Robert Kennedy Jr. the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) has misled the public about the measles outbreak. This could have severe ramifications.

[e henry]

RFK Jr. said in the first Trump Administration Cabinet Meeting yesterday that the measles outbreak in Texas is normal, that the US sees outbreaks every year. This is the first reported death in the US in a decade. He also said that the 18 patients in the hospital were there "mainly for quarantine." The hospital refutes that claim saying all of the patients are being treated for respiratory illness; "We don't hospitalize for quarantine purposes." The cases are in 9 states now. If you want more information I am posting links to articles and a video plus the Roll Call transcript of the Cabinet meeting. You can read more from the links below.
