U.S. Experiencing Largest Measles Outbreak in 30 Years

The U.S. is experiencing its largest measles outbreak in 30 years with more than 2,300 confirmed cases as of last month. A cluster of infections has been reported in states like Arizona, Delaware, South Carolina and Utah as vaccination rates plummet due to the Trump administration’s policies and misinformation. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. continues to defend his role in propelling anti-vaccine policies and skepticism nationwide. In an interview with CNN Sunday, RFK Jr. failed to take responsibility for the measles outbreak. Dana Bash: “The outbreak is happening on your watch. And even before becoming HHS secretary, for years you have been one of the leading voices questioning the efficacy of vaccines. Do you accept some responsibility for this measles outbreak?” www.democracynow.org
