Measles Outbreak Continues to Claim Lives in Texas
A second child has died from measles-related causes in Texas as the state grapples with a severe outbreak that has resulted in nearly 500 cases. The tragic loss, an 8-year-old girl, has garnered attention, prompting notable figures such as RFK Jr. to visit the state and emphasize the importance of the MMR vaccine as the most effective way to combat the disease.
