### The Osterholm Quote
The current measles outbreak is "a harbinger of things to come. We have created an environment where routine immunization of children is no longer something that we can count on happening. This is not a prediction to scare people. It’s a prediction to say, ‘Look, this is going to happen if we don't do something different to better understand the importance of these vaccines.'"
