We're heading toward the end of the year, with 1,563 official documented cases in the US (and likely hundreds, if not thousands, more that were hidden). There are active cases in South Carolina where more than 150 unvaccinated children are quarantined, and here in Ohio where an unvaccinated family who traveled internationally brought the virus back to the Columbus area. More cases are still being found at the Utah/Arizona border and in Minnesota, with 41 states reporting at least one outbreak (=3 or more linked cases) this year. Meanwhile, the CDC has been relatively silent on the epidemic as vaccination rates continue to drop. This is a bad omen when we're only in year 1 of the Trump presidency. More at the link in comments.
