The Return of Measles: What’s Fueling the 2025 Outbreak? - Lab 091

Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000—but it’s making headlines again. In this lab, we dig into why this highly contagious virus is resurfacing in places like West Texas. Plus, we talk about who’s most at risk, why public health experts are sounding the alarm, and how to separate medical fact from misinformation (yes, we’re looking at you, cod liver oil).

Titi and Zakiya are joined by epidemiologist and public health expert Dr. Katelyn Jetelina to help break it all down.
