Despite CDC and state health officials confirming those deaths, Kennedy questions their cause, citing local coroner findings. Experts are alarmed, calling it unusual and potentially politically motivated — especially since the CDC is now re-evaluating how it classifies measles deaths nationwide, even as no deaths are currently logged for this year. Pennsylvania stands by its data, while the Lancaster coroner remains silent. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
