Salt Lake County likely has a new one, too—the first for the county this year—as well as possible exposures. But, they can’t confirm it.

County health officials said that a health care provider in the area contacted them late on Monday to tell them about a patient who very likely has measles. The officials then spent a day reaching out to the person, who refused to answer questions or cooperate in any way. That included refusing to share location information so that other people could be notified that they were potentially exposed to one of the most infectious viruses known.

“The patient has declined to be tested, or to fully participate in our disease investigation, so we will not be able to technically confirm the illness or properly do contact tracing to warn anyone with whom the patient may have had contact,” Dorothy Adams, executive director of Salt Lake County Health Department, said in a statement. “But based on the specific symptoms reported by the healthcare provider and the limited conversation our investigators have had with the patient, this is very likely a case of measles in someone living in Salt Lake County.”

Measles is extremely infectious. It is spread through the air and can linger in the airspace of a room for up to two hours after an infectious person has left. Among unvaccinated people, 90 percent will become infected if exposed. Two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) are 97 percent effective at preventing the infection, and that protection is considered lifelong.

>>1454063 (cont)
Nicholas Rupp, a spokesperson for the county health department, told the Salt Lake Tribune that officials were at least able to notify people who might have been exposed at the health care provider’s office. However, the patient with the suspected case wouldn’t even share their address with the health officials.

The rejection of the health officials’ efforts, as well as the resurgence of a bygone vaccine-preventable illness, reflect growing trends across the country to distrust and disregard public health, as well as embrace anti-vaccine misinformation and rhetoric. These trends have only been exacerbated by the confirmation of prominent anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the country’s top health official. Kennedy’s decadeslong work of spreading deadly misinformation about lifesaving vaccines helped set some of these trends into motion.

To date, the US has recorded at least 1,648 measles cases since the start of the year, the highest case count in over three decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There have been 43 outbreaks in the country, which account for 87 percent of the cases. The outbreaks and cases have spanned at least 41 states.

Measles was declared eliminated from the US in 2000, meaning it no longer spreads continuously in the country, though it is occasionally introduced by travel-related cases. This elimination status can be lost if the virus is found to have spread continuously over a 12-month period. Given the continued outbreaks and spread amid slipping vaccination rates, health experts expect the US to lose its status in the near future. Canada, which has had similar trends to the US, is poised to lose its elimination status this year.

Vaccines are bad, Trump said so even though he still gets vaccines. Maybe he just wants people that listen to him to die...

>>1454062
Hunter Biden caused this

>>1454062
The worst part is this is literally self-harming retardation. They're not asking for your address so they can inject trackers in your skin; they're asking so they can warn all the fucking people you interacted with they might get measles. You're literally sacrificing your friends and family to potentially getting themselves and their kids sick with an awful disease out of sheet paranoia and contrarianism.

that area is a weird mix of natives, Mormons, and outdoor fitness enthusiasts.

>weekly nothingburguer

Vaccines and Trump cause autism.

All of those outbreaks are caused by illegals

>>1454105
Illegals get vaccinated lmao. It's actually quite easy to do here; only a retard would refuse.

>>1454112
>Illegals get vaccinated lmao.
lmao no they don't

>>1454113
Most people actually don't like getting measles, did you know that?

>>1454117
Your treasured South Americans, Africans, and Middle Easterners don't even shower and you think they're lining up to get regular vaccinations?

>>1454119
Yes? Even in Africa measles vaccination at +70%. Turns out if you give people a single shot that will prevent them from catching a disease that's killed millions of people, they'll take it. Especially when it is widely and cheaply produced and given for free.

Meanwhile, enough retards in the US have decided they love measles so much we're on the verge of having it being unextinct in the US.

>>1454117
NTA, did the 11 million illegals Biden let into the country get vaccinated for anything - especially COVID? And if so, please demonstrate a source that confirms this.

so the shills can't even decide if they're pro or anti vax now? what a sad state of affairs

>US border officials record "encounters" with migrants - these include people who attempted to cross illegally and people who tried to enter legally but were deemed inadmissible.

>These encounters have risen to record highs under the Biden administration but not to the level Trump - who has not provided a source for his claim - maintains.

>Since January 2021, when Joe Biden came to office, there have been more than 10 million encounters - about 8 million came over the southwest land border with Mexico.

>Under the Trump administration, there were 2.4 million encounters on this border.

>Encounters fell at the start of 2020 as arrivals slowed because of the pandemic.

>The number of encounters is not a count of individuals who stay in the US as some migrants will be returned and the same person can be recorded trying to enter multiple times.

>These figures don't include people who may have crossed the border undetected.

>The US Department of Homeland Security has estimated there were 11 million illegal migrants living in the US as of January 2022.

