The share of counties where 95% or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles has dropped from 50% before the pandemic to 28%, according to our analysis of public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. At least 19,000 schools are now more vulnerable to outbreaks.

We measured three metrics: daily watch time, app opens, and time to swipe to next video.

Heavier users continued to spend over 4 hrs a day on TikTok.
