The movement against vaccinations is expanding and is the cause of deadly outbreaks of fully preventable  diseases like measles. In addition, the COVID 19 pandemic brought disruptions of routine immunizations in several countries in Africa as the New York Times World (@nytimesworld) tweeted on Saturday Sep 24, 2022 reporting about Zimbabwe:

In Zimbabwe, Covid disrupted routine immunizations, the public health system has been crippled by political and economic crises, and an evangelical church warns parents against vaccinations. Now more than 700 children have died in a measles outbreak. https://t.co/ltHQ5ZeWRU
