According to a June 10, 2025, U.S. Measles Tracker Report1, there have been 1171 cases of measles so far this year. Of those cases, 94% were unvaccinated. Two children and one adult have died. In March, I had lunch with an unvaccinated granddaughter who had never heard of measles, didn’t know that it can be a deadly disease, or that we have now exceeded the total number of cases (285) reported in all of 2024. She had never heard of polio or an iron lung.
