The article continues “ the past 18 months have seen more measles cases than the last 25 years combined.”

Wow!

Rookie numbers, rookie disease.

The Kennedys are known to have bad luck.. I'd say that chode is the worst of it... too bad it's on all of us.

He’s not responsible for this on his own. The collapse of the American educational system, and the resulting, mostly willful ignorance, shares the blame.

Yeah but nobody could have seen this coming

That turd looks like Measles personified

I’m sure with a little more effort we can make it a 40 year high!

Congrats, USA.

#USA#!!

I mean, look at the guy. He definitely belongs in charge of diseases.

RFK Jr worships Nurgle: confirmed

Muricans, this is what happens when you choose ignorance and pettiness above all

Republicans Now Responsible for 35-Year Record High in Measles: Add that to the salmonella risk, the flesh-eating parasite infesting cattle, and the explosive diarrhea outbreak.

Bad headline. It makes it sound like that flesh eating parasite only goes after cattle. It doesn't. The New World Screwworm can infect any warm blooded animal. The fact that they found infected cattle means that there almost certainly are infected wild animals. Wild animals that can carry the infection many many miles before they die from it and spawn screwworm flies in a new area.

That assumes that some rancher in the area doesn't decide to move their herd and transport infected livestock to another part of the country. That's one way the parasite moved north from Central America so quickly.

• July 3, 2023: Panama declared a state of emergency. Just days later, Costa Rica followed suit.
• By the end of 2024: Every Central American nation had identified cases of screwworm.
• November 22, 2024: Screwworm larvae were discovered in a cow at the Mexico-Guatemala border crossing, approximately 700 miles south of Texas.
• July 9, 2025: A detection [was reported] in Veracruz, approximately 370 miles south of the US border.
• September 21, 2025: [A screwworm case was reported in] Nuevo León, only 70 miles from Texas.

If you are in an area with a known infestation, be very carefull.

• Keep open wounds clean and covered, no matter how small or location on the body.
• Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants, hats, and socks to limit exposed skin.
• Use an EPA-registered insect repellent.
• Treat clothing and gear with products containing 0.5% permethrin.
• Sleep indoors or in rooms or tents with screens.

Also, watch for symptoms, which can include:

• Unexplained, painful wounds or sores that do not heal.
• A foul-smelling odor or bleeding from the site of the infestation.
• Seeing maggots or feeling movement in open wounds or sores or in the areas of the body such as the nose, mouth, eyes, ears, or genitals.

You may be wishing you only had salmonella or explosive diarrhea before this summer is over.

His brain worm:

If only we could have foreseen this when they hired an idiot off the street to be in charge of a nation's health! No medical expertise whatsoever and doesn't even believe in modern medicine!

I'm joining the war on disease! On the side of disease!

So what a bunch of people with common sense knew would happen ended up happening? Color me saw this coming.

America smells so great again.

But he solved autism!

Turns out it was the aspirin. Or whatever.

He should be tarred and feathered, but at worst he'll be allowed to resign with no penalties.

Is like he's playing Plague in.

Gov bad. Does nothing for me. /s
