Summary
Measles is making a deadly comeback in the U.S., with Pennsylvania reporting two deaths linked to the virus — but the CDC is holding off on official confirmation, demanding more evidence that measles was the direct cause. State officials say both victims tested positive and were unvaccinated, while Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. questioned the speed of the announcement, calling it possibly politically motivated. With nearly 3,000 cases this year — already beating last year’s total — experts warn this resurgence is tied to falling vaccination rates. The MMR vaccine remains the most powerful defense, offering 97% lifetime immunity. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
