If https://www.foxnews.com/category/health/measles is to be believed, FNC has published just 17 stories on this mess since it began earlier this year.

I just skimmed this article "10 #scientific #truths that somehow became unpopular in 2025"
https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/10-scientific-truths-unpopular-2025/
and I'm thinking that just because someone says a fact is "political" doesn't make it false. I'm also thinking that lack of #scienceliteracy is killing us. 1/
