Under RFK Jr, CDC skips study on vaccination rates, quietly posts data on drop

Vaccination rates among the country's kindergartners have fallen once again, with coverage of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination dropping from 92.7 percent in the 2023–2024 school year to 92.5 percent in 2024–2025. The percentage changes are small across the board, but they represent thousands of children and an ongoing downward trend that makes the country more vulnerable to outbreaks. In the latest school year, an estimated 286,000 young children were not fully protected agains

Measles Cases Are Soaring in Mexico

The spread of measles is showing no signs of slowing down in Mexico. Between July 21 and 25, the country’s number of confirmed infections in 2025 rose from 3,553 to 3,730, an increase of 197 in only four days, according to the Ministry of Health.

Neanderthals Ate Maggots, Scientists Say

Modern humanity’s most famous cousins, the Neanderthals, may have had a clever, if unappealing, dietary trick for survival: maggots. Research out today posits these creepy crawly fly larvae provided Neanderthals an ample source of essential nitrogen and fat. Scientists at Purdue University, the University of Michigan, and others conducted the study, published Friday in Science Advances. Using both experimental and historical data, they showed that maggot-infused meat is rich in fat and nitrogen

Can US Measles Outbreaks Be Stopped?

The US is experiencing its worst year for measles in over three decades, with more than 1,300 cases in 40 states as of July 16. Cases were almost as high in 2019, putting the country’s measles elimination status at risk. Six years ago, health officials were able to stop the spread. But amid growing public backlash against vaccines, many of the tactics used then may not work now. Measles elimination means there has been no continuous transmission in a country for longer than 12 months. That almo

Measles Cases Hit the Highest Number in 33 Years. Do You Need a Measles Vaccine Booster?

The measles outbreak that started in West Texas has now spread to nearly every US state and infected 1,288 people, according to NPR. That's the largest number of measles cases since 1992. With measles still infecting many people, you might be wondering about your own vaccination status and whether you are adequately protected from the potentially deadly disease. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine are 97% eff

David Zaslav Is Getting a Pay Cut

David Zaslav, the unfortunate CEO of the company formerly known as Warner Bros. Discovery (the company, which was once two separate companies but became one, is splitting up again), has often been accused of being bad at his job and, now, it would appear that the people who pay his salary may agree. A new report from Deadline finds that Zaslav is scheduled to receive a sizable pay cut this year. Citing a recent SEC filing, Deadline notes that a new business agreement will “significantly reduce
