The Lowdown

According to new data released by the CDC, America has a problem. Released Wednesday the stats revealed that the country is at a thirty-year high with measles cases spurred in part by the U.S’s struggle to maintain vaccination standards.

The CDC says that 1,288 cases have been reported this year alone the highest on record in the United States since 1992.
