Experts Push Back on RFK Jr’s Infection Comments The new Secretary of Health and Human Services has made claims about measles and other communicable diseases that could lead to sickness, and even death, his critics claim.

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: β€œIf you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”

That is dangerously false.
