Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US
- A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.
- With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.
- So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.
- Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.

Quick Glance: Trump Asks Appeals Court to Reverse Decision on Georgia Prosecutor
- Donald Trump asked a Georgia appeals court to disqualify the district attorney prosecuting him for attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat in the state due to a romantic relationship the prosecutor had with a former top deputy.
- The appeal provides another opportunity for the former U.S. president to delay or derail one of the four criminal cases he faces.
- Trump's lawyers accused Willis of "stoking racial animus" in her response to the allegations and misleading the court on when the romantic relationship began.
- Willis has characterized the disqualification bid as an effort to distract from racketeering and other charges against Trump and 14 co-defendants accused of scheming to overturn Trump's narrow defeat in Georgia in the 2020 election.
