It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

I’m not into conspiracy theories and I have absolutely no facts to suggest this is true but would anyone put it past Trump and RFK Jerkoff to intentionally start an outbreak of an infectious disease in a blue state to terrorize them and/or to create chaos? Maybe to bring down a blue state governor?
