This year’s spikes in measles cases could cause the U.S. to lose its “elimination status” by next year after the CDC reports nearly 2,000 cases and 50 outbreaks nationwide.

    The USA, technically, eliminated measles about 20 years ago. They will likely lose the elimination status next year thanks to anti-vac stupidity.

    They’re not the only ones. Canada has already lost elimination status this year.

    Elimination status ends when an outbreak lasts 12 months or longer.

      Wait until they decide Smallpox should be re-released “to build up our immune systems naturally.”
