The Spin
Left narrative
Europe had virtually no concerns over measles for 25 years. Unfortunately, thanks to a drop in vaccination rates during the COVID pandemic, coupled with the spread of anti-vaccine propaganda from certain high-profile officials, this highly infectious disease is on the rise again. Those who are unvaccinated should know that if they remain unprotected and then contract the disease, they will likely give it to over a dozen others, leading to illness or death.
Right narrative
If a drop in measles vaccine rates plays a role in this, it's the fault of the medical establishment, which lost all credibility when it pushed its mRNA jabs. Since the health establishment went overboard in forcing their experimental COVID vaccines, renewed vaccine skepticism is understandable whether the measles vaccine is effective or not. If Western public health agencies wish to remedy this problem, they must first regain constituents' trust.
