#MEASLES IS RISING IN THE U.S. — it’s the canary of #misinformation

• Measles was eliminated (2000), not eradicated

• The virus is reintroduced via travel all the time

• Outbreaks only happen where vaccination drops

What changed?

❌ The virus didn’t

❌ The vaccine didn’t

✅ The information environment did

Misinformation → lower vaccination

Lower vaccination → herd immunity breaks

Herd immunity breaks → measles returns

Measles spreads through the air.

It infects before symptoms appear.

It finds gaps immediately.

This isn’t about politics.

It’s about math, biology, and trust.

“Measles didn’t come back because science failed —

it came back because misinformation spread faster than trust.”
