@pbsnews: The measles outbreak continues to grow with more than 220 cases and at least two deaths reported across the U.S. in 2025 so far. While the highly contagious disease was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, more people may be at risk now amid growing vaccine hesitancy. Unvaccinated people account for a majority of the cases now, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctors and public health experts say the best protection against the virus is vaccination by either the MMR vaccine or the MMRV vaccine. The CDC says that most people vaccinated with either of those vaccines are "protected for life." PBS News' William Brangham has more on the measles vaccine and how to know if you've received it. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #measles #vaccine #hhs #cdc #outbreak #rfkjr

It’s wild to me that people are willing to literally die on the anti-vax hill alongside non-experts. Like 🤯

I just had my MMR Titer drawn to see if I’m still covered and I am based on the results. I was born in 1965 and just wanted to be sure before traveling overseas.

He says “big measles outbreak” and then says 2 deaths. This is a big country with lots of people. Here’s a comparison: EVERY day 120 die in auto crashes. 120 deaths everyday.Where’s the noise about it

Why haven’t I heard anything from the American Medical Association? Are they OK with the public health crisis ? Are they not the authority on healthcare?

Born in 1961, just got a titer, no immunity, got a booster. That’s happened to several friends my age because we all got the inactivated vaccine in the 60s which probably didn’t confer immunity.

Had the mumps in the early 70’s along with one parent and 6 siblings. Had to have the mmr in middle school because we didn’t go to a doctor and they didn’t believe me or my parents.

Also, they didn’t give the MMR in the 60s, they gave a separate vaccine for measles, just for accuracy. As far as the MMR booster, there is very little medical reason not to get it unless you’re

Doesn’t getting measles cause your other vaccines to fail?
