The median number of Measles deaths among children in the US for the last 50 years has been 0.
That's the benchmark. ANY more is a failure of policy. Bobby is currently a failed Secretary.
You cannot yadda-yadda the life of a child that should not die.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
