The Return of a Preventable Disease: Measles, misinformation and the crisis at the CDC
About this episode
The episode discusses the resurgence of measles in the U.S. and the response from public health authorities.
Measles has been declared eliminated in the U.S. for 25 years, but a surge in cases is threatening that status. Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University, joined Humans in Public Health to break down the outbreak, the chaotic federal response and how her team's tracker is stepping in to provide reliable, life-saving data.
