"In 2024, under the Biden administration, there were 258 cases of measles. And in 2025, under your leadership at HHS, it ballooned to over 2,000. That's a 675% increase."
"If we project those numbers out for all of 2026, we can expect a whopping 6,400 cases of measles. That's a 2,380% increase in a preventable disease."
"I was appalled to learn the CDC suspended public-health messaging on vaccines last February. It ended a successful flu vaccine campaign, as well."
"The anti-vaccine rhetoric you ran on and the anti-vaccine actions you have taken over the last year clearly correlate with the dramatic increases, again, in preventable diseases."
Rep. Linda Sanchez confronted HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about the significant rise in measles cases since he took office. In 2024, there were 258 cases, which skyrocketed to over 2,000 in 2025, marking a 675% increase. Projections for 2026 suggest 6,400 cases, a 2,380% increase. Sanchez linked this rise to anti-vaccine rhetoric and actions taken by Kennedy. She expressed concern over the CDC's suspension of pro-vaccine messaging and questioned whether President Trump approved this decision.
