Given the resurgence of measles in some parts of the U.S. in recent years and mixed messages from Washington in recent months, it’s easy to be confused over what to think about vaccination. We’re seeing more of a divide over what historically has been accepted by many in the medical community as one of the great developments in modern medicine. And we seem to be in a new place when it comes to widespread acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination after four years.
I do think there is a lot of misleading information out there right now that I want to caution people to be very wary of.
