The measles vaccine was introduced 62 years ago. It's not a coincidence
Graph of measles cases in the USA from 1962--2023. It shows about 400,000 cases in 1962 through 1964, dropping to 200,000 in 1966, then below 100,000 in 1967, and virtually zero after 1992. The graph indicates the vaccine was licensed in 1963, 2nd dose recommended starting in 1989, and "Elimination declared" in 2000.

Cartoon from Mad Magazine 1968, depicting an old man with flag- and eagle-themed decoration. Text: See the Super Patriot. Hear him preach how he loves his country. Hear him preach how he hates "liberals". And "Moderates" and "Intellectuals" and "Activists" and "Pacifists" and "Minority Groups" and "Aliens" and "Unions" and "Teenagers" and the "Very Rich" and the "Very Poor" and "People with Foreign-Sounding Names". Now you know what a Super Patriot is. He's someone who loves his country while hating 93% of the people who live in it.
