You have a nation that spends a trillion dollars a year to maintain the largest military in history. To keep Americans 'safe'. But can't demand that being safe means not letting disease run free in the place. The USA now has endemic malaria because states are too cheap to battle mosquitos.
And I have another nine months before I can get the measles vaccine. Oh joy. (I can't receive any live-but-attenuated-virus vaccines while I'm on my current immunosuppressive therapy, and any previous resistance I had is presumably long since wiped out.)
I firmly believe that the reason MAGA turned against the vaccines is because they came along just a hair too late to save Trump. Instead, Biden would get the benefits, which included a roaring economic recovery. That infuriated Trump's fans, and IMHO that's the reason, consciously or unconsciously, that they became so rabidly anti-vaxx.
Remember, Trump himself was all for the vaccines while they were being developed. For a short time after they started being distributed, he even tried to take the credit for their development, leading his acolytes on Fox News to cluck their tongues at Biden for not "sharing the credit" with Trump. But then his mob turned against them, and eventually he went along. Just a reminder that this guy sometimes follows the mob instead of inciting it.
I had every type of measles out there. And rubella. And chicken pox. And mumps. I did not get polio or small pox - because my mother made sure we got the vaccine when it became available. I am beyond disgusted with parents who do don't get their kids vaxxed.
Imagine telling a dispassionate alien species that we had essentially eliminated a major deadly disease, then brought it back again through viral stupid and paranoia.
My sister had the measles when she was, probably 6 or 7, so I was 4 or 5. I mostly remember her lying in a dark room until she recovered. My younger brother and I got the vaccine when it become available, a couple of years later.
Mrs Mild is unable to form (or keep forming) measles antibodies. She got boosters for measles and chicken pox a couple of years ago but wasn't able to create antibodies.

Doesn't measles also sometimes result in male sterility?
I had measles as a kid. Trust me, you do not want measles. I wonder if Gilmour and Rogers were referencing measles in "Comfortably Numb"?
"When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb"
If God wanted us to be vaccinated, wouldn't he have installed a chip for Bill Gates to track us from the time he created man?

Has anyone told these door doofuses that measles can cause infertility?
"How is Idaho not on that list yet?"
The Idaho gumint has done a pretty good job of crippling Public Health
Roy Zimmerman asks us to give measles a chance.

I had pretty much everything but encephalitis when I had measles. it's great to miss six weeks of middle school.

A lot of doctors have never seen a case of measles so this is actually a learning opportunity provided by Dr. Ladapo and Robert Fucking Kennedy Jr.
