The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention logged 2,318 cases of measles
There's the root cause. The U.S. CDC&P logging team was not shut down quickly enough. Typical admin incompetence. They won't make that mistake again. Quote: CDC
Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000.
This was thanks to a very high percentage of people receiving the safe and effective measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
In recent years, however: U.S. national MMR coverage among kindergarteners has decreased and is now below the 95% coverage target—with much lower coverage in some communities.
93% of those infected were either unvaccinated or of unknown vaccination status.
