An outbreak is different. It's when the virus is spreading locally. And right now, the virus is spreading in remote areas of West Texas and New Mexico. The concern is that you might have someone who is sick and then they travel to another area where vaccination rates are low and they could potentially seed another outbreak there. OK. And at that point, how do you stop that from happening?

So measles is the most contagious infectious disease known to man. It's more contagious than Ebola, than polio, than chickenpox. It's so contagious that in a world where no one's vaccinated, one person sick with measles could go on to infect 18 others on average. And it's airborne, which means these infectious particles can linger in the air for up to two hours.

So if you have a sick person walk into a room, cough, leave, and then an hour later someone comes in, they could potentially get infected and pass it on to others. The other thing is you're infectious from about four days before you develop that telltale red measles rash until four days after. So that's, you know, eight days really where you could be spreading it to others.

Now, the good news is the measles vaccine is very safe and highly effective. Two doses of the vaccine is 97 percent effective, which, yeah. And you need high vaccination rates in a community so that there's no one vulnerable to measles. And so the virus has really nowhere to go and spread.

It depends on which part of the federal government you're talking about. So the CDC has issued a measles alert and, you know, asked doctors to be on the lookout for people with fevers and the red rashes. It's sent vaccines to Texas. And it says unequivocally vaccination is the best defense against measles.

But when it comes to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services Secretary, he wrote an editorial piece for Fox and he's been on Fox in an interview. He has said vaccines protect individuals from measles and, you know, they contribute to community immunity. But he's also called vaccination a personal choice and he didn't outright urge people to get vaccinated.

The other thing he said was that good nutrition is a best defense against chronic and infectious diseases, which, again, the public health line has long been that when it comes to measles, vaccination is absolutely the best defense.

The other thing he's done that has puzzled public health experts I've talked to is he's focused on treatments like vitamin A rather than stressing vaccination. Wait, vitamin A?
