I guess all the davening, tehillim, and shteiging “in the world” didn’t prevent the measles disease from afflicting those communities. In life we certainly need all of the above (first and foremost), followed by our own histadlus of getting vaccinated, proper nutrition and exercise, and conscience health decisions. Hashem will not perform obvious open miracles (as witnessed in Taanach) since the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash
