Deaths from measles' exposure is at a 35 year high. This is not a political issue. This is a survival issue.
...In the first seven months of 2025, (click here) confirmed measles cases have reached 1,288— marking the most infections since 1992.While weekly reported cases have slowed over the past few months, the CDC’s figure surpasses the high of 1,274 cases in 2019 and marks a grim milestone for the U.S. as immunization coverage wanes across the country and the federal government’s vaccine policy shifts under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr....
Now, RFK, Jr. is stating the Governor of Pennsylvania is lying about two deaths from measles exposure.

...Shapiro then criticized Kennedy (click here) — a longtime vaccine skeptic — for his rhetoric around vaccines, which the governor said hasn’t helped stem the measles epidemic that has driven cases in the U.S. to a 35-year high. But Shapiro’s refusal to release further details about the deaths, citing patient privacy, has given Kennedy room to argue he is hiding something — or fabricating the deaths outright.
Vaccination advocates told POLITICO they’re worried Shapiro and Pennsylvania health officials’ secrecy has given Kennedy an opportunity to again cast the public health establishment as villains, just as he did during the pandemic, when he said officials were inflating the death toll by counting people who died of another disease but had also tested positive for Covid. The result has been a hardening of the positions dividing partisans in the fight over the latest infectious disease scourge....
I am so tired of naivety serving the devil in the White House.

The word of the day is VIRAL LOAD. The information below is about a treatment for Hepatis C.
EPCLUSA (click here) (sofosbuvir 400 mg/velpatasvir 100 mg, 200 mg/50 mg tablets; 200 mg/50 mg, 150 mg/37.5 mg oral pellets) is indicated for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients 3 years of age and older with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1-6 infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis....
In order for viruses to effectively cause disease, yet alone death, there first has to be a successful viral population in the body. When the virus is able to produce enough of itself using the pirated DNA of the victim to make someone sick it is due to viral load. Viral load is the number and density of virus in a person's body. There are many treatments these days that are dictated in GOOD PRACTICE by the viral load in a person., Hepatitis C is one of them.
Today we not only have a treatment for Hep C, but, we also have a VACCINE for Hep B a far more dangerous strain of the hepatitis virus. Not long ago there was a rather large outbreak of Hepatitis A in Michigan. It is not as dangerous as Hep B or C, but, it complicates the medical picture for many vulnerable people.
A better illustration is the treatment now available for COVID-19 besides the vaccine. There were so many elderly patients succumbing to the virus, Pfizer the multinational pharmaceutical giant, researched to find a cure/treatment for people infected with the COVID-19 virus and exhibiting symptoms that were dangerous. The name of the pills are PAXLOVID (click here)
Paxlovid will cure, literally cure, the exposure to COVID-19 so long as the infection is caught in time to stem the viral load. If memory serves me the pills must START to be consumed within five days of exposure. The pills are very large. They are taken twice a day. There are three of the pills to take for each dose. The reason for all those restrictions on use is that the human body can only tolerate a certain amount of the medication compounds. If the viral load exceeds the amount the human body can tolerate it would require a higher dose that could result in poisoning the individual. So, in order to prevent harm and end the danger of viral exposure Pfizer found that the viral load established by the virus in five days could be controlled and defeated. Pfizer conducted very careful and quite a magnificent investigation to establish an AFTER EXPOSURE treatment and it works beautifully.
The case with any reporting of viral exposures will not be complete for every case. It is a matter of patient privacy. But, the state government in Pennsylvania is expected, by law and GOOD PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE, to report deaths of any disease, not just measles. I might add there are some states that do not cooperate with such reporting and that is unfortunate. Why Kennedy isn't going after states that do not report is anyone's guess. Probably campaign financing. Reporting means compliance. They probably aren't compliant.
But, to return to this issue surrounding viral infections and reporting deaths, the entire picture has to be told in order to understand the impact of disease and in this case the measles. If a vulnerable person, young and old especially, are exposed to a virus they are more susceptible to adverse effects of viral loads. The viral loads can be produced by more than one species of virus. Let's say an elderly person comes down with the flu. That is dangerous enough for their immune system to fight off, but, what if they are also exposed to measles along with the flu? There will be two virus species the body has to identify and produce immunity to fight the viral load. In this case it is a double viral load and not just one.
A person's body has just so much reserves to fight disease. The human body is incredible in fighting disease, but, it has a limit. In the case of fighting more than one species of virus, it is like the invading army of two separate enemy countries. If the battle is divided the resources are used up and the fight may not be successful. So, when a person succumbs to disease and in this case two separate virus it is paramount to know exactly what the viruses were and which one or both killed them.
The idea a Pennsylvania governor is lying about public health policy is bizarre. Governor Shapiro is known to care deeply about the people of Pennsylvania and that has proven out over and over. On the other hand, RFK, Jr. is as diabolical as Trump. They are not trustworthy and the only thing they care about is power. They don't care about people.
If the dead succumbed to two species of virus both had to be reported and in the case of deaths in a hospital there is a record about the patient and treatment. A hospital death is considered above reproach and may not have to undergo autopsy. The hospital record stands on it's own and a death certificate is issued reflecting the facts of the hospital record.
There is absolutely no reason to rehash any reported death. The deaths are reported by reputable people understanding the course of the disease that caused the death. RFK, Jr., no different than Hegseth or any of Trump's minions lie like rugs. They are crooked and racketeers and never should be given validity over and above reliable and trustworthy sources.
