Some children affected by measles in the ongoing South Carolina outbreak have developed a serious complication of the disease called encephalitis, or swelling of the brain, state epidemiologist Linda Bell said on Wednesday.
The South Carolina measles outbreak began in October with a handful of infections. As of February 3, cases have climbed to 876, with 700 of those being reported since the beginning of the year. The surge could mean another bad year of measles for the United States, which had more than 2,267 cases—the highest in 30 years—in 2025. Declining vaccination rates across the country are driving the resurgence.

Do I still need the /s?
No. Stop it with any /s.
Bad decisions by adults are harming children. As usual.
1% of measles cases will get viral encephalitis. This could mean death, but more likely permanent brain damage or blindness.
If you haven’t gotten an mmr booster, go get it.
RFK needs a jail cell. Just put the whole regime in the same block in the supermax for their own safety and the safety of the nation
Yes that’s what measles does. That’s why we have a vaccination. Face, meet leopard.
Except that the children who are suffering didn’t choose this.
