Measles deaths rise in US as outbreak toll climbs abroad
Original: measles
Measles is making deadly headlines on two fronts. New York State has reported its first fatal measles case in 30 years, while Pennsylvania has logged its sixth measles death this year — a figure that conflicts with the CDC's stated count of two, drawing criticism of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s agency. Internationally, the death toll in an ongoing outbreak has reached 1,222 after eight more children died in a single day.
Why now: A rare child death in New York and disputed fatality counts have put measles outbreaks back in the news.
