This is a sad reminder that even after a child recovers from measles, they are not yet out of the woods — which is why it’s so important to make sure every child is protected through vaccination.

Feeling a lot like I did in early days of the pandemic these days. It is so clear what’s coming: The people that will die because of cuts in global health, because of cuts to research, because of the concerted anti-vaccine push.
It’s clear what’s coming, but we will have to wait to count the dead.🧪
