Measles Surge Threatens U.S. and Canada | Calgary News

Measles is roaring back with over 2,300 U.S. cases already this year—surpassing last year’s record and hitting the worst levels since 1991, with major outbreaks in South Carolina, Utah, and Arizona. Canada’s also seeing over 1,000 cases, losing its measles-free status. The surge? Blame falling vaccination rates—from 95% to below that threshold. Measles is super contagious, and when shots drop, vulnerable populations like babies and immunocompromised folks are at risk. And the real number? Experts suspect it’s way higher than reported—potentially 3 to 4 times more in places like Utah—because many cases go unreported. This isn’t just about personal choices—it’s about protecting the whole community. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
