In Loveland, Colorado, a preventable disease crossed state lines inside an unvaccinated traveler and found its way into a hospital — one of the places where the vulnerable gather and the cost of contagion is highest. Health officials moved swiftly to trace the exposure windows at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies, reminding a community that measles, long thought vanquished, persists wherever immunity falters. The episode is less an anomaly than a recurring lesson: the virus does not respect borders, and the gaps we leave in collective protection are the spaces through which it moves.
