In the south of the United States, the number of measles diseases continues and gives Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. other advice. In the two particularly affected States of Texas and New Mexico, the number of things has increased to around 300, as the local authorities said. With a few exceptions, all sick people were not vaccinated.
According to the local authorities, the number of cases in Texas alone had to be treated to 259, 34 infected people in the hospital. A child died here in February from Mazelen’s disease. At that time there were measles shops in the state of 124.
The outbreak started at the end of January
According to the “New York Times”, the outbreak started at the end of January when two things were discovered in the national community of Gaines County on the western border of the state. From there, the measles jumped to neighboring New Mexico, where there was a death, but it has not yet been completely clarified.
Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who often had doubts about vaccinations in previous years, explained the importance of vaccinations in various interviews, but also described it as a personal decision. At the same time, in an interview in Foxnews, he claimed, for example, that vaccinations had side effects and there are also dead. Vaccination caused all diseases caused by measles, he claimed. In other interviews he referred to vitamin A and liver trans.
Vaccination is the best protection
The biology professor of Bryant University, Kirsten Hookess, was in contradiction with the ABC news channel: the best way to prevent measles is the vaccination. There is no evidence that the other proposed agents such as vitamin A have any effect. Immunology professor Scott Weaver from the University of Texas said in the same station that in the past there were practically no outbursts of measles because most people were vaccinated. There have been more outbreaks lately.
In Gaines County, where the outbreak began, the vaccination percentage is 82 percent, according to the PBS broadcaster. According to the US Health Authority CDC, outbreaks can be made if the vaccination percentage drops below 95 percent. According to Robert Koch-Institut (RKI), a herdly immunity of 95 percent of the population is also needed to eradicate measles.
Highly contagious and, in extreme cases, life threatening
Measles are among the most infectious infectious diseases and can be life threatening in extreme cases. Among other things, they are transmitted through drops and aerosols that are given, for example, while speaking, coughing and sneezing. The virus causes symptoms in almost all unprotected people. This includes fever, cough and the typical rash that spreads throughout the body.
