Vaccines work! As measles cases have recently been reported in Alaska, Georgia, New York, Rhode Island and Texas, it's important to remember that prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, measles killed 400-500 people and resulted in ~48,000 hospitalizations per year.
Graph showing that prior to 1963 when the measles vaccine was introduced, there were around 300,000-700,000 measles cases per year. Within a few years of the vaccine, the number of cases fell below 20,000/year. There were a blips where cases rose, but shortly after the second vaccine dose was recommended in 1989, annual cases have generally been well below 1,000 cases. In 2000, measles elimination was declared in the US. Now we have sporadic outbreaks that typically spread among unvaccinated people. Chart is from Center for American Progress and is based on CDC data on measles cases.

Assessing Human Liver Spheroids as a Model for Antiviral Drug Evaluation Against BSL-3 Haemorrhagic Fever viruses
Haemorrhagic fever viruses (HFVs) cause highly lethal syndromes with limited therapeutic options. Increasingly, 3D cell culture models are becoming an important tool in the field of virology. Since th...

Epidemic Zika virus strains from the Asian lineage induce an attenuated fetal brain pathogenicity - Nature Communications
During the 2015–2016 outbreak, Zika virus infection was linked to birth defects. Here, the authors show that epidemic strains cause less severe disease in mouse embryos than pre-epidemic strains and c...
