Measles et al never died out, despite very aggressive, and for years successful vaccination programmes (thank you anti-vaccesrs for messing that up).

But even if we all need to get vaccinated once a year, for a 90% immunity, that sounds manageable. So good news, if it all holds up.

Measles is also famously contagious, with R values on the order of 3-6x higher than COVID-19.

Measles was eradicated in the Americas. Wasn't until an antivaxer brought it back from Europe we had an outbreak.

Which is another way of saying, it wasn't eradicated.
