      Data source: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention measles case counts, mirrored by Our World in Data. The 2026 figure is year-to-date through May 7 per the CDC’s latest update.

      Tools: Python, matplotlib, Claude Code

      From this sub’s rules 3 and 4: „Original Content is a post where the person who posted the [/r/DataIsBeautiful](https://www.reddit.com/r/DataIsBeautiful) submission is also the author of the visual displayed. This means that they had gone through the steps of **(1) working with the data**, **(2) performing the analysis**, and finally **(3) designing the visual**.“

      From the bottom of OP’s link

      >How this chart was made
      An AI agent built this chart end-to-end… It pulled CDC annual measles case counts via Our World in Data, computed the 2001-2024 post-elimination median, rendered the result as a bar chart with that empirical baseline drawn directly on the plot, and iterated on the design…

      So the person posting the submission has not actually worked with the data, performed the analysis or designed the visual.

      Not to be pedantic, but if it was below the elimination threshold for decades, why wasn’t it eliminated? I keep hearing “way to go anti-vaxxers, we had this eliminated” yet clearly we did not eliminate a disease if it so quickly spread once the protocol lapsed.

      EDIT: Thanks for all the detailed, thoughtful responses. Removing the bit about smallpox as that is a different category of eradication.

      Republicans and religious nuts are responsible for this. They hate science and unfortunately dont just take themselves out of the general pool. They instead want to take others out too.
