RFK Jr, noted vaccine sceptic, backs measles jab amid deadly US outbreak

Al Jazeera  

US health secretary says he is ‘deeply concerned’ about outbreak in Texas. Robert F Kennedy Jr, the top health official in the United States who is known for his scepticism of vaccines, has backed the measles jab amid a deadly outbreak of the infectious disease in Texas. In an opinion piece published by Fox News on Sunday, Kennedy said he was “deeply concerned” about the spread of the disease despite earlier suggesting that it was “not unusual”. The US secretary of health and human services said that before the introduction of the MMR vaccine, “virtually every child” in the US contracted measles. US authorities last month reported the first measles death in the country in a decade after an unvaccinated school-aged child was hospitalised with the disease in northwest Texas.
