The current US administration has been actively undermining the
public willingness to accept vaccines as an effective
disease-prevention measure, and these anti-vax efforts are
already having alarming results--such as a marked increase in
the number of measles cases.
I was a child before there was a measles vaccine. My mother saw
her three older children through simultaneous cases of measles
but my sister nearly died of it. I had measles too, with a fever
of 105'. Measles is often a very serious disease and can be
fatal. And yet there is this report (New England Journal of
Medicine, July 15, 2026):
