Abstract
A recently published measles seroprevalence study of about 350,000 individuals in Ontario underscored the fragility of Canada’s measles elimination status and revealed notable immunity gaps among adolescents, young adults, and immigrant populations (Ariyarajah et al., 2025). The findings corroborate Ontario’s epidemiological reality in 2025, marked by an alarming resurgence of measles. As of July 2025, Public Health Ontario has reported more than 2,000 confirmed cases of measles, making it the highest annual total since measles was officially eliminated in Canada (Public Health Ontario, 2025). The age distribution of the majority of measles cases reported in 2025 aligns closely with the findings of Ariyarajah et al. (2025).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
