According to a new Gallup Poll, support for childhood vaccinations has dropped considerably since 2019. Americans’ faith in vaccines is fading, and it’s corresponding with a rapid rise in some diseases. Oregon recently experienced its biggest measles outbreak in five years: 30 cases, all among people who are not vaccinated. As of mid-August, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed 219 measles cases in the United States, up from 59 last year—a 271% increase.
