I need to correct this misinformation:

The CDC did NOT report "300,000 migrants with communicable diseases." That figure doesn't exist in any CDC report.

Genomic sequencing of this outbreak shows it's the D8 strain that's been circulating in under-vaccinated US communities for years.

Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 (meaning no continuous transmission for 12+ months), but we've had outbreaks since then primarily in under-vaccinated communities.

The article explicitly states this outbreak is centered in Gaines County, where exemption rates more than doubled in a decade.
