Are you fucking brain damaged?
Obviously the CDC knows more than I do about communicable diseases, that’s why I made that sarcastic reply while agreeing with their findings. You were the one that was questioning their language.
It flat out says in that quote the only new cases were from individuals that had traveled outside the country and contracted the disease there. That doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to spread otherwise, it means that it did not happen. That was up until a bunch of dipshits started deciding that they their kids didn’t need the measles vaccine.
The whole point of herd immunity is vaccinating everyone so that the probability of anyone catching it is so low that it is eradicated from the populace. If no one has it, there is nothing available to catch. If only a few people have it then the vast majority of vaccinated individuals either will not catch it or will have drastically diminished symptoms. This is not that difficult.
Measles encephalitis can do that to you, so if he’s not vaccinated there is a possibility.
