The CDC's decision to exclude two deaths reported by Pennsylvania from updates of the national measles death tally "came from new CDC director Erica Schwartz, according to three former and current officials familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation."

The CDC left two measles-associated Pa. deaths out of its latest count after RFK Jr. sparred with Gov. Shapiro
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania of not cooperating with the CDC in its handling of a measles outbreak.

Wait. Do republicans think doctors work for free under universal healthcare? Does she think doctors who see Medicare patients don’t get paid?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 12h agoLisa McClain questions why El-Sayed's wife doesn't treat patients for free if he's really a supporter of universal healthcare 🤔
When MAGA decides to believe something, they ask if it’s convenient, not it it’s true. The latter question is inconsequential.

The biggest untold story about how we pay for government involves a big switcheroo by America’s wealthy. Watch.
