Cases of measles decreased >99% after introduction of measles vaccine in the 1960’s in the US. But in 2025, we’re seeing outbreaks of measles. Why is this occurring? Are vaccination rates high enough? Is measles dangerous? How effective is the vaccine? What about alternative preventive measures or treatments for measles? Listen to this episode as we cut through some of the measles misinformation that is circulating and discuss these questions and more.
