The tweet refers to measles "cases," but the chart shows only deaths from measles.

Measles is still dangerous and spreads when vaccination rates fall. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2775295 https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/history.html https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles
