Nearly 500 people have been infected in the state since January. The hospital confirmed that the 8-year-old victim had not been vaccinated. The deaths are the first from the disease in the United States in a decade. Measles was declared eradicated in America in 2000. But officials fear misinformation about vaccines is fueling public skepticism and a resurgence of the disease.<br>For more information, DW spoke to Owais Durrani, an Emergency doctor in Houston, Texas.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/S6aCUeEVg90?si=QOUPr4DM8n1jndPy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/S6aCUeEVg90?si=QOUPr4</span><span class="invisible">DM8n1jndPy</span></a></p>
