Recent data shows that Texas and New Mexico have experienced a significant increase in measles (MMR) vaccination rates in 2025, coinciding with a spike in measles cases in these states.
This raises concerns about the effectiveness of current vaccination strategies and whether they may be contributing to the spread of measles outbreaks.
Increased Vaccinations
-
Texas: Between January 1 and March 16, 2025, Texas administered over 173,000 doses of the measles vaccine, representing a 9.5% increase from the same period in 2024.
-
New Mexico: From February 1 to March 31, 2025, New Mexico saw an 80.8% increase in MMR vaccine doses administered compared to the previous year.
Increased Cases
-
Texas: With 709 reported cases of measles as of early May 2025, Texas has become the epicenter of the outbreak.
-
New Mexico: The state has confirmed 71 cases of measles as of early May 2025.
Live Virus, Live Risk: Concerns Over MMR Vaccination Campaigns
A growing body of evidence suggests a link between recent MMR vaccination campaigns and measles infections:
-
The MMR vaccine contains a live measles virus, which is the result of gain-of-function experiments aimed at enhancing its infectivity.
-
Vaccinated individuals can shed the live virus, potentially infecting others, as confirmed by several studies.
-
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the vaccine strain is less transmissible than the wild-type virus.
-
Measles outbreaks have followed vaccination campaigns in various regions, raising concerns about vaccine-induced infections.
