Migrants not responsible for Chicago measles, city says – NewsNation

“New arrivals didn’t bring measles to Chicago. It was circulating here, and they are vulnerable to it because many come from countries where they didn’t receive the vaccinations we in the United States do, and they’re living in congregate settings where it can spread more easily,” Chicago Health Commissioner Olusimbo Ige said. “We’re now doing the hard work to contain that spread.” Chicago remains the national leader in measles cases with more than 50 percent of the U.S. cases.

Sorry, not buying it Mr. Olusimbo Ige.

Measles was circulating before the immigrants arrived, it’s just that the ever-vigilant public health officials didn’t mention it until measles turned up in the illegal population.

Twenty three illegals catch measles – and the Big Lie they tell us is that “New arrivals didn’t bring measles to Chicago”.

And they wonder why we don’t trust public health officials anymore. They’re all propagandists, all of them.

Just like the clot shot – “safe and effective”. Open Borders means No Borders / No Country.

How could migrants bring measles to Chicago if the Biden administration checked the health of all these people before releasing them?

Sometimes correlation IS causation.
How come Chicago is never the national leader in anything good? I sense a pattern.

The timeline of the reemergence of measles shows us that, yes, the formerly eradicated disease did reappear since the country began to be flooded with illegals.

B.S. and who really believes this headline! How F*ing stupid do they think people are? Not a problem for YEARS and open borders to MILLIONS of illegal and unchecked immigrants what do you expect. They also are brining in other diseases that the cattle are getting contaminating our foods! People better wake up before it’s too late!

I worry what will happen when the music (taxpayer money) stops as in Margin Call.
