Rep. Ryan McKenzie (R-PA) blamed the deadly measles outbreak in Texas on immigrants,

…saying they “are bringing diseases into our country.” The opposite is true.

Mexico has confirmed 43 measles cases, 39 of which were recorded in the northern state of Chihuahua and linked to imported infections, Health Minister David Kershenobich told a news conference. So, in fact, unvaccinated Texans are exporting measles to Mexico.

While the Mexican government promotes the measles vaccine, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met with the families of two girls who had died from measles in West Texas—and raised doubts about the safety of vaccines. “He said, ‘You don’t know what’s in the vaccine anymore,’”

You have to ask where did Rep. McKenzie and HHS Secretary Kennedy contract their cases of stupid?

Will the government allow the viruses to be inoculated here?
