In the forested valleys of São Paulo state, yellow fever has claimed two more lives — men of 54 and 64 from the small city of Lagoinha, neither of whom had been vaccinated against a disease for which a free, effective vaccine has long existed. Their deaths bring the state's 2026 toll to five fatalities among nine confirmed cases, a quiet accumulation of preventable loss that health authorities are now working urgently to halt. The outbreak follows a pattern as old as public health itself: a virus moving through the unprotected, while the means of protection waits unused.
