The US measles surge is the logical endgame of America’s “freedom experiment” in not vaccinating. Though declared eliminated in 2000, it's now back with more cases in 18 months than the prior 25 years combined! Sadly, as Dr Racine notes, children are bearing the brunt, with around 70% of cases in 2026 occurring in those under 20 years old, and nearly all patients unvaccinated. The CDC may well call it an “avoidable public health failure" but the US seems determined to prove that ideology can 'trump' basic public health. This isn’t innovation, it’s regression!
