(November 2, 2026) – Based on information currently available, the New York State Department of Health and Lewis County Public Health issued the following joint statement on the first known measles-associated death in New York State in more than 30 years: "We are deeply saddened by the death of a child in Lewis County associated with the ongoing measles outbreak.

"We urge New Yorkers to ensure they are up to date on measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations and speak to their healthcare provider about immunizations." https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2026/2026-11-02_measles.htm #measles #death #publichealth

"The worst measles epidemic in more than 30 years continues unabated, while the Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary is downplaying measles deaths and openly feuding with a sitting governor.

Exclusive∶ #RFKJr said a Samoa trip had nothing to do with #vaccines. New documents refute that. “Health” Secy RFKJr repeatedly told lawmakers who held the key to his confirmation last year that a 2019 visit to Samoa before a deadly #measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines.” New documents obtained by The AP & The Guardian refute that testimony. #PublicHealth #science #medicine #Trump #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #law #policy #insurance #eugenics

Shameful #RFKJr targets #Fauci & pushes #medical #misinformation in fiery CNN interview In attempting to rewrite the history of the #US #Covid-19 response, “Health” Secy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday pinned the blame for pandemic lockdowns on Dr. Anthony Fauci, while simultaneously reviving a string of debunked assertions about #vaccines, #RSV & #measles. #Trump #PublicHealth #science #medicine #PublicDisservice #eugenics #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol

…As #HHS secretary, Kennedy’s skepticism of mainstream #science is no longer just outsider rhetoric; it now shapes official federal #policy. His efforts to reframe the #pandemic’s legacy come as the #US battles its worst #measles resurgence in more than three decades — a crisis experts warn is fueled directly by the type of #vaccine #misinformation & institutional distrust #RFKJr amplified during the broadcast. #Trump #PublicHealth #medicine #eugenics #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #USpol
