Another MAHA Update

2 min readSep 14, 2026

Look at this stunning graph of measles cases in the United States. The Trump Regime measles epidemic continues to rise.

The roughly 3,300 cases of measles *so far* this year is way more than the roughly 2,300 all last year. We are on track to double 2025s measles cases, which in turn was almost ten times the cases from the year before. The Trump Regime’s first two years will likely see measles increase by an astounding 20 times.

This week Pennsylvania confirmed a third death from measles. The third was of a 40 year old women. The three measles deaths *so far* this year equals the three measles deaths all last year. Six measles deaths in the Trump Regime, so far. Prior to the Trump Regime the average number of measles deaths per year in the United States was zero.

All six deaths were preventable. All six were in unvaccinated people. Most were infants or young children. Six fully preventable tragedies.

If measles were the only metric of Trump Regime failed healthcare policy and incompetence it would be bad enough. But it is not.

This year screwworms infest American cattle for the first time in decades.

Food born illnesses are also surging. While Cyclospora has deservedly received the most notice, increasing outbreaks of Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria are also being tracked. https://fox56.com/news/local/foodborne-illness-outbreaks-surge-in-2026-with-cases-reported-in-pennsylvania

All this brought to you by a Regime that campaigned on “Make America Healthy Again.” The disease inflation brought by this Regime represents as big a lie to the American people as the promise to eliminate price inflation.

This is the price of putting people in charge (like RFK Jr.) who are incompetent and have no experience or training in healthcare. This is the price of arrogant walking examples of the Dunning-Krueger Effect firing all the competent people. This is the price of granting an absolutely ignorant on public health issues DOGE head (Elon Musk) unlimited power to whimsically cut the CDC and FDA food inspectors and then laugh about it all. This is the price of putting anti-science morons, who pretend to be scientists, as they lie about vaccine risks and increase vaccine hesitancy in the United States.

These issues will only get worse. Next year will be worse. And God help us if another Covid strikes.
