Media Fearmongering About Measles… Again

Oh no, another measles outbreak! Quick, everyone panic! The media is back to its favorite playbook: take a relatively small outbreak and inflate it into a looming apocalypse. Scott Gottlieb, ever the reliable voice of bureaucratic alarmism, warns that cases “will spread.” Gee, you think? That’s how viruses work. But let’s not pretend this is the bubonic plague. The overwhelming majority of measles cases resolve just fine, but the real concern here is the media’s push for renewed vaccine mandates and government overreach.

If history has taught us anything, it's that when bureaucrats start sounding the alarm, their “solutions” usually involve less freedom and more control.
