The recent spike in #measles cases is very concerning. “With two, maybe three deaths already, I don’t think it’s implausible that we’ll see more. The more [measles] cases there are, the more chances that some of those cases will be severe,” explained CHS Senior Scholar @cmyeaton.
#Measles deaths in the US have been ultra low for years. But with 3 deaths so far in 2025, it appears the country may be on a different trajectory — unless vaccination promotion is amped up and vaccination uptake increases.
