Federal officials defended their response to the continual spread of the measles virus, pushing back against accusations that Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., had spread misinformation about the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine.
“Secretary Kennedy has been very clear that vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles. Any attempts to spin this are baseless,” Department of Health and Human Services Press Secretary Emily Hilliard told The Independent in an emailed statement. “Individuals should consult with their healthcare provider on what is best for them.”
