    New @WHO data demonstrates the immense value of vaccination: it has dropped worldwide measles deaths from 2.6M in 1980s to 90,000 in 2016.http://nyti.ms/2C0YV6U

        Terrible choice of accompanying photo - a child seemingly afraid of a needle (reasonable) and appears to be held down.

        Agreed. Why do editors persist is propagating this stereotyping image? We’re meant to be encouraging vaccination correct?

        .@Atul_Gawande @WHO @GutteridgeC  One of the first things we learned a medical school - measles is the world's number one killer. Not now.

        The challenge is getting this information to be taken as a major accomplishment of childhood immunizations in the era of Antivaxxers.

        Significantly in the US experience there was a subsequent drop in childhood mortality from many other infections which should be helping children around the world!

        Whether stock photo or not, this says something about medicine. I remember all too well being held down screaming as a child to receive medical "attention". Can't we take a little time with kids/adults alike and eliminate the terror?

        Wait, 90,000 children still die each year from measles? The improvement is great, of course, but that still seems like a lot of unnecessary carnage.

        Don’t let Fox News see this - they will tell Trump and then Trump will try to cut that program too!
