I use evidence-based science to shred bogus claims about health and medicine. Vaccines are safe and effective. Evolution is a fact. Supplements are a waste of money. I post articles at skepticalraptor.com

Vaccine preventable diseases could return without vaccines In 2026, nearly 1000 measles cases have emerged in US, primarily among unvaccinated children, leading to more vaccine-preventable diseases.

So far in 2026, nearly 1000 measles cases have emerged in the USA, primarily among unvaccinated children, a harbinger of a resurgence of #vaccine-preventable diseases. Low vaccine uptake threatens to reintroduce diseases like pertussis, meningitis, polio.

Vaccine preventable diseases could return withoutΒ vaccines As of 20 February 2026, the CDC states that there have been nearly 1000 measles cases in the USA in 2026, mostly in unvaccinated children, signaling the reappearance of other vaccine-preventable diseases. As vaccine uptake falls, there is concern that other diseases that have not been an issue for children in the USA for decades could return, sending thousands, maybe millions, of children to hospitals for treatment.
