A measles surge meets vaccine skepticism

As vaccination rates decline nationally and measles cases rise globally, experts warn the US measles death toll could climb this year and beyond. Medical professionals stress that vaccines are highly safe and effective, and serious vaccine injuries are extremely rare. But Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to cast doubt on their safety and effectiveness. On Thursday, he received a standing ovation at a conference hosted by the anti-vaccine advocacy group Children’s Health Defense, where he delivered the keynote address. Amid the worst US measles outbreak in decades — driven largely by unvaccinated people — Kennedy said he would not restrict access to vaccines but spoke critically about them and vowed to fight for those who share his views.

I've been thinking about that, and for me I know no one that has died from a vaccine shot! Now that doesn't mean that there are people that have not died from vaccines? No!! But, from what I've read it's a very low number, and also from what I've read they're also other complications that contribute to the death total!!!
