Recent studies led by Stanford Medicine have alarmingly indicated that the U.S. may be on the brink of a measles epidemic due to declining vaccination rates. Experts warn that if the trend continues, millions of measles cases could emerge over the next 25 years, potentially leading to the disease becoming endemic once again. Health authorities emphasize the critical need for increased vaccination efforts to prevent a surge in this preventable disease, especially as herd immunity wanes in states like New Jersey. Misinformation surrounding vaccines is also being scrutinized as a possible factor contributing to these declines in vaccination coverage. Without decisive action, the country could face a public health crisis reminiscent of earlier measles outbreaks.
