The Spin


Canada's measles outbreak shows the system working as intended. Health officials quickly coordinated across all levels of government, implemented evidence-based responses and slowed transmission through strong public health measures. The vaccine remains highly effective and restoration efforts are already underway.

Canada's loss of measles-free status after nearly three decades represents a devastating and embarrassing public health failure. Vaccination rates have plummeted to dangerous levels, the outbreak spread to over 5,000 cases nationwide and the collapse exposes critical weaknesses in surveillance systems.
