What are the tangle consequences of losing status? Medical tests before travel? New visa requirements?

(Separately, if America’s states were each countries, who would and wouldn’t be losing status?)

Unless I'm reading the numbers wrong, we're having a bigger issues here in the UK[1], with 2091 cases in 2024, though that dropped to more than half last year. We have already lost our measles elimination status.

unfortunately conservatism isn't limited to US. Its a global disease at this point.

Is it more fair to call it anti-intellectualism? I'm neither conservative nor being snarky, honest question.
