This winter, the U.S. is experiencing a surge in measles cases. South Carolina is the epicenter of the outbreak, with over 960 confirmed cases, and the virus continues to spread, with 26 states reporting new cases this year. Last year, two children in the U.S. died from measles. Both were unvaccinated. We are seeing the consequences of declining vaccination rates, and, due to recent federal policy changes, parents need to brace for more disease risks for children.
This isn't an American crisis. It's an international one. My monthly ER podcast had a segment on polio because no one practising today other than some high level Infectious Disease specialists would recognize it if they encountered it.
