An outbreak of measles in West Texas and New Mexico has resulted in one child's death and over 130 infections, primarily among unvaccinated children. This avoidable health crisis is linked to vaccine misinformation and public health weaknesses. Experts warn that the outbreak could worsen if Robert F.
