Measles cases in the U.S. have hit a three-decade high, reaching the highest yearly total since 1992 in less than seven months, according to data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At least 1,288 measles cases have been reported across the U.S. just over halfway through the year, surpassing the 1,274 cases reported in 2019, when outbreaks in New York pushed the national case count to its highest level in decades at the time.

More than 90% of those infected with measles so far this year were unvaccinated or had an unknown vaccine status, according to the CDC. Two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine are 97% effective at preventing measles

 

Sometimes I wonder why I persist. Germists see it and bounce off it like it’s a brick wall …

 

Measles Cases Could Cost the U.S. Its Elimination Status. Here's What That Means And How Close We Are.

he U.S. has reported more measles cases in the first half of this year than in any full year since 1992, raising concerns that the country could lose its measles elimination status and undo a 25-year public health victory amid declining vaccine rates.


“It could affect U.S. citizens’ ability to travel to specific countries if they don’t want the risk of measles getting introduced to their country. It could affect other people’s ability to come visit the U.S. Other countries might require proof of measles vaccination before they can reenter their home country,” she said.

There could also be increased quarantine and isolation requirements, with potential economic fallout, she said.

 

LOL, nothing says freedom like forced vaccinations and quite sure most here would be in favor of taking the non vaxxed kids away from their dumbass parents.

 

Don't all or most states require vaccinations to attend public school?

 

While some are impervious, others do learn by repetition. Accordingly …

 

Measles never actually disappeared — it was rebranded through shifting definitions and diagnostic sleight-of-hand, much like polio. Now they're claiming a "return" to justify renewed panic. Notice how the photo frames the measles testing sign under the EMERGENCY banner? Subliminal fear theater.
