RFK Jr. Admits Measles Tied to Pennsylvania Infant Death, Sparks CDC Reporting Debate
TL;DR Summary
RFK Jr. publicly acknowledged that a measles infection caused an infant’s death in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, amid a contested claim about two measles-related infant deaths; the coroner later said only one death was measles-related (the other involved a newborn with Amish lethal microcephaly and a ruptured spleen), prompting Kennedy to challenge CDC reporting and seek removal of measles data from dashboards, while Governor Josh Shapiro criticizes him as measles cases rise nationwide.
