David Dodd, CEO of GeoVax, joins The Steve Gruber Show for a critical discussion about America’s resurging battle with measles, and why the country now stands on the verge of losing its decades-old “measles-free” status. Dodd explains how 2025’s outbreaks, especially those spreading through unvaccinated and undervaccinated communities, are undermining past decades of public-health progress. He argues that declining vaccination rates, vaccine hesitancy, and disrupted routine immunizations during the COVID-19 era have combined to let measles make a forceful comeback. Dodd calls for renewed attention to immunization, public-health infrastructure, and vaccine innovation, warning that without decisive action, we could see further outbreaks, rising hospitalizations, and a full rollback of the gains once thought secure.
