RFK Jr visits epicentre of measles outbreak after death of second infected child
US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited the epicentre of Texas' still-growing measles outbreak, the same day a funeral was held for a second young child who was not vaccinated and died from a measles-related illness.
Knnedy said in a social media post that he was working to "control the outbreak" and went to Gaines County on Sunday to comfort the families who have buried two young children.
He was seen outside of a Mennonite church where the funeral services were held, but he did not attend a nearby news conference held by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about the outbreak.
