Measles is back in the United States, and that should concern every parent, clinician, educator, and community member.
In this video, I walk through what measles actually does, why falling vaccination coverage matters, and how we got here. But I also go further back, through the history of polio, measles, mumps, hepatitis B, diphtheria, pertussis, Hib, and rubella, to talk about the scientists, parents, trial volunteers, and public health workers who helped turn once-routine childhood devastation into something many of us no longer have to see.
