Clearly this is all going according to plan.
South Carolina is dealing with a serious measles outbreak. Six hundred forty-six people have been diagnosed so far, including 88 new cases Tuesday. And it’s not just kids: 84 students at Clemson and Anderson Universities are quarantined with a vaccine-preventable disease that gets deadlier the older you are.
Tuesday also marked one year since the first reported measles case last January. If these cases are linked, the U.S. will lose its measles-eradicated status for the first time since 2000. Congratulations, crunchy MAHA moms.
Last year saw 2,242 cases; we’ve already had 171 in just 20 days this year. Herd immunity works. Ignoring it doesn’t. And if people start dying, it won’t be bad luck—it’ll be negligence.
