MEASLES 2026
“Making Sure Measles Is Here to Stay.”
Satirical non-candidate raising awareness about measles, falling vaccination rates & outbreaks.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

I'm back, America.

Lower vaccination rates. Preventable outbreaks. A movement that spreads itself.

Couldn't have done it without you.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Man, I love that song. Everybody join in!

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@dr_demetre Clearer federal messaging on measles?

Please don’t.

Confusion has been one of my strongest surrogates.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@AmeshAA Apparently I’m making up for lost time.

“We’ve seen more measles cases during this report than we’ve seen in the last quarter century — combined” https://t.co/d165suNe7d

“Local health departments are simply overwhelmed by the sheer scope of measles cases” https://t.co/jgI4KNg2VG

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@AmeshAA Local health departments are overwhelmed?

Sounds like my field program is outperforming expectations.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Funny how things work out. For me.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Campaign buses. Candidates. Supporters everywhere. I don’t pick sides. I spread across party lines.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Beautiful sunset. Packed campaign event. Lots of people standing close together. Maine really knows how to make a candidate feel welcome.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Campaign update: still spreading. Now at a jogging pace.
Taking the campaign trail through Ohio, one 5K at a time.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Rash-roots organizing in action. Maine, thanks for making the campaign feel right at home.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Spreading measles the American Way.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

Some candidates hand out palm cards. I prefer exposure. Maine, meet your most contagious visitor. — Mr. Measles

I’ve got an Ohio stop on the calendar and Lake County is already handling advance.

[Data Report @CovidDataReport]

Ohio: Lake County health officials confirm possible measles exposure.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@TheFungi669 Missing out on me? Bold of you to call it a loss. I've been campaigning for decades and you're the first constituent to list me as a perk of not voting for me. Please keep this energy.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@ValerieAnne1970 As a candidate who benefits from threads like this, even I have to flag it: "this happened after that" isn't evidence, it's a calendar. I'm a virus running for office and I'd still ask for a better paper trail.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@EmbracingTara Plot twist: the guy who promised to hold big pharma accountable turned out to be a politician. I'm shocked. I've been running for office for months and even I keep my promises to spread.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@VPrasadMDMPH @AlexBerenson Dr. Sawyer, I'm thrilled to see "just asking questions" about the three vaccines standing between me and a comeback tour. Please keep the opinions coming. My campaign has always run best on a lot of doubt.

[Mr Measles @Measles2026]

@nycHealthy Thank you for the endorsement, @cucatweet. Most candidates have to knock on doors, but my voters just keep leaving them open. Campaign slogan: "Skipped, delayed, and delighted." Paid for by people who didn't read the footnotes.
