North Carolina Measles Surge Tied to Local Anti-Vax Stance, Not Border Crossings
NC MEASLES INFECTIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA by John Cole, politicalcartoons.com
Purchase Reprint Licensing
A political cartoon by John Cole depicts a North Carolina man blaming border crossers for bringing diseases, only to learn the measles outbreak stems from local anti-vax resistance in South Carolina. The image responds to rising measles cases tied to vaccine hesitancy rather than immigration. It uses two panels to contrast public rhetoric with reported facts on the outbreak. The cartoon highlights how claims about border-related illnesses overlook domestic factors driving infections.
