Pennsylvania has confirmed a third death linked to measles, transforming what began as a cluster of cases into an outbreak measured in human lives. Measles — long considered a relic of a less vaccinated era — continues to find its way to the most vulnerable among us: the very young, the immunocompromised, those whose bodies cannot raise a defense. Each death in this outbreak is a reminder that the distance between a preventable disease and a fatal one is often nothing more than a gap in vaccination coverage.
