The largest #measles outbreak by far is in West #Texas, where the #disease is spreading quickly in remote, rural areas where the #vaccination rates are low. The outbreak has also spread across the boarder into #NewMexico, but the outbreak there is moving more slowly due to higher vaccination rates.
Santa Fe, #NewMexico will be saying “Hands Off!” #HandsOff2025
This poor guy hangs around the neighborhood, always alone, and is often seen crossing the road around here.
His right antler is completely missing and he walks with a limp.
When he crosses the road it’s at a not-a-care-in-the-world pace, or, more likely, it’s the best the poor guy can do, given the limp. I fear an inattentive driver is going to run into him.
