Measles / Rubeola - 27 May 2025

As of May 27 TV news reporting

ABC News reporter Mary Kekatos

cites 22 cases reported to Center for

Disease Control & Prevention, in

contrast to 100 new cases reported

at official medical reporting (state

depts. of health) over a week in late

April 2025.

Public health experts attribute this to

a mix of initial vaccinations / higher

vaccination to raise the herd immunity,

and people/families staying at home when

sick / contagious / showing manifest symptoms.

The insulated Mennonite community in

W. Texas is one locale where the virus

has likely run through those families

with children (never-vaccinated).  Recently

Nebraska became the 32nd State to report

a case of Measles unrelated to the New

Mexico, W. Texas original epicenter

and transmission.
