      that some of these cases occurred among Afghan evacuees transported to the U.S.

      does not equal

      Last outbreak we had in Virginia tracked back to an unvaxed Afghani family. We need to push on entry we vax everyone.

        While your logic is fine, the comparisons are inaccurate. The source says “Multiple cases of measles have been confirmed among individuals who have arrived in the United States from Afghanistan.” Which sounds like they had measles before they got here. Though, the source isn’t explicit one way or the other.

        Wow, really? They were unvaxed coming from Afghanistan how hard is that to understand and a measles carrier? We used to quarantine ships (even Astronauts) to keep people safe and now days its a bloody free for all.

        The level of not understanding the source of the issue is mind blowing. If they were quarantined and vaxed after there would be no measles outbreak…
