CDC Raises Measles Death Count Again; MAHA Summit Takeaways; Kennedy's Vax AI Plans
The CDC has revised its measles death count upward to two, though this still falls short of the four deaths Pennsylvania has reported. At this week's MAHA summit, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized doctors and argued that artificial intelligence can provide better medical care than they do. Separately, at a MAHA Institute event earlier in the week, Kennedy said he wants to collect Americans' health and lifestyle data and feed it into AI systems to search for links between vaccines and health outcomes.
