Two people died of measles in Pennsylvania, one of them a newborn baby.
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared anti-vaccine conspiracy theories about the deaths and claimed vaccines might be responsible.
Kennedy targeted the MMR vaccine on social media, criticized Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and suggested the deaths might even be "completely fabricated." These claims were based on a Lancaster County commission's tweet stating "no measles deaths."
Experts explained the newborn's death was caused by the measles virus enlarging and rupturing a clot.
Dr. Paul Offit emphasized the patients would not have died if they did not have measles, highlighting that Kennedy was spreading misleading information.
