Measles was once considered eliminated in Canada, but not anymore — there have been more than 5,000 cases in the last 12 months as vaccination rates have fallen. Here's how they got there, and why other countries — including the U.S. and Mexico — are also at risk of losing their status.

If you still have a Washington Post subscription, cancel it.
Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion.

WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out.

Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why
