Overview

Measles on the Brink Understanding Measles Resurgence, Epidemiology, and Public Health Policy in America Once declared eliminated, measles is back-and its return is exposing deep cracks in America's public health system. Measles on the Brink offers a clear, compelling, and evidence-based exploration of how a fully preventable disease has re-emerged in the United States. Blending epidemiology, public health policy, and real-world case studies, this book explains not only what is happening, but why it matters-and what can still be done to stop it. Written in accessible, straightforward language, the book guides readers through the science of measles transmission, the success and decline of vaccination programs, the rise of vaccine hesitancy, and the growing impact of misinformation and political polarization. It examines how public health systems respond under pressure, how laws and policies shape health outcomes, and why global disease trends directly affect domestic safety. More than a medical account, Measles on the Brink is a timely analysis of trust, responsibility, and leadership in modern America. It highlights the real human and economic costs of inaction while offering practical, forward-looking solutions to restore and sustain measles elimination. Ideal for students, healthcare professionals, policymakers, educators, and informed readers, this book makes a clear case: measles is not a failure of science-it is a failure of commitment. The tools to prevent it already exist. The question is whether the nation will choose to use them before a preventable crisis becomes the new normal.
