Trump officials sowed fear and confusion among CDC scientists, slowing their response to the measles outbreak in West Texas. Cases surged and sparked new outbreaks across the U.S. and Mexico. Together, these linked outbreaks have sickened more than 4,500 and killed at least 16 in the U.S. and Mexico.

      Not really. The antivax people will explain away the deaths using some SovCit level thinking.

      My brother is one of these people and he is unwilling to see it as a problem.

      True. Don’t call them low-information voters. They got what they wanted.