>It says about a fifth of them arrived in 2010 or later but the majority arrived before this time, some as early as the 1980s.

LMFAO EVEN

>>1454162
There's a good chance those immigrants actually have more vaccinations than the average burger. MMR is standard issue for example.

This is a level of antisocial behavior causing a level of damage people should die in prison for. Fuck freedom of speech arguments. This is worse than misprision and we criminalize that shit. Outbreak investigations are routine bullshit. I've been the first case for a whooping cough investigation before that ended up being kept to like half a dozen cases. There is no excuse for this.

>>1454195
They don't care. Americans dying is seen as a net gain for them. Less peasants to manage.

>>1454196

Your right to shut the fuck ends where my right to not be unknowingly infected with a dangerous illness by you begins.

Unless you'd be okay with someone driving a big rig through your house and driving off without so much as a note, shut the fuck up.

>>1454202
You are literally endangering everyone around you, and everyone subsequently around the people around you since they won't realize they were exposed. This is equivalent to refusing to say where you dropped an armed explosive; you're risking untold damage to the public because you're a contrarian.

>>1454209
You chose to leave your house and enter the public square like the rest of us. You don't get to demand that the rest of us stay home, though.
Go back to your safe space, faggot.

>>1454215
>Wah wah just let me spread disease to people! It's my right!
You don't have a right to make people sick. You infringe on other's health by refusing to tell anyone you're sick with something infectious and going out in public anyway. This is legitimately a crime.

>>1454207
Again, I must point out that even third world crapholes have robust vaccination programs, because they're not particularly expensive, are frequently aided by NGOs, and are the easiest way to maintain public health.

No one cares about these fake nothingburger Democrat plagues.

>>1454244

That's how epidemics get started.

>>1454218
Now demonstrate these tens of millions were vaccinated. Or else shut the fuck up forever about Republicans refusing the jab.

>>1454260
Well I have one party who might not be vaccinated, and one that is intentionally not getting vaccinated.

Yeah I think it's safe to call the Republicans who have every ability to get vaccinated but refuse to plague rats.

>>1454218
That's just not true. Can you stop lying for just one post? Who do you think are catching measles? Hint: it's not white people. Mexicans are universally known as a dirty race, even by south Americans

>>1454262
Not him but your racist delusions aren't real.

>>1454265
Nothing I said is racist or untrue. Camping me a racist means you know you're wrong. I accept your concession

>>1454265
Its a good thing they accepted your concession that dirty white kids are the ones catching measles
But its not their fault their parents have MAGA brain rot, its only their parents fault that they're catching an easily preventable disease in order to stick it to imaginary mexicans.

Actually, when the rate of vaccination for people who refuse vaccines is 0%, literally even a fraction of immigrants having acquired some kind of vaccination makes them better than retards. Nevermind how these are basic bitch vaccines even the most low-income communities in the depths of Africa have at a 70% rate.

Well, illegal immigrants are saints.

>>1454293
>Actually, when the rate of vaccination for people who refuse vaccines is 0%,
Except that's wrong you fucking retard. They still get vaccinated for other stuff, like polio, MMR, etc. They just refused to take an experimental vaccine that hadn't been properly tested that was being forced on the public.

We're going to see an outbreak of Rubella in the future because you're letting in millions of third-world carriers - and you're bitching at me for refusing the jab when I'm not even allowed to sue the fucking company if there's health complications afterwards? Get fucked.

>>1454328
>They just refused to take an experimental vaccine that hadn't been properly tested that was being forced on the public.
It's been 5 years. How long is proper testing supposed to last? They're just antivaxxers.

>>1454330
Myocarditis and other negative health effects are still being observed, logged and considered from "THAT" vaccine.
But yes, there are some misguided people who don't want any vaccines. I think they'd make a great care study group tbh.

>>1454330
Not five years, closer to at least two decades. mRNA vaccine technology has been in development for ages, Covid just gave the world a swift kick up the arse and forced them to actually invest in it. It was originally developed to counter stuff like SARS (don't say it), which is a respiratory disease closely related to Covid-19, so the framework was already there. That's one of the reasons why they got the vaccine operational in just a year. The other reason is that mRNA vaccines are highly 'modular', being far easier to safely adapt for any disease you would want to counter in a short time. It's even got signs of working on fucking cancer.

>>1454332
>Myocarditis and other negative health effects are still being observed
Yes, and? All vaccines have side effects. Also observed is a significant reduction in mortality, including in young men, the only group to see the observed increase in myocarditis. The vaccine makes young men more likely to die of myocarditis, but less likely to die overall.

Also, you are literally more likely to get myocarditis from COVID than the vaccine.

