Texas must create stricter quarantine requirements, increase the vaccine rate, and improve contact tracing to address this measles epidemic before it becomes a nationwide problem
So we're fucked then.
Wells said because the state can’t stop people from traveling
Hunh. Guess that's just for pregnant women trying to save their own lives, then, not for people trying to endanger everyone else ...
- Maybe they could borrow some resources from ICE and border patrol, who could use a break from deporting citizens.
- Has anyone pushed the whole travelling thing? I'd love to hear the mental gymnastics they do to justify holding women accountable for an abortion but not holding people accountable from spreading a disease.
  We all know it's oppression but I get a sick pleasure of watching them see the dichotomy, them trying to understand what the difference is, seeing that there is no difference but they need to justify one over the other, and then spewing some nonsense. For that split second, it's so fucking enjoyable.
Texas must create stricter quarantine requirements, increase the vaccine rate, and improve contact tracing to address this measles epidemic before it becomes a nationwide problem, warn infectious disease experts and officials in other states.
Ahh well, better luck next time
They're not saying this part out loud, but don't travel to Texas for 1-2 years.
- Heck, at this point I'd probably just advise avoiding it altogether
They want those terminally stupid Texan antivaxxers to quarantine and following sensible health and hygiene rules instead of holding Measle parties? Good luck with that, boys. Try teaching a pig to sing instead, the chances are way better.
Texas really said, "Nah lets play one of the classics"
Maybe someone build a wall and make texas pay for it?
Not before Fled Cruise lands w/ the fam in Cancun, though. Timing, people.
- Yeah, he’s really the canary in the coal mine. When he flees the state/country, you know shit’s bad…
Its gonna be a nightmare 6 months waiting for my kid to be old enough to get their measles shot before some dumbfucks get her sick because they prefer medical advice from crooked politicians instead of doctors.
I've got a buddy living out of state who is nicknamed Texas. I'm sending him this and blaming him for everything happening.
Everything's BIG in Texas!
Natural selection is still working.
