From fear to fatwas: the data behind the growing mistrust in vaccines

From fear to fatwas: the data behind the growing mistrust in vaccines Startling figures released by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday showed the extent to which measles has overrun the globe in the last few months.

The data show that the number of cases of measles worldwide more than trebled in the first three months of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, increasing from around 28,000 to 112,000 cases.

WHO is clear that stagnating vaccination rates are one of the key reasons behind the disease's resurgence. The Daily Telegraph
