As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

For some vaccine-hesitant parents...who’ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.

They’re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that it’s slowing down the outbreaks.

I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.

Why early action matters for cardiovascular health

Advances in understanding cardiovascular disease drivers make it possible to move care upstream. Health systems and policy must now evolve so prevention reaches the populations who stand to benefit most.

Whether livestock can be infected is perhaps the most important question. The chance encounter of a wildlife pathogen with domestic animals raised in large numbers in close quarters will yield devastating results. That could be human epidemic/pandemic/endemic disease, farms wiped out and/or reverse spillover.
