FACT FOCUS: RFK Jr. claims US leads in controlling measles spread
AP News
—
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has claimed at his first congressional hearing in months that, under his leadership, the U.S. has limited the spread of measles better than any other country in the world.
Measles is spreading around the world and some countries have much larger outbreaks.
But experts say the U.S. is getting worse, not better, at protecting people against the spread of measles, because vaccination rates have been falling.
They say Kennedy's mixed messages on vaccine safety have undermined efforts to reverse that trend.
