Anti-Vaxxers Are Grifting Off the Measles Outbreak—and Claim a Bioweapon Caused It

Recently, amid the resurgence of measles outbreaks in various parts of the world, anti-vaxxers have been spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories about the origins of these outbreaks. Some have gone so far as to claim that the measles outbreak was deliberately caused by a bioweapon.

These unfounded claims not only spread fear and confusion but also undermine efforts to combat the spread of preventable diseases. By exploiting public health crises for their own gain, anti-vaxxers are putting countless lives at risk.

It is crucial for individuals to rely on credible sources of information, such as the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, when it comes to understanding the importance of vaccinations and combating misinformation.
