'Amnesia' about measles risk and low vaccination rates have helped US infections grow

The article discusses the rising incidence of measles in the United States, attributing the increase to declining vaccination rates and a lack of awareness about the disease's risks. It cites data from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health showing that measles cases in 2026 surpassed those in 2025, reaching 2,321 reported cases by early July 2026. Experts warn that this trend threatens the U.S.'s measles-elimination status, which has been maintained since 2000. The piece highlights the virus's extreme contagiousness, noting that it can spread before symptoms appear and that even small gaps in vaccination create vulnerable communities. It also outlines potential severe complications, including hospitalization, pneumonia, encephalitis, and death.
