Measles outbreak: ‘People should be worried,’ expert says—what to know about the disease, vaccine and how to stay healthy​

Measles is highly contagious and airborne. A person infected with the virus can spread it through coughing, sneezing and talking. “If one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected,” according to the CDC.

So how concerning is the current number of measles cases for public health experts? Very concerning, says Frederic Bertley, CEO and President of the Center of Science & Industry and a leading science educator with a background in immunology.

“People should be worried, both in the U.S. [and] around the world,” Bertley tells CNBC Make It.

“To put it in perspective, last year [in the U.S.] we had 285 cases. That was for the entire year, 12 months. We have not even finished the first quarter [of 2025]. We’re just beginning March, and we’re already at 164. And we’ve already had a death. We have not had a death from measles since 2015 in the United States of America.”

What's more concerning, the outbreak or a nitwit like RFK being in charge of the response?

People thinking opinions are evidence-supported facts?

No.

What you think is not an equivalent, or anything near it, for the experts.

Those who refuse to take vaccines aren't thinking for themselves. They aren't thinking at all.

Measles outbreak grows bigger in rural Texas, and officials expect more cases​

At least 58 new cases of measles have been reported across northwest Texas in recent weeks, state health officials said Tuesday, in a "highly contagious" outbreak that might be linked to lack of vaccination.

A bulk of these new cases in rural northwest Texas are in Gaines County with 45 documented incidents of the disease, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

In the last three weeks, nine cases have come from Terry County, two from Yoakum County and one each from Lubbock and Lynn Counties, according to the state.

At least four patients had been vaccinated, but the "rest are unvaccinated, or their vaccination status is unknown," the health department said.

Most of the infections are in school-age kids, and 13 have been hospitalized.

More cases are expected.

...........be held responsible for unnecessarily putting their kid's health, and other kid's health, in jeopardy?

What about the HHS director if his anti-vaccine stance convinced some of those parents not to vaccinate their kids? Any responsibility there?

Hmmm...where have we heard this tune before?

Torture? Really? You must be an enormous weenie.

Please don't take them and encourage your entire family to follow your example.

Kids die from measles ya jackass.

They die from car accidents far more frequently. So by your logic they should not be allowed in cars?

Someone save me the futile effort of trying to wade through the usual bug bleating bullshit.

You don't understand fallacies.

There is no comparison significantly of your comparison. It is almost senseless.
