ABOUT THOSE "TWO PENNSYLVANIA MEASLES DEATHS...."

EXCERPTS BELOW---but please read the entire article at the link below



The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday said it would not include two measles-associated deaths in Pennsylvania in the federal agency’s weekly outbreak update, explaining it is still investigating the cause of the deaths.

State officials have said there were two measles-associated deaths in Lancaster County last week. The county coroner confirmed one of those deaths was not due directly to measles, saying a newborn infant died from a ruptured spleen shortly after birth. The Pennsylvania Department of Health said there was a second reported measles-associated death, but has offered almost no detail on it so far, making it unclear whether the death was caused by measles or not.

....."Today, we see the consequences of a lack of immunizations in the first measles-associated deaths that our commonwealth has seen in 35 years," Shapiro said Tuesday alongside Dr. Debra Bogen at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Hospital........

.....Kennedy suggested Shapiro was weaponizing the fatalities to pressure residents into getting vaccinated without evidence that the two individuals died directly because of measles. The HHS secretary accused Shapiro’s office of shattering tradition and violating “standard public health policy by refusing to share information with the County Health Department or CDC.”

.....Kennedy wrote in a post to X. “The performance was a replay of the Democrats' COVID playbook: fearmongering, misinformation, finger-pointing, and the weaponization of infectious disease fears for political gain.” MORE AT CDC omits Pennsylvania measles deaths from weekly update pending review
