What misinformation is circulating about vaccines during the measles outbreak?

During the measles outbreak, misleading information is being disseminated from HHS suggesting that vaccines are not safe or not necessary. Dr. Michael Osterholm, an infectious disease expert, highlights this misinformation as a serious concern amid the rising measles cases in the U.S. This type of misinformation contributes to vaccine hesitancy and lower vaccination rates, which directly impacts public health and enables the spread of preventable diseases like measles. The expert emphasizes that countering these false claims is essential to protect communities and prevent further outbreaks.
