The Inquirer.com story argued that RFK Jr. and former President Trump cannot be trusted on measles vaccine safety. Substack author Paul Offit followed with a piece asking why RFK Jr. appears to ignore ongoing outbreaks.

Yahoo.com then reported that a Trump health appointee’s actions “erased America’s victory over measles.” Rolling Stone added an investigative look inside what it describes as RFK Jr.’s “backdoor” approach to stop vaccines.
