En México, una enfermedad que la ciencia aprendió a prevenir hace décadas sigue cobrando vidas: el sarampión ha matado a 41 personas desde enero de 2025, y el ritmo de contagio en 2026 supera con creces al del año anterior. Lo que comenzó como un brote concentrado se ha convertido en una emergencia nacional que toca los 32 estados, recordándonos que la vulnerabilidad colectiva crece cuando la protección individual se debilita. Son los más pequeños —los que aún no pueden defenderse con una vacuna completa— quienes pagan el precio más alto.
