    "As cases and deaths mount from multiple outbreaks across the United States, a four-day Reuters/Ipsos poll completed yesterday shows declining trust in the safety of the measles, mumps, and rubella (#MMR) for children (76%, down from 84% in 2020). The deteriorating trust was most apparent among ." cidrap.umn.edu/anti-science/ne

    These deaths were preventable.

    3 deaths with less than 700 confirmed cases suggests this outbreak is much larger than reported (no surprise).

  17. As professionals who have had to reason and analyze antivax behavior, the comment that always stayed with me is that "People will remain willfully ignorant until it affects them directly".
    --
    As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

    For some vaccine-hesitant parents...who’ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.

    They’re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that it’s slowing down the outbreaks.

    I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.

  18. McMaster University: Study examines what Reddit reveals about measles’ return . “Rachel Zhou, a professor in the Department of Health, Aging and Society, studied thousands of Reddit conversations to understand how people made sense of the measles’ resurgence in 2025. The posts reveal more than opinions about vaccines, she says. They show how people remember – and forget – disease, how […]

  19. #US #vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your #school stands.
    Rocked by pandemic politics, the nation’s shield against infectious disease is shrinking.
    Before the pandemic, roughly half of counties had #kindergarten #vaccinationrates high enough to prevent #measles #outbreaks.
    After, many lost ground, leaving only about a quarter of the counties with #herdimmunity in kindergartners.

  20. @overholt This is an excellent reminder, thankyou!

    Somehow I assumed some vaccines need a booster every 10 or so years and other vaccines last for your entire lifetime. But, occasionally the protection they offer can wane over time. Imagine my surprise when a friend (who received the usual suite of vaccines as a young kid) was recently tested for immunity, and the result indicated they have little or no defence against measles. Naturally, they got a fresh vaccine immediately.

    There's a disturbing amount of science-denial and anti-vax nonsense going around. Predictably, this is leading to a sharp rise in highly-infectious communicable diseases going around in the community. I can only encourage people to ask their doctor about getting tested, protect themselves, and to do your part to boost herd immunity because it's an easy way to be being caring and protective of other people.
