"RFK Jr. told Fox earlier this month that he was delivering vitamin A to measles-stricken communities in West Texas immediately. But a Texas health official told The Atlantic that no doses of vitamin A ever arrived at the state health department—not because RFK Jr. broke his promise, but because Texas doctors didn’t want them."

Patricia Callahan noting that the CDC buried a measles forecast stressing need for vaccination:

And Stephanie Kirchgaessner on the resignation of Dr. Peter Marks, top US vaccine official, in protest over RFKJr's misinformation:

The #Trump admin on Fri pushed out Peter Marks, the nation’s top #vaccine regulator & an architect of the US program to rapidly develop #coronavirus #vaccines, a move that comes as #HHS Secy #RFKJr continues his *overhaul* [destruction] of the nation’s #health & #science agencies amid a worsening #US outbreak of #measles.

Marks, who joined the FDA in 2012 & had overseen its Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research since 2016, was offered the choice to resign or be fired….

He opted to resign.

"The federal government reported on Friday that there have been 483 confirmed cases of measles across 20 US jurisdictions so far this year, with the largest outbreak in Texas, and 70 people across the nation needing to be hospitalized.

That compares with 285 cases of measles in the US for the whole of 2024."

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations

The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

"Kansas has joined Texas in the ongoing measles outbreak, with 23 confirmed cases across six counties. Of those cases, 20 are in unvaccinated patients, and all but two are children.

On March 13, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment confirmed the state’s first measles case since 2018."
