First Dallas Measles Case Found in 'Fully Vaccinated' Woman
Does the MMR vaccine work?

Dallas County, Texas has reported its first 2025 case of measles in a woman who was fully vaccinated, raising questions about the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine’s purported efficacy.

The MMR vaccine contains a live virus that can infect the vaccinated and can be shed from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated (see below).

Officials with the Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) said on Thursday the resident is “a woman in her mid-20s who was fully vaccinated,” CBS News reported.

The woman was said to be contagious from May 30 through June 7.

“We are actively investigating this case and working to identify any individuals who may have been exposed,” Health Director Dr. Philip Huang said in a news release.

WTF? Everyone got measles when I was a kid, and no one died. It wasn't serious, and still isn't.

The measles vaccine does not necessarily work:

Vaccination doesn’t guarantee immunity against measles, according to a key official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Ralph Abraham, principal deputy director of the CDC, made the statement just days after the agency released a report showing that some of the people infected during an outbreak of the disease in Colorado last year had been vaccinated. ...

According to the report, the outbreak started with an unvaccinated person who arrived in Denver on an international flight, leading to the infection of 10 people in Colorado — nine secondary cases, or people who had direct contact with the infected person, and one tertiary case, resulting from contact with a secondary case.

Of the secondary cases, four occurred “among persons who had received 2 doses of measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR] vaccine before exposure,” according to the CDC. Four other cases involved people who were unvaccinated. All recovered.

I had the fucking measles as a kid. It was no big deal.

I had the fucking measles

"Fucking measles" sounds like a euphemism for VD.

Lol, like "spotted dick".

https://grokipedia.com/page/Spotted_dick

Spotted dick is a traditional British steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit such as currants or raisins, which give it its distinctive spotted appearance. It is typically served hot with custard.

The name derives from the fruit spots and "dick," a dialect term for a type of plain pudding, likely shortened from "puddick" or "puddog." The term has sometimes led to humorous misconceptions associating it with vulgar slang, prompting occasional renamings in public settings like school canteens.

So much propaganda.

Now I hear people under 40 speaking in hushed tones about "Chicken Pox" or, excuse me, the scarier "Varicella".

There were Chicken Pox parties and some mothers organized their work schedules in 2s to watch over half a dozen of us kids.

Which mostly consisted of lining us up for Caladryl (sp?) lotion.

And "Don't scratch that, it will scar!
