Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...

We all know that when WHO updates the list of countries that failed to eliminate measles, Canada's going to be the only rich country on it because of stinking Alberta, right?

Mark my words: this time next year, WHO will put Canada on the list of countries that failed to control measles.
Like the poorest in Asia and Africa.
And it will be Doug Ford’s fault.
