I was chatting to a friend who was born towards the end of the millennial era and she casually mentioned that she had only recently found out that a pregnant person catching German measles/rubella could cause disabilities in the fetus. This honestly surprised me a bit, because I remember hearing about it all the time growing up (I was born in the early 80s) and in school all the girls were packed off to get vaccinated at age 12. So now I'm wondering, is this widely known in younger generations or has the knowledge faded with the success of vaccine programs?

Did you know that rubella can cause congenital disabilities? What generation are you from?

Measles Outbreak 2026: Causes and Consequences

Background and Context In recent months, the United States has witnessed a significant increase in measles cases, a disease that was declared eliminated in the country in 2000. This resurgence is particularly alarming given the highly contagious nature of measles and its potential for severe health complications. The current outbreak has been notably severe in states such as South Carolina, North…

💉💪🌊 Measles and rubella have been eliminated in Japan and Pacific island countries! Through public health initiatives and efforts to deliver vaccines to island communities across geographic and logistic barriers, the 21 countries in the WHO’s Western Pacific region and Japan have proven remarkable progress in this achievement. While access to health services must continue to be addressed to sustain these gains, this development is still a step towards protecting children and communities against these preventable diseases!

100 years ago, you would not get through school with all your classmates. Death happened to friends; rubella, scarlet fever, smallpox, tuberculosis, polio took down people indiscriminately. Orphanages, boarding and residential schools, without a family to properly bury a child at home or on church land, filled up their own lands with dead children as waves of disease spread through their rooms with no control.

I went to school where we lined up at the nurse’s office for our immunisations, where vaccines are mandatory for children going to school. Not one of my schoolmates I went with through grades 1-12 died from polio, consumption, measles… A car accident took two, yes. But no disease that had been slowed or eradicated had killed one of us.

I cannot say the same of my mother’s friends born in the 1940s. She lost people, friends, in school. More than one. And not to a car accident.

I see what is happening.

We are going back to children not all getting through 1-12 together. Disease will take some out like it used to.

Now it is not an accident, like a car wreck. It is purposefully intended.
