An international traveler to Colorado has tested positive for measles. The adolescent arrived at Denver International Airport on Dec. 13 and visited several counties in the state in the past week.
Arapahoe County Public Health is leading the investigation with state and other local public health agencies to notify those who have been directly exposed.
The adolescent arrived at DIA on Dec. 13 and there could have been possible exposures in the A Concourse, bridge security or baggage claim from 4:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. on that day.
The patient then went to the emergency department at Children’s Hospital Colorado on Monday morning. The adolescent has an unknown vaccination status and has been in isolation since Dec. 18.
The last confirmed case of measles in a Colorado resident was January 2019.
I’ve never understood the pro-measles movement. Anti-measles has been a virtually universal stance for decades, and I haven’t heard a single good argument in favour of measles.
You don’t understand because you’re not engaged in tortured manipulation or outright denial of germ theory like a ton of woo-woo anti vax morons are, which is a good thing.
I can’t understand being that…stupid. I can’t even think of a better or more polite word.

Mine had worn off or hadn’t stuck. I only noticed because I was getting travel vaccines and they offered to “double check” everything for peace of mind (it was free or low cost at my doctor’s office).

It’s not true that most people lose their immunity. Some do. But yes, if you’re in, say, your 30s or older, it’s best to get a titer to check if you still have antibodies to fight measles.
There is PRO-measles MOVEMENT???
In all but name, that’s what antivaxers are.
