>More than 900 cases of measles have been confirmed among 7,500 suspected cases reported since March 15, according to the official data in the South Asian nation of more than 170 million people.
100 dead with 900 confirmed cases terrifying. USAID stopped $700,000,000.00 in aid to Bangladesh in 2025.

It is already here. A fair few of the concentration camps with kids are deliberately left to get measles, a few states have many cases of it.

I know measles is already here. I'm saying wide scale death is coming next.

Unlikely. The death rate for measles is not “wide scale”

That's an argument for enforcing LEGAL immigration, which ensures new arrivals have vaccination records, or get the vaccine.

But not mass death. Yet.

Measles killed a few million kids a year before the vaccines were developed.
Yes, it's that kind of virus.

We'll never know for certain, I don't think. The CDC is not tracking things the same way they used to, and making public reports. Does anyone really believe that the CDC is going to release accurate data, or that state health databases are going to be able to collect accurate data from hospitals and compile that to hand over?
It was hard enough during that first COVID wave. My hospital in a Red county in California didn't call count it as a COVID infection if you didn't meet specific criteria like having traveled out of the country or being exposed to someone who had, etc etc. So for a while my county was definitely underreported. Things changed as time went on, but my hospital definitely took advantage of not reporting as much as they could.

Yup, I got vaccinated again because I don't believe we'll get accurate notification of outbreaks from the CDC.
I'm an RN in California and also in a Union, so I know I'll be able to get info from other RNs about outbreaks. Pay attention to news announcements from nurses, everyone.

Those poor children and their parents. UNICEF website says that one dose of measles vaccine is 12-40 cents and combined with rubella is 66 cents. So little money to help.

Lethality is up to 2 in 1000. This means there are 50000+ cases. Can become continent-wide problem soon.

First world problems in the US, third world problems in Bangladesh*. Both are an equally serious problem regardless of geography but one is magnified by stupidity and the other by greed.
Mind blowing this still happens in 2026.
*Thanks for the heads up.

not getting your children vaccinated in a developing country is very different than not getting them vaccinated in a developed country. This was much less likely choice and much more likely lack of access, financial and geographical challenges, lack of infrastructure, etc.

Did you read the article? It’s not the same issue as the US where its freely available but anti-vax idiots with their misinformed views are killing kids and ruining lives.
As the other comment mentioned the US cut USAID money last year that helped with vaccine programs, that stockpiles/supplies of vaccines didnt have enough, and “The vaccination campaign for measles was disrupted during Bangladesh’s recent political upheavals. Hasina was ousted in a mass uprising in 2024, and Yunus led an interim administration that transferred power to an elected government after an election in February.” Tuberculosis is another disease that USAID helped Bangladesh fight but with that cut deaths are going up again.

The previous provisional government and the corrupt one before that mismanaged vaccine supplies, according to the article. So there is a shortage available doses.
