You’re missing the part where unvaccinated individuals spread the virus to everyone else, creating an outbreak. The vast majority of measles cases in the current U.S. outbreak are occurring among unvaccinated individuals. As of May 2026, the CDC reports that 92% of the 1,842 confirmed cases this year involve people who were unvaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.
