MEASLES OUTBREAK EXPLODES Across Southwest — Hundreds Infected, 2 Dead, and Texas on HIGH ALERT!

A terrifying health crisis is sweeping across the Southwest United States — and El Paso is right in the middle of it. Health officials have confirmed that a rapidly spreading measles outbreak has infected over 500 people across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas, and tragically claimed two lives since it began in January 2025. 😷 The CDC has declared the outbreak the worst in over a decade, and El Paso hospitals are now operating on high alert as they brace for more cases. Emergency rooms are seeing a spike in patients with rashes, high fevers, and respiratory issues — all classic signs of measles. 📉 The cause? Experts say it’s largely due to a drop in vaccination rates, fueled by misinformation and vaccine hesitancy. In some El Paso communities, childhood immunization rates have dropped below 80%, creating the perfect conditions for the virus to spread like wildfire. 🔬 “This was entirely preventable,” said one infectious disease expert. “We knew this would happen if vaccination rates kept falling. Now it’s here — and people are dying.” Local schools have begun sending unvaccinated students home, and some daycare centers have shut down temporarily. The city has launched a mass awareness campaign, and pop-up vaccine clinics are being deployed in high-risk neighborhoods. 🚨 On social media, panic is growing. Parents are posting photos of sick children and warning others to stay home. Conspiracy theories are spreading just as fast, with false claims about vaccine side effects making the rounds — again. If the outbreak isn’t contained soon, health officials warn it could become a statewide — or even nationwide — public health emergency.
