at 670+% of last year and the year isn't finished yet
RFK is going to end up causing a pandemic of something eventually and will go down in history for it
