Incidentally,
they posted on the way out the door that the US has 1408 cases of the measles so far this year. Three deaths.
To put this in perspective, the most recent year higher than this was 1992. If this trend continues, an honest CDC would have to declare measles is no longer eradicated in this country.
Trump's 2019 outbreaks were over 1,200 but still not this bad. Only Trump is worse than Trump. Incidentally, 2019 was worse than 2018 was worse than 2017. 2020 was only an improvement because COVID caused everyone to be careful, slowing most major contagious diseases. Based on that trend, we should expect 2026 to be worse than 2025. In fact, if I extrapolate 2025->2028 from Trump's first term, which may not be what happens but based on their actions is what they want to happen:
2026 will see 4,470 cases
2027 will see over 14,000 cases and dozens of children dead
And 2028 would be the worst year since the 1970's
"You don't know it'll be that bad!"
I know Trump is
intentionally trying to make it that bad. He'll either get what he wants, a hundred dead children, or fail because the damage will be so bad even Trump supporters will say "you know what, maybe my professional medical doctor has a point about what might save the life of my firstborn child".
