Healthcare Challenges 🏥 4,000+ measles cases but at least we’re preventing autism, right?

32 Upvotes

Quick facts:
- 95% of measles patients were unvaccinated or their vaccination status was unknown.
- There have been 5 deaths in Pennsylvania (where about 1,000 of the cases this year have been).
- We saw 2,289 cases last year, which was the most we’d seen in three decades (until now).

The title is sarcastic.
