"Since the summer of 2023, news headlines across the UK and globe have been warning of an imminent measles outbreak amongst certain populations.

Predicting that this outbreak could affect tens of thousands of people, and blaming it on waning measles (MMR) vaccination rates, health authorities are cautioning of the possibility of a serious epidemic.

At the time of writing (mid-January 2024), such news headlines are becoming more prominent and widespread.

Are authorities right to be concerned? Would a measles outbreak really pose a grave threat to the nation's health?

It's true that there was a time, historically, when poor sanitation and overcrowding were rife, that measles was associated with more debilitating effects, including death. However, these trends were reversed by improvements in nutrition, sanitation, and plumbing.

By the time the measles vaccination was introduced in the UK in 1968, deaths from measles had already declined to extremely low levels..

Although advocates of vaccination often credit the measles vaccine with eliminating deaths from measles, this is not an accurate picture, as evidence shows that modern plumbing and sanitation, plus improvements in diet, had a far more profound impact on reducing severe effects associated with measles than did the measles vaccination...

Although measles has, in recent years, developed a reputation as a serious, even killer, disease, this is a fairly modern "rebranding". Prior to the measles vaccination being made available in the 1960s, measles was considered a routine childhood infection, which almost all children passed through with no lasting effects.

Indeed, when the then 12-year-old Prince Charles, heir to British the throne, contracted measles in 1960, it was casually reported in the newspapers that "the rash appeared Tuesday and is expected to run its usual course. No further bulletins are expected".

There was certainly no concern the young prince might die - and most families experienced measles the same way: a rash and a fever, which quickly ran their course with no lasting effects.

Even modern sources confirm that measles "usually passes in about seven to 10 days without causing any further problems".

So why does the word 'measles' strike fear into the hearts of parents and policy-makers alike?"
