US measles epidemic

The US measles epidemic is petering out, after around 1270 known cases. There may have been hundreds of thousands more cases not reported.

This is what used to happen every year when I was a child. Every year, 400-500 people died from measles in the US. The article does not say how many developed a weakened immune system or lasting disability, but I'd expect it was in the thousands.

All of that could be coming back — but we could avoid that by kicking out the trumpets.
