    Low vaccination rates in Where-Woke-Goes-To-Die-Land are coming home
    to roost.

    There was a report the other day that NZ’s measles vaccination rates
    are also dropping. And this could particularly hurt our Pacific Island neighbours, who would have a tough time protecting themselves from an
    outbreak here spreading there.

    Compare Chicago <https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/03/chicago-battles-measles-with-calls-for-vaccination-in-contrast-with-florida/>,
    which is responding promptly and firmly with a vaccination campaign to
    contain the outbreak.

    I wonder how bad it’ll get: efforts in one state could easily be
    undermined by neighbouring Republican-run states (i.e. states who
    refuse to pull their socks up). Could we see other countries (like NZ)
    imposing travel bans on the US?
