Forecasting the future is difficult. But here’s an easy prediction: The anti-vaccination movement in the U.S. and globally is going to result in the deaths of more children.
This grim portent comes to us courtesy of UNICEF, which is reporting that 30,601 confirmed cases of measles have been reported in Europe and Central Asia this year through Dec.5.
That’s up from 909 cases in those regions in 2022, or an increase of 3,266%.
There is no clearer sign of a breakdown in immunization coverage than an increase in cases of measles.
