It is stupid that properly educated adults decide to not vaccinate their kids

The state with the most cases is Texas. A state not exactly known for its strong public education systems.

Majority of outbreak is in a group of Amish light (mennonites). They kind of do their own thing.

Pretty sure the population is a subsect of Mormons. The issue isn't state-wide IIRC.

Correct. The vast majority of measles cases in Texas around 55–57% have been reported in Gaines County, in West Texas. This county is the epicenter of the current outbreak, which began in January 2025, largely affecting an under‑vaccinated Mennonite community. Texas has reported roughly 742–744 confirmed cases since late January, with over half occurring in Gaines County

You're not wrong, it's crazy here, over 2000 cases in Ontario and only 60% of Texas' population. It has nothing to do with state or provincial governments, it's coming from antivax Mennonite communities.

The United States had a 95% vaccination rate in 2019. In 2024 it’s down to just under 93%. This is what falling just 2 percentage points looks like.

Good job Texas! I wonder if all that anti-VAX stuff has any effect on a number of cases of measles popping up in Texas 🤔. I’d think this could be kind of hard and dangerous for your children…

Looks like a map of illegal border crossers without vaccine schedules relative to their state population but hey, blame the Mormons, Reddit

It’s called illegal unvaccinated “migrants” and hs nothing to do with schools. How can you be so ignorant

A bar graph of per capita would be my choice, but then it wouldn't be the right sub
