A measles outbreak in Texas has grown to include 327 people. Nearly all cases are in unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown vaccination status, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). At least 40 people have been hospitalized so far.
Two unvaccinated people have died of measles since the outbreak. Only two of the cases have occurred in fully vaccinated people with the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, according to the data.
“Due to the highly contagious nature of this disease, additional cases are likely to occur in the outbreak area and the surrounding communities. DSHS is working with local health departments to investigate the outbreak,” the department said in a press release.
MEASLES PLANDEMIC UNDERWAY: Fake news Warning “Unvaccinated Children” Are Dying From Measles
According to a report by Natual News, The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have NEVER assessed how likely or unlikely a person is to get the measles or transfer it to someone else who has natural immunity to it because they either have a healthy immune system without vaccines or they already contracted the measles and have the best immunity in the world to it now – natural immunity.
This news comes as another case of measles was confirmed in New Mexico, bringing the total to 43, according to data from the state Department of Health. The majority of cases are in Lea County, which borders Gaines County, the epicenter of the outbreak in Texas.
According to a report by ABC News, in nearby Oklahoma, the total number of confirmed and probable measles cases has increased to nine, all among those who are unvaccinated or with unknown status.
The CDC currently recommends that people receive two vaccine doses, the first at ages 12 to 15 months and the second between 4 and 6 years old. One dose is 93% effective, and two doses are 97% effective, the CDC says. Most vaccinated adults don’t need a booster.
