Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., faced criticism for praising doctors who treat measles with non-vaccine methods during a measles outbreak in West Texas. Kennedy attended the funeral of an unvaccinated 8-year-old girl who died from the virus, emphasizing the importance of vaccination. The doctors he commended have promoted controversial treatments like aerosolized budesonide and clarithromycin for measles. Critics on social media condemned Kennedy for endorsing these doctors and their alternative approaches to treating the highly contagious disease. Despite the outbreak, Kennedy has expressed support for vaccines and announced plans for clinical trials on alternative therapies.
