Example of worm damage: absolutely false statement about measles infection control.
See below a table comparing 2026 to date against 2025 -- not a good trend, and both years insanely worse than 2024.
It's impossible that the US could experience 75% of last year's measles infections within four months and lead the world in limiting the spread of the disease.
