In a Texas-sized plot twist, state health officials declared the 762-person measles party officially over since late January. Clearly, Verna L. Welch and the Texas Department of State Health Services showed those spots who's boss! 'The outbreak is over,' they confidently said on Monday, proving that even viruses can't survive the Lone Star Stateâs relentless hospitality â or maybe just its vaccines. No tea, just science keeping Texas safe, y'all. Because nothing says inclusive public health like shutting down a disease fiesta with facts and fierce commitment to community care.
