Unvaccinated Migrants Fuel Dramatic Spike in Chickenpox Cases in Chicago
Story by Andrew Stanton  •

Unvaccinated migrants are fueling a surge in chickenpox cases in Chicago, local health officials said Thursday.

Nearly 400 cases of chickenpox in Chicago have been identified so far this year, with the past four weeks specifically marking an increase in cases, according to a health alert released by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH). From 2005 to 2022, the city averaged 53 cases of chickenpox per year, local television station WLS-TV reported.
 
The rise in chickenpox cases come as city officials across the country grapple with an influx of migrants. Migrants have been bused to several major cities as crossings remain high at the U.S.-Mexico border, but many officials say they lack the resources to cope with the increase. In Chicago, more than 25,000 migrants have arrived since August 31, 2022, according to city data.
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and leads to an itchy rash with small, fluid-filled blisters. It is often mild and non-life-threatening, but can become serious and lead to other health problems such as infected skin, dehydration, pneumonia or the swelling of the brain. It can also lead to death in rare cases.

When I was small, my mom took me to visit a family with a child she had heard had the chickenpox. Once I had it too, my mom took me to visit other kids. That was a normal thing to do back then.

Yes, mothers organized "infection parties," so that all the kiddies would get it over with.

The illegals are the gift that just keeps giving, aren't they?

Gee I just got vaccinated for it.  Weird.

But I do love the human immune system.

This is stupid.  The risk of adverse effects from the vaccine is higher than from the virus itself.  This is one vaccine the government (and health industry) should not be pushing.

I don't know of anyone who didn't have chickenpox. 
Let's see I had the usual childhood illnesses; measles and mumps .... now they mandate vaccines in order for your child to attend school. 

So...is this a different strain of chickenpox?

Nope.  Just another vaccine they can make money off of.
