Caroline Orr Bueno reports that ProPublica contacted the CDC to ask why it suppressed a report warning that the risk of measles is higher in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lower.
CDC responded,
“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one." As Bueno notes, this echoes HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s own language about vaccination.

“Not Just #Measles”: #WhoopingCough Cases Are Soaring as #Vaccine Rates Decline
Measles #Vaccination Rates in Most States Were Below #HerdImmunity in #2023
Over 36 states have drop in rates for at least one key vaccine from 2013-14 to 2023-24 school years. And half of states have seen an across-board decline in all four vaccination rates. #Wisconsin, #Utah and #Alaska have experienced most precipitous drops during that time, with declines of more than 10% in some cases.

In the time before widespread #vaccination, #death often came early.
Devastating infectious diseases ran rampant in America, killing millions of #children & leaving others w/lifelong #health problems. These illnesses were the main reason why nearly 1 in 5 children in 1900 never made it to their 5th birthday.
