RFK Jr. goes full anti-vaccine bananas over two measles deaths—one was a newborn
摘要
美国卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪在宾夕法尼亚州报告两例麻疹死亡病例后，在社交媒体上发布大量反疫苗言论和错误信息。这是该州35年来首例麻疹死亡病例，也是2026年美国报告的首批麻疹死亡病例，目前该州疫情已涉及近400例确诊病例。全美今年已累计报告约2800例病例，为1991年以来最高水平。两名死者均为兰开斯特县未接种疫苗者，其中一名为新生儿。
In the wake of news on Tuesday that two people in Pennsylvania died from measles, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been posting a slew of anti-vaccine rhetoric and misinformation on social media—marking a resurgence of his old ways as a fervent opponent of lifesaving immunizations.
The deaths are the first measles-linked fatalities in Pennsylvania in 35 years and are the first US measles deaths reported in 2026. They occurred amid an explosive outbreak in the state that has reached nearly 400 confirmed cases, as well as an ongoing nationwide surge for the vaccine-preventable disease. The US has tallied nearly 2,800 cases so far this year, the highest total since 1991.
Pennsylvania health officials initially declined to provide details about the deaths, only reporting that they were in unvaccinated people from Lancaster County. However, news broke Wednesday that one of the deaths occurred in a newborn baby. That heart-wrenching news was swiftly entangled in the anti-vaccine misinformation Kennedy was spewing online.
