I spoke w/ @CNBC on how the measles situation in Canada could serve as a warning for the US.

We have a population of 350 million. If we had the same experience Canada had over the next year or two, that would be up to 50,000 cases of measles in the US.

What an honor! As much as this award had my name on it, it really should have had many people's names on it.

I'm grateful to @IDSAInfo for recognizing the work being done by VIP. The credit for this work is shared with staff, supporters, those who got us started, & others!

Measles isn't just a rash. Acute death associated w/ infection isn't the sole outcome we need to worry about. The good news is that we have a highly effective vaccine. We just have to use it.
