Vaccines (thread 4), Episode 6: Florence Nightingale vs. Measles: Counting the Cost of Hesitancy

Florence Nightingale applies her data-driven public health approach to a modern measles outbreak, treating it as an administrative failure rather than a mystery. She would gather case counts, vaccination rates, hospitalizations, and deaths to show that measles in a vaccinated society is preventable.

Nightingale condemns vaccine hesitancy and incompetence as moral failures and advocates for enforced public health infrastructure and accountability. Preventable death is indefensible, and she would keep tallying the numbers until policy changes.
