Kennedy vs Shapiro Over Measles Crisis | Philadelphia News

Pennsylvania’s grappling with a deadly measles outbreak, with two unvaccinated victims dead — the first such deaths in decades. Governor Josh Shapiro is publicly clashing with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing him of spreading dangerous misinformation that’s driving people away from vaccines. Shapiro claims their blunt phone call revealed Kennedy’s rhetoric is directly fueling the crisis, while Kennedy bizarrely questioned whether the deaths even occurred. With 393 confirmed cases — all in unvaccinated individuals — and 86 new cases last week, officials warn the situation is worsening. Kennedy also claimed Shapiro admitted vaccination drops happened under Biden, which Shapiro fiercely denied. Shapiro argues Kennedy’s attacks on public health agencies and dismissal of medical science are accelerating outbreaks, recalling past instances where Kennedy downplayed measles and promoted quack remedies.