You didn't answer my question. How many years of clear data showing the shit's safe and effective do we need before it stops being "experimental"?

>>1454334
Anon they're still blaming 80 year old men dying of old age on their being vaccinated five years ago.

>>1454334
>All vaccine have side effects
So, what you're saying is these people are trading side effects for lack of immunity and you don't approve of their judgement call, despite being vaccinated yourself. Fucking Karening like a little faggot.
As far as "THAT" vaccine, what if you're a younger person 99.99% of which would have no symptoms and the vaccine gave you myocarditis? Good trade? Not really.
>>1454335
Well, that was also the demographic that died from Covid mostly as well. But no, it was younger males who suffered the most side effects from that vaccine.

>>1454338
>So, what you're saying is these people are trading side effects for lack of immunity and you don't approve of their judgement call, despite being vaccinated yourself.
Yes. I had to take a medical withdraw from college for whooping cough despite being vaccinated myself. Vaccines aren't 100% effective. That's why it's best for as many people as possible to be vaccinated.
>As far as "THAT" vaccine, what if you're a younger person 99.99% of which would have no symptoms and the vaccine gave you myocarditis? Good trade?
You made safer the people around you, who you presumably care about if you aren't a friendless unloved misanthrope with no family, so yes. Hell, some of those people might even not be young.

It's good, actually, to protect your loved ones.

What I'm getting from your tone is that you actively hate all of humanity and would rather it die to protect yourself from even the mildest risk of harm. You're welcome to your shitty personality and behavior, but don't expect anyone to respect you or your opinions or your misplaced offense, nor should you expect people to stop calling you a shit-eating ass-hat that should reform or die, whichever comes first.

Also you don't know what a Karen is.

>>1454339
Horseshit.

>>1454339
>You made safer the people around you, who you presumably care about if you aren't a friendless unloved misanthrope with no family, so yes.
Anon, we're on 4chan. That aside, I shouldn't be forced to take an experimental vaccine that just got released that year on the rare chance I might encounter some 80-year-old. You'd have more of an argument for someone working in healthcare or services, but when we're forcing online college students to take the jab it's clear someone's lost the plot. Not to mention this is forcing people who are ideologically opposed to this. If blue states want to make it mandatory then more power to them. People in red states tend to hate big government, so that same big government threatening people into taking the vaccine is naturally going to provoke the opposite response.

tl;dr this could've been handled better.

>>1454340
Horseshit doesn't cure covid either, shill

>>1454341
there were people with exempt status who didn't get the vaccine, just like with any other immunization that's standard requirement. catering to the ignorant because their minds have been poisoned by people like you isn't in any way expedient to anyone, including the brainwashed. tldr i guess we have to centralize the internet so you faggots don't poison the well anymore, too bad, it was fun while it lasted

>>1454341
>Not to mention this is forcing people who are ideologically opposed to this
Should I mention that not only did a certain someone say 'I got the Pfizer' as well as order a little something called 'Operation Warp Speed', but recently received the booster vaccination? If their Ideologue-in-Chief Trump wasn't opposed to such, what's their excuse? He's still alive, I'm still alive after the initial vaccination & three boosters, 1.3 million Covidiots are dead in the US so they don't have the right to any excuses, they have to be more than forced to be vaccinated, and like it.
tl;dr: Contraritards don't have the right to be. Earth isn't flat, birds & Australia exist, all your opinions are wrong and you don't have the right to not be vaccinated.

>>1454346
Some like you're butthurt. I never got any covid vaccines and I've never been vaccinated for anything else because my parents loved me. I haven't had either of my children vaccinated either. I'm definitely healthier than you. You may now cope

>>1454351
>Some like you're
Sounds like you're the shill who is ESL

>>1454328
>They still get vaccinated for other stuff, like polio, MMR, etc.
Yeah we're not talking about people merely opposed to COVID you retard. We're talking people who outright refuse the measles vaccine.

>>1454351
>I'm definitely healthier than you
Actually, one of us will experience the full effects of measles, the other won't.

>>1454267

>>1454364
I'm not Trump, so the question still stands:
>1.3 million antivaxxtards dead in US

So who's wrong, Trump or you?

>>1454365
And the answer still stands. You're still incorrect for saying I don't have a right to not be vaccinated.

>>1454366
And the question still stands, but thanks for admitting you're wrong by deflection when all you had to say was either 'Trump's wrong' or you admitting you're wrong. Which of course by you being reduced to deflection you've admitted that it's you that's wrong when all you had to do was say it's either Trump or you >>1454366 that's wrong.
But like Trump who's still alive to this day and 1.3 million US covidiots who aren't, how can I be wrong when, like Trump, I got the Pfizer?
