On Feb. 24, the Kentucky Department for Public Health identified a confirmed case of measles in an unvaccinated individual with a history of recent international travel, the CDC said.
While infected, the individual attended a large religious gathering on Feb. 17–18, with an estimated 20,000 people there from other states and countries, the national agency said.
Measles is one of the most contagious human viruses and is almost entirely preventable through vaccination. However, it requires 95% vaccine coverage to prevent outbreaks among populations.

these people are determined to be a vector for disease and i'm tired of being polite about it
it sure as hell is on purpose, brought to you from the same people as "have children as weapons" who should get zero doubt that theyre trying to crash the planet to incarnate their god with blood sacrifice at this point, or serving as useful fools to the people who verifiably want that exact thing
i am so insane about having to pretend there arent supervillains
