CDC says he is on the ground in Texas to help in a measles outbreak



The agency said on Tuesday that CDC Centers (CDC) on Earth in Texas to help the state reduce measles.

The agency said in a statement on the social platform X that it had sent some of the “diseases investigators” in the epidemic intelligence services (EIS) to the West Texas region, on the same day that the state reported 13 additional cases, and the total reached 159.

Twenty -two patients were transferred to the hospital and one child died, the first death of measles in the United States during a decade and the first death in a child in the United States since 2003.

The participation of the Disease Control Center means that Texas officials have requested federal assistance, as the agency cannot send a team without asking an official country.

The Partnership Control Center, known as EPI-ID, is a fast-responding effort as the epidemiological intelligence service officers will provide “pathogenic investigators”-support local officials for a period of three to three weeks. The local authority leads the investigation during cooperation with the experts of the Disease Control Center.

“The outbreak of measles in Texas is an invitation to work for all of us to reaffirm our commitment to public health. By working together – the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Junior said in a statement:

Kennedy said last week that the Disease Control Center was providing “technical assistance and vaccines” to help spread the disease, including laboratory support and send doses of measles-Rubila vaccines (MMR).

Fascism broke out largely within a community of Menonite in Gens County, who historically have lower vaccination rates.

Kennedy reduced the vaccine for a long time, at the beginning of the cabinet ‘outbreak with President Trump last week, saying that he was “unusual” and falsely claimed that many people who entered the hospital were “mainly for quarantine.”

He did not encourage vaccination publicly, although on an opening site on Fox News on Sunday, the parents urged to speak with their doctors “to understand their options for a mmr vaccine” with an emphasis that the vaccination decision was a “personal decision”.

In an interview with Fox News, which was previously recorded on Tuesday, Kennedy said that HHS was shipping doses of vitamin A to Gen’s province, the center of the disease, and was helping the arrangement of the ambulance.

Kennedy was explicitly supported the vaccines in the interview.

He claimed that doctors in the area have reported “very good results” of treating patients with steroids called bodisonide, which is an antibiotic called Clarithromycin and cod liver oil, which he said had high concentrations of vitamin A and vitamin D.

Vitamin A has been used for years in children in developing countries with severe measles, but doctors said evidence of its effectiveness is mixed. It is not widely used in the United States, most likely because children are not vitamin A.
