CDC issued an alert after identification of locally acquired malaria cases (P. vivax) in two U.S. states (Florida [4] and Texas [1]) within the last 2 months. Locally acquired mosquito-borne malaria has not occurred in the United States since 2003 when eight cases of locally acquired P. vivax malaria were identified in Palm Beach County, FL (1). Mosquito surveillance and control measures have been implemented in the affected area.

This is what happens when fucking antivaxers get a fucking voice. We need to start making vaccinations a requirement to do shit in this country. Require vaccinations for fucking everything (unless your doctor medically says you can't) Which in that case it's why we need heard immunity.

Goddamn polo making a come back because of these dumb fucks.
