Why the Trump administration’s messaging on the Texas measles outbreak strikes some experts as off-key.
In 2019, amid a measles outbreak in New York, federal health officials uniformly preached the power of immunizations.
“Measles is preventable and the way to end this outbreak is to ensure that all children and adults who can get vaccinated, do get vaccinated,” said Robert Redfield, then the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health Secretary Alex Azar echoed that, saying “the suffering we are seeing today is completely avoidable.”
