Measles outbreaks have surged in the U.S. in early 2025, surpassing total cases from 2023, primarily linked to a Texas community resistant to vaccination. Unvaccinated individuals, especially children, face severe health risks, including brain swelling and pneumonia. Despite the virus being preventable with vaccines, misconceptions around measles lead some parents to expose their children intentionally. Measles spreads easily, with no available treatment, highlighting the critical importance of vaccination in protecting public health.
In the first two months of 2025, there have been more measles cases in the US than there were in the entire year of 2023.
Measles can cause brain swelling, seizures, and lifelong neurological damage, affecting children who are unvaccinated and severely compromising their health.
