CDC, Pennsylvania clash over measles deaths

The CDC is disputing two measles deaths reported by Pennsylvania, excluding them from its official weekly tally. This action marks a radical departure from the agency's normal practice of accepting state data. Historically, state health departments determine cases and deaths rather than the CDC. These specific deaths were questioned by RFK Jr., leading the CDC to report and subsequently delete the figures, creating a significant clash over the classification of measles fatalities within the United States.
