According to the study, the first person at the shelter to get measles was a one year old child who had been in the US for more than 5 months.
Symptoms usually appear about 7 to 21 days after exposure to the virus.
He did not bring measles into the country, he contracted measles here in the US.
There are fifteen States in the US that have a vaccination rate under 90%.
Illinois itself has a rate of 91.9%, but three of the States under 90% border on Illinois: Wisconsin, Missouri and Indiana.
That kid came here and then got measles.
He didn't bring measles with him.
As we would expect, (at least during Biden's term, prior to Trump) science and medicine prevailed:

CDPH implemented a rapid and comprehensive vaccination campaign at shelter A during March 8–10, within 1 day of confirmation of the index case (Figure). Staff members verified physical vaccination records and vaccination status in Illinois’ immunization information system. All nonpregnant residents aged =6 months without documentation of previous measles vaccination and residents aged =1 year who had received a first dose =28 days earlier were offered MMR vaccination.** Shelter staff members and community partners were engaged to communicate the importance of vaccination and were recommended to provide evidence of measles immunity themselves.
During March 8–10, records documenting previous measles vaccination were verified for 784 (44%) of the 1,801 residents, and 882 (49%) eligible residents received MMR vaccine. By March 11, a total of 1,666 (93%) of 1,801 residents at shelter A had documentation of receipt of =1 dose of measles vaccine. As of May 13, CDPH had led approximately 130 mass vaccination events across 25 Chicago migrant shelters and administered approximately 9,500 MMR vaccine doses, prioritizing the shelters that had previously received residents from shelter A (all of whom were presumed to be exposed) and shelters with pregnant women and young children. This strategy included additional vaccination events at shelter A beginning on March 25, with a focused second-dose vaccination campaign during April 8–10 (Figure).

There are currently two exposures noted in Illinois, one at an Aldi store in Crestwood, the other at O'hare Airport.
Both your claims, that Chicago (or Illinois) are measles sanctuaries, and that "illegals" brought measles to Chicago are things you just made up.
But then that's what you're here for. |
