Ask PolitiFact: Is Texas measles outbreak linked to 'border'? No evidence, officials say

No evidence migrants to blame for Texas measles outbreak

Not even worth discussing. It’s linked to antivaxxers, full stop.
- That won’t stop the lower half of the country from blaming it on Mexicans
- I did not know politifact was antivax. I can't find any links supporting that.
  
  That's because they weren't saying politifact is anti-vax, but that the problem in Texas is anti-vaxxers, and asking a question in a headline means they know it's untrue. So politifact isn't doing anyone any service here, but they're not anti vax as a company.
If you don't want measles in other countries then you should fund USAID
- What if we're the other country and we don't want US Measles cases spreading up here.
It’s linked to morons in Texas.
No need to import diseases if you are not vaccinated against the basics.
Our measles cases in Canada are linked to travel in the US. Does that count
But are they gonna try to link em to sway the low info bougie organic mom crowd? Absolutely
The outbreaks borders are defined by where the idiots live.
There would be measles outbreaks in Mexico if this was the case, so of course its BS
They want to blame others for their incompetence.
