Congratulations to rightwing anti-vax forces: you've reintroduced a deadly, vaccine preventable disease back into American society.
In the last three weeks, 48 cases of measles have been identified, sending 13 patients to the hospital, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The number of cases has doubled in the last 3 days.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.
U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread
Johns Hopkins University data reflects the public health reversal in defeating the vaccine-preventable disease since measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.

Why take a perfectly safe vaccine to prevent getting sick when you can just get sick from a preventable disease and probably be fine but maybe die.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

The US is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in over 30 years, with 1,288 cases reported just six months into the year. The vaccine-preventable disease has led to three deaths, two children in Texas and an adult in New Mexico, and dozens of hospitalizations.

This is the antivaxer playbook: When someone dies of a vaccine-preventable disease pretend they died with it not of it. Pound the table. Allege a coverup.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised:
1. Get every vaccine you need
2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95).
These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.

The measles outbreak in West Texas didn't happen just by chance.
The preventable disease ripped through communities sprawling across more than 20 Texas counties in part because health departments were starved of the funding needed to run vaccine programs, officials say.

2. Significantly increased vaccine-preventable disease
3. Significantly increased pediatric deaths
