A measles outbreak in Texas has raised concerns among health experts as it marks the first fatality in the U.S. linked to measles in over ten years. 146 confirmed cases highlight the urgency of vaccination efforts. Notably, former anti-vaccine advocate Robert Kennedy Jr. expressed newfound support for vaccines, which has disconcerted his previous supporters. This significant change of stance after years of opposing vaccinations underscores the severity of the outbreak and the ongoing public health challenges surrounding vaccination acceptance.
Kennedy has seemingly done a 180. In an op-ed for Fox News, Kennedy said that he was 'deeply concerned' about the developing situation and that 'vaccines not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity.'
The situation in Texas is alarming, with 146 confirmed measles cases including one death, marking the first fatality related to measles in the US in over a decade.
