The measles outbreak in West Texas and New Mexico has resulted in two confirmed deaths, one being an unvaccinated adult and the other a school-aged child. Health officials express concern about the federal government's focus on treatments like vitamin A and nutrition rather than prioritizing vaccination efforts. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has advocated for personal choice in vaccination while promoting the benefits of vitamin A, sparking worry among infectious disease experts who caution that preventing measles through vaccination remains paramount over the discussion of alternative treatments.
