Measles Outbreak Hits Florida University, Officials Silent

Summary

Ave Maria University in Florida experienced a significant measles outbreak, but public officials and the university administration were hesitant to discuss the issue. A CNN reporter visited the university and was met with resistance and lack of communication from officials. The Florida Department of Health and the university president refused to answer questions about the outbreak. The lack of communication has been blamed for the spread of measles, with over 100 cases reported in Collier County. Experts believe that local authorities’ lack of communication has hurt the public health response and led to more people spreading measles.


Our Reading

The outbreak arrives with confidence, and so does the silence.

Measles cases are on the rise, and so are the questions about why public officials are not discussing it. The university president reprimands a reporter for asking questions, and the Florida health department doesn’t return calls. The lack of communication is to blame for the spread of measles, and experts are speaking out. The “medical freedom” movement is also being questioned, as Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo supports it and tries to ban mRNA vaccines. Unvaccinated children are at the root of the record-breaking number of measles cases in the United States.

Measles is back, and so is the silence.
