Wrong again Tenchusatsu...

From the CDC’s own history page on measles: “Measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000. This meant the absence of the continuous spread of disease was greater than 12 months.” CDC

That wording reflects CDC’s definition of elimination — no continuous endemic transmission has occurred for more than 12 months. CDC

What elimination specifically means (from public-health usage) CDC and public health authorities define elimination as:

“Interruption of endemic measles virus transmission in a defined geographical area for =12 months in the presence of a well-performing surveillance system.” Wikipedia

So the official phrase used by CDC is “eliminated from the United States in 2000,” with the technical meaning that endemic (continuous) spread stopped there. CDC

Important distinction Elimination / Eradication
  • Elimination — no sustained local spread in a region (e.g., U.S. since 2000). CDC
  • Eradication — the disease is gone worldwide (not yet achieved for measles). CDC
So the exact CDC wording is “Measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000” and the technical underpinning is that there was no continuous disease transmission in the U.S. for over 12 months. CDC
