Ohio, Maryland and Alabama among states to report new cases, with 378 confirmed in first few months of 2025

The Texas outbreak could take a year to get under control, one health official said – during which time it may spread to more states. Yet the parents of the six-year-old girl who died of measles in Texas have spoken against measles vaccination as misinformation continues to proliferate, including from figures such as the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr.

“I never thought in 2025, we would be looking at this resurgence of measles,” said Katherine Wells, director of Lubbock Public Health. “And I didn’t know it’d be in my backyard, either.”

        Want to know what’s crazy? RFK wrote a book about it during the height of covid. It’s very highly rated on Amazon and Goodreads. Science be damned. We are fucked.
