Yep.
And so it goes. I keep hearing people say “but it doesn’t seem to be taking off…” (disregarding Onterio and Texas/NM) but with this particular bug, all it takes is for it to find its way into one of the unvaxxed communities, which can be found in any state regardless of the overall vaccination rate, and it can cause trouble. I have seen a small uptick in folks wanting their kids to get the MMR who had previously not wanted vaccines at all, so there is that. But it is absolutely ot over.
We just got our first local warning of a measles exposure incident. A family spent a couple of days staying at a local hotel, and one of the children tested positive for measles a few days after they left.
The new group fails to include experts on any diseases that vaccines prevent. Or experts on vaccines themselves. Or experts on infectious-disease epidemiology. Or experts on clinical trials. “We’ve taken people who had expertise and fired them for a bogus reason,” says the University of Pennsylvania vaccinologist Paul Offit, a former member of the A.C.I.P. and the creator of the rotavirus vaccine. In their place have been installed what the bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel, also of the University of Pennsylvania, described to me as “vaccine skeptics.” Offit calls them, more pointedly, “purveyors of disinformation.”
“The consequence will be people will lose trust in the panel and its advice,” Offit went on. “In fact, I think it’s already happened.” Emanuel agreed: “I don’t think we’ll be able to trust the A.C.I.P. operation anymore,” he told me. “It begins to make people distrust the U.S. government as a whole. Or distrust it even more.” One result, he suggested, was that Americans would start to treat vaccine recommendations like the State Department’s travel advisories — mostly ignoring them.
AAP will continue to publish its own vaccine recommendations after CDC advisers sow distrust
This is, unfortunately, not surprising.

Thanks for this.
When was the last time Scientific American crossed gov’t policy so deeply?
