Measles Resurgence Hits Record Levels | Oakland News

Description

Measles is roaring back in the U.S., smashing records with over 2,300 cases this year alone—more than any year since 1991. Outbreaks are spreading across nearly every state, fueled by unvaccinated kids, with South Carolina’s Spartanburg church becoming a flashpoint after a single attendee at a Christmas brunch sparked a massive outbreak. Contact tracing is a nightmare, and public health systems are drowning under the weight of managing cases that take weeks or months to fully contain. Experts warn: without vaccination rates above 95%, communities remain dangerously vulnerable to this highly contagious disease.
