Pennsylvania remains gripped by an ongoing measles outbreak. The state has so far reported four deaths, making this the deadliest outbreak in decades. All four of those who have died were unvaccinated, putting Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy firmly in the spotlight.
In 2021, while leading the anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense, Kennedy spoke at a farm event in Lancaster County and minimized concerns, telling people that “the cure for measles is chicken soup and vitamin A” and that when he got measles as a kid he just “had to stay home and watch TV the whole week.”
