In the wake of a measles outbreak in Canada that has infected thousands of people over the past year, an international health agency revoked the country’s measles-free status on Nov. 10, 2025.
the US hasn’t already?
To achieve the status of measles elimination, a country must have no ongoing local transmission of the disease for at least one year. It will lose that status if it has a chain of cases that spread from person to person for more than one year.
We’ve been heading in that direction, but we won’t have officially lost our measles-free status until the current outbreak has continued for a full year.
I literally saw the same headline last week about “America lost its measles free status” and even earlier than that I kept hearing about the South and Midwest getting measles.
I just saw a similar post here earlier in the week, but for the US. If that’s accurate, then you’re right
Out of the loop, why Canada? Are they even stronger in anti vaccination bullshit than the US?
We are so back (to the 1930s)
It’s only 2025 and we’re back in the thirties?
Clearly, that will have to wait another four-ish years!
Where are you getting your news?
We’ve had measles outbreaks for a while now.
“The US will soon follow”.
Sounds like a threat…even though with RFKjr in charge of health and human services, it’s more of an inevitability.
Ill be amazed if we don’t get something worse
