An unvaccinated child died at the end of February in Texas – the first death from measles in a decade – as the highly contagious disease is spreading in the southwestern part of the country.

Robert F. Kennedy, in his first comments on measles as the new Trump health secretary, says the outbreak is not unusual. 'We have measles outbreaks every year.'

I recognize the serious impact of this outbreak on families, children, and healthcare workers,” Kennedy wrote on X Friday night.
