Health officials are calling the surge a <strong data-start=\"303\" data-end=\"334\">major public health setback<\/strong>, raising renewed concerns about vaccination gaps, misinformation, and the rapid spread of preventable diseases.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"487\"><strong data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"487\">A Disease Once Nearly Eliminated<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"672\">Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in <strong data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"543\">2000<\/strong>, thanks to widespread vaccination. For many years, only small clusters of cases appeared\u2014usually linked to international travel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"850\">But the 1,500+ cases reported this year reveal a troubling reversal. Experts say the resurgence shows how quickly measles can return when vaccination rates fall, even slightly.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"879\"><strong data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"879\">Why Cases Are Rising<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"880\" data-end=\"961\">Public health authorities point to several key factors behind the historic spike:<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"1001\"><strong data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1001\">1. Declining Vaccination Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1241\">Communities with low MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccination coverage have become hotspots for outbreaks. Even a small drop in immunization can leave thousands vulnerable, because measles is one of the <strong data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1240\">most contagious viruses on Earth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1283\"><strong data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1283\">2. Misinformation About Vaccines<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1477\">Health agencies warn that online misinformation continues to discourage parents from vaccinating children, despite decades of scientific evidence proving the vaccine\u2019s safety and effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1513\"><strong data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1513\">3. Increased Global Travel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1714\">Many cases have been traced back to regions experiencing large outbreaks. Travelers who contract the virus abroad can spread it rapidly once they return home\u2014especially in undervaccinated communities.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1748\"><strong data-start=\"1719\" data-end=\"1748\">The Toll on Public Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1793\">Measles is not a mild illness.
