Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

As if having cancer or an immune deficiency as a kid isn’t bad enough, those patients also can’t receive vaccines. They rely on herd immunity, others doing the right thing. It’s the same with infants who are too young to be vaccinated but are also at increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

For herd immunity against measles, 92-95% of the population must be vaccinated. As a live vaccine MMR can’t be given to pts who are immune suppressed (including pts receiving chemo/radiation or immunosuppression) And it’s not effective in newborns. So if you CAN get it, we REALLY need you to.
