The U.S. formally eliminated measles in 2000 thanks to widespread vaccination, but public health experts fear the current growing outbreak of the disease may allow it to reclaim its hold
I miss the days where antivaxers were just the bud of the joke. But in the pandemic they learned how to weaponise stupidity.
I remember talking to a guy way ahead of the pandemic who was raging that his kids shouldn’t be forced to be vaccinated. I said that i don’t get it, they should be vaccinated. He agreed, but because they were forced to, he doesn’t want to do it.
There are always those who aren’t able to vaccinated or the vaccine doesn’t work for them which is why herd immunity is so important. The anti-vaxers blithely put themselves first and increase the risks for all those who can’t get immunity. Pretty antisocial.
Measles is a disease of unvaccinated kids and we really had that licked but then came conspiracy and anti-vaxers.

And newborns that haven’t gotten the full complete shots.
