Despite the obvious don’t expect a tweet from Hillary Clinton admitting “the science is settled, the Earth is round, the sky is blue, and illegals are responsible for introducing expansive Measles infection”… Actually, expect the opposite – Carson is about to be savaged by the MSM for daring to point out the obvious.
(Via The Hill)  […]  Carson, a doctor considering a 2016 run for the White Hosue, said it’s a fact that people are entering the country illegally without being screened for measles.
While U.S. citizens who don’t get vaccinated are also a factor in this year’s rising number of measles cases, he said it’s “a combination of non-compliance [with vaccine requirements] and introduction into our society of people who perhaps haven’t been well screened.”
Carson said he wasn’t trying to speak in code when he was asked by CNN host Chris Cuomo if he was turning the measles debate into an immigration debate.
“It’s not code and I’m not trying to make it into any particular argument, I’m stating what the facts are,” he replied. “The facts are that there are people in our country who have become lax in terms of their vigilance, getting their kids immunized, and we have people coming in who are not necessarily being properly screened. That’s not making it an issue, it’s stating facts.”
Carson was unable to point to an example of someone in the country illegally who had caused a problem by not being vaccinated.
“Let me put it this way, if I found you somebody who came in from another country who had not been vaccinated and caused a problem, would that convince you?” Carson replied, before adding, “No.”
“It’s not to prejudice anybody, but we have to deal with reality, and if you have people coming into your country who have not been properly screened, who have not had the same kind of care as people in this country, I don’t think you have to be a genius to figure out that that could introduce some communicable problems,” Carson added.  (read more)

[…] In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control had thought that measles were eliminated in the US, but starting in 2008, cases began to climb. In 2014, the number of cases exploded to over 600, more than all reported cases between 2009 and 2013. The CDC also reported that cases reached a 20-year high in 2014.

The CDC determined that the number of cases grew in the US due to an influx of foreign immigrants.

There is no treatment for measles once it is contracted. Patients should stay hydrated as they ride the illness out. Authorities say the only prevention is widespread vaccination. (link)

 

♦ Tens of thousands of non-inoculated Mexican/South American children, and their families, have been using Obama’s open border policy to swarm into the United States.
♦ These kids/families, each with 90% no-show rates for the very first immigration hearing, then join public schools and daycare centers without consequence. After all, there is a three year backlog of cases to find.
♦ Then, not coincidentally, a big surprise – Enterovirus and Measles outbreaks occur almost immediately along a pattern of immigration flow.
♦ In 2015, there are now 98 cases reported in eight states and Mexico, including 82 in California.
