To remove vaccines from ACIP guidelines, which seems to be the end goal here, is effectively a ban. If a vaccine is not recommended, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it. Few people can afford to pay for the cost out of pocket.

PS - It is unethical, irresponsible and cruel to expose people knowingly to communicable diseases that can cause death or severe irreversible harm. It also violates the medical tenet of " first do not harm".

If you have been exposed to #measles you can get post-exposure vaccination. Ideally within 72 hours of the exposure. This can help reduce the severity of illness and could even prevent you from developing symptoms at all.
Given exposures in gyms and at airports consider this a free tip.
