Dr. Deborah Birx: Measles Outbreak Should Not Be Happening

Thought Leader: Deborah Birx

Dr. Deborah Birx, who helped coordinate the U.S. COVID response and now works to boost vaccination rates, joins NewsNation to discuss the country’s first measles-related death in a decade. The case occurred in Texas, where about 20 others remain quarantined in a hospital. During a Cabinet meeting, President Trump turned to newly appointed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a response. In recent years, measles cases have surged, with past outbreaks linked to unvaccinated religious communities. Now, with vaccination rates declining nationwide, some are questioning whether RFK Jr., a known vaccine skeptic, has played a role in that trend.
