Seems like we're going backwards on LOTS of stuff.
"The United States is experiencing its worst measles outbreak since the disease was declared "eliminated" in 2000, with 1,277 confirmed cases reported as of July 5, according to Johns Hopkins University Center for Outbreak Response Innovation.
This figure has already surpassed the 1,274 cases recorded during the peak year of 2019, marking a critical public health milestone reached just halfway through 2025."
...
This outbreak directly challenges the nation's measles elimination status, achieved 25 years ago through sustained vaccination efforts.
...
The outbreak has resulted in at least 155 hospitalizations, affecting 431 adults and 824 children, with three confirmed deaths. Two elementary school-aged children died in West Texas, while one adult died in New Mexico—all were unvaccinated. The CDC confirmed that 1,267 cases were officially reported through their surveillance system as of Wednesday."
