A second unvaccinated child, an 8-year-old girl, has died in Texas from a measles-related illness, increasing the death toll from the ongoing outbreak to three. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited to support the family and promote the MMR vaccine, describing it as the most effective preventive measure. The outbreak, concentrated in West Texas, has resulted in nearly 500 total cases and has spread to neighboring states. Amid criticism of his previous comments on vaccines, Kennedy has offered federal support in combating the outbreak and stressed the importance of vaccinations to avoid future deaths.
