Short Dive: America’s Measles Rebound

Why outbreaks are back, what the CDC data reveals, and how to protect yourself in a post-elimination world.

“CDC confirms over 900 measles cases as of April 2025—more than triple the rate from the same time last year.”

So, what’s driving the U.S. measles resurgence?
Who’s actually most at risk?
And—are you really protected?

This isn’t just about a rash. It’s about policy. Trust. Misinformation.
And the cracks in our healthcare system.

I didn’t plan to write this.
But with cases of measles rising across more than a dozen U.S. states—and headlines getting louder—I realized how few people understand the full picture.

So I did the work: dug into the latest CDC data, read every credible study, sifted through the misinformation, and talked to the experts.
What started as a few notes turned into a fully sourced, deeply researched field guide.

This is not a scare campaign.
It’s a straightforward look at the virus we thought we’d defeated—and why it’s back.

Whether you’re a parent, healthcare worker, teacher, or just someone who wants to stay informed—this book will give you the tools to separate fact from fiction.

It’s written with clarity. Backed by science. And made for anyone who cares about protecting their family—and their community.

Hope this helps. Let me know what you think.
