Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current global health landscape is marked by multiple infectious disease threats, including a significant rise in measles cases across the US and Europe, which is exacerbated by declining vaccination rates and public skepticism about vaccine safety. Concurrently, avian flu outbreaks in poultry and other animals pose a risk of zoonotic spillover, while COVID-19 continues to present challenges with long-term health impacts and vaccine efficacy concerns. The spread of misinformation further complicates public health efforts, undermining vaccination campaigns and contributing to vaccine hesitancy. These factors collectively elevate the risk of widespread infectious disease outbreaks.
