Kudos to the @washingtonpost for debunking the claim in the headline. But they still led with the lie. :-/

Traditional news structure does NOT work for stories like these. The who-what-when-where-why-how formula does a disservice to the greater good.
Zedler was born in 1943.
When he was a child, 450 people died annually from the measles; 48,000 were hospitalized; millions got the disease.
The vaccine was introduced in 1962; it took until 2000 to almost eliminate the disease.

Measles is a disease so contagious that 90% of unvaccinated people who come in contact with an infected person will get the disease. The virus remains alive for two hours after that infected person left the room. cdc.gov/measles/hcp/in…
