Once eradicated from the United States, measles is now making a frightening comeback. In 2025 alone, we've seen a surge in cases across dozens of states, with major outbreaks igniting in communities with low vaccination rates.

This isn't just a global problem; it's a stark reminder of how quickly a highly contagious virus can resurface when our collective immunity falters. The question is no longer "will measles appear in the U.S.?" but "how do we stop this escalating crisis before it threatens every community?"

Haven’t we had a highly effective vaccine readily available for decades? Why are we still seeing significant measles outbreaks in almost every region of the world right now? Didn’t we eliminate measles in the U.S. in 2000? How quickly does it spread? So many questions.

Strap in - you’re leaving this episode knowing more about measles than you ever thought you should.
