  1. …Experts said the #Trump admin’s response [to the #measles outbreaks] — which has NOT included ANY national push to increase #vaccination rates — has done the #US no favors.

    …Dr. Jonathan Temte, a former chair of the #CDC’s #vaccine advisory committee, said∶ “We have seen virtually no national messaging. We’ve seen no ad campaigns.” He added, “I think that really tells us something about their priorities.”

  6. The outbreaks have taken a steep #economic toll, as #state & #local #PublicHealth departments strained to track down everyone exposed to the #virus, start #vaccination campaigns & analyze tests. Researchers have estimated that in 2025, each #measles case cost the #US more than $100,000, when factoring in #HealthCare spending & the days of missed work for sick people or caretakers.

  11. While many of the #children who became ill were vulnerable to the #virus because their parents opted them out of the #measles #vaccine, local health departments have also reported several cases in babies too young for the shot & people with #health conditions that make them ineligible for the vaccine [they contract the #disease by being exposed to the dummies refusing #vaccination].

  16. #Children have borne the brunt of the #infections, making up >70% of confirmed cases. >80 children & adolescents have been hospitalized this year for complications like #pneumonia, which leaves patients gasping for air, & #brain swelling, which can cause lasting damage, including #blindness, #deafness & intellectual #disabilities. (There are NO treatments for #measles, though researchers are trying to develop them.)

  21. While the latest national data shows that about 93% of kindergartners have received the #MMR shot, that protection is uneven∶ Some communities have #vaccination rates approaching 100%, while others have rates below 80%.

    #Measles, one of the most #contagious #diseases, is exceptionally good at exploiting those pockets with weak immunity.

  26. More #measles cases have been reported in the #US in the last 2 years than in all the years from 2000–2024 combined.

    Reversing course on measles would require a nationwide push to improve #vaccination rates, a prospect that experts said seemed unlikely under the leadership of “Health” Secy #RFKJr. He has halted #funding for #vaccine hesitancy research, downplayed the risks of measles & spearheaded a hunt for evidence that #vaccines are unsafe.
