Measles is popping up in numerous countries the last couple years. Canada has way more cases than the US in absolute numbers and it's catastrophic per capita.

It'd be great to start digging into the "why" and figure out how to mitigate the sources.

> Canada has seen an alarming increase in the number of measles cases since the outbreak began in October 2024, with a total of 5,380 probable and confirmed cases as of Jan. 10, according to Health Canada.

> In recent months, six countries in the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) European region that had previously eliminated the disease have officially lost their measles-free status. In other countries, measles is once again considered endemic.

> Although the decision to remove these countries’ measles-free status was taken last September based on 2024 data, the World Health Organization (WHO) did not release the information publicly until this week, once all countries had signed off.

The "why" is that Measles is an extremely infectious viral disease and so it spreads easily. You "mitigate" this by vaccinating everybody you can once they're old enough and thus creating herd immunity. We already knew that a long time ago.

Or I suppose if you think God King Donald J Trump's misfiring brain controls reality you could ask him to Truth that measles doesn't exist any more. Good luck with that.

Can you explain what Trump has to do with the health practices of Canada, the UK, Belgium, or a dozen other European countries in 2024?

Or more importantly - what happened in 2015/2016 in these countries when measles first started reappearing?
