RFK Jr. goes full anti-vaccine bananas over two measles deaths—one was a newborn

Two measles deaths in Pennsylvania, the first U.S. fatalities in 2026 and the first in the state in 35 years, occurred among unvaccinated individuals, including a newborn from Lancaster County, amid an outbreak nearing 400 confirmed cases. The nation has reported nearly 2,800 measles cases this year, the highest total since 1991, prompting Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to post anti-vaccine messages on social media.
