Measles Deaths Spark Vaccination Debate | Philadelphia News

Governor Shapiro blames unvaccinated individuals, but medical experts and coroners question whether measles directly caused the deaths, citing complicating factors like spleen issues in one infant. Amid confusion over CDC’s lack of updated national data, the public health crisis grows more urgent: with vaccination rates below the 95% threshold needed for herd immunity, experts warn schools could become hotspots for spread—especially as international officials prepare to review America’s measles-free status later this year.
