Summary

Texas is grappling with a 90-case measles outbreak across seven counties, centered in Gaines County with low vaccination rates.

Another nine cases have cropped up in nearby Lea County, New Mexico, though no direct connection has been established.

Most cases are unvaccinated children under 18. Measles, among the most contagious viruses, can lead to high fevers, rash, pneumonia, and even fatalities.

Officials warn the outbreak could grow as vaccine-preventable coverage remains low.

      Ah, they’ll just use some tincture from some charlatan and give the pseudo medicine folks even more money
      There were many cases, where radicale people let their children or partners suffer, because of their own stupid beliefs.
