Measles elimination status (we have had this since 2000) almost certainly gone. Second child (8 yo) dead from Measles. Outbreak continues and has spread to more and more states. Leadership more concerned with fealty to Trump & RFK Jr. than to the public. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/h...

A Second Child Dies of Measles in Texas

It is the second confirmed measles death in the U.S. in a decade. If the outbreak continues at the current pace, the nation may lose its “elimination” status.
