Experts from Ohio, who survived measles before vaccines, are rallying against growing vaccine hesitancy. Judith Feinberg, an infectious diseases specialist and grandma, shares her personal experience and joins Grandparents for Vaccines to push for shots amid rising cases. The CDC reports over one thousand measles cases this year, with Ohios second outbreak in Columbus affecting unvaccinated or under-vaccinated kids. Groups like school nurses and grandparents highlight the pre-vaccine worlds constant fear of diseases like polio and measles. Parents today often lack firsthand knowledge, leading to increased opt-outs for reasons like religion or personal beliefs. School vaccination rates have dropped, threatening herd immunity. School nurses like Kate King, who had measles at age three, are urging families with exemptions to vaccinate. With the U.S. at risk of losing measles elimination status, these voices stress the importance of vaccines to prevent a return to the terrifying pre-vaccine world.
