npub16nfzxt40ygx2fm7u3hj4sz296w0k98t063zu49zc53vkfy4h0d5skwy96v (npub16nf…y96v) There was also a big #Measles outbreak in West Africa right after the Ebola epidemic, exactly as the late Dr Hans Rosling had predicted in 2014. In that case, children missed their vaccinations because the schools were closed.

I'm not sure how much COVID pandemic school closings affected measles vaccination in Europe and North America, but it's a good reminder that #PublicHealth is about balancing everything, not optimising the response for one thing.
