> An analysis found that 12% of the 4,056 measles cases confirmed in the United States between 2001 and 2022 were ‘breakthrough’ infections in vaccinated people.
I do not look forward to the screeching about the vaccine not working that will occur if cases continue to blow up.

I'm not sure if there is an official source, but with GOogle I found that 91% of the children are vaccinated with MMR https://www.statista.com/statistics/385577/mmr-vaccination-r...
So 91% vaccinated -> 12% ill -> something something -> 12/91 = 0.13
So 8% unvaccinated -> 88% ill -> something something -> 88/8 = 11.0
So the risk of uncvacinated people is like 100 higher. I'd expect a similar analysis in Nature site.

If only there was a safe and effective vaccine… for the bullshit misinformation causing people to mistrust vaccines.
"Present trends in the natural history of measles suggest that the disease may one day join rubella and mumps as no more than an accepted inconvenience of childhood."
