Lancaster County Challenges Measles Death Claims | Harrisburg News

Lancaster County officials are fiercely disputing the state’s claim of two measles-related deaths, arguing the state is withholding evidence and misleading the public. County Commissioner Josh Parsons highlights that in one case, the infant tested positive for measles but the coroner found no direct link to the disease as the cause of death — citing a lacerated spleen instead. Parsons demands transparency from Governor Josh Shapiro and the Department of Health, accusing them of asking for trust without providing proof. The dispute has escalated, with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the CDC accusing Pennsylvania of non-cooperation, while state officials insist they’ve fully cooperated and shared all legally permissible information. Meanwhile, measles cases continue to surge — with 460 total reported in Pennsylvania, 210 alone in Lancaster County.
