RFK Jr.'s mixed message about the measles outbreaks draws criticism from health officials
82% Informative
Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s efforts to contain an epidemic in a tight-knit, religious community in West Texas have run counter to established public health strategies.
Kennedy has not been regularly briefed in person on the outbreak by his own infectious disease experts at the CDC .
Kennedy 's inconsistent and unclear message on the measles vaccines has also made the outbreaks difficult to contain, experts say.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has not held any news conferences about the outbreak and posted just once on social media about measles since January .
Hawaii Gov. Josh Green , a Democrat and a doctor, made front page news last week after urging Hawaiians to take up vaccines.
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen , a Republican , unequivocally called on people to vaccinate themselves and their children.
