Measles outbreak in US staggers health officials, including HHS Secretary Alex Azar

In a country that had all but eradicated the disease, and had even moved on to helping to eliminate it around the globe, there are new alarm bells about the spread of measles in the United States. He and others, including Anthony Fauci, M.D., the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have attributed the outbreak to reports over the last several years- which have proven to be false- linking vaccines to autism and other conditions. Azar said it’s reversed progress and put lives at risk.
