Outbreak of Measles Across US; CDC Reports 100 Percent Spike in Cases

Outbreak of Measles Across US; CDC Reports 100 Percent Spike in Cases Over Just 2 Weeks | Facts Matter

Jun-05-2024
Seemingly all of a sudden, we’re beginning to see outbreaks of diseases that we assumed were defeated decades ago. On a previous episode, we already discussed the rise in leprosy cases here in America—which is obviously very bad. However, what’s perhaps even worse (because it’s so much more contagious) is measles.
Measles is a highly contagious disease that manifests itself as a runny nose, cough, inflamed eyes, sore throat, and fever, as well as the characteristic red, blotchy skin rash over much of the body.
Suddenly, we’re beginning to see pockets of outbreaks across the entirety of the United States.
