This would be the second pediatric death amid a fast-growing outbreak thatβs infected nearly 500 people in Texas alone since January. An adult in New Mexico is also suspected of dying from measles. The deaths are the first from the disease in the United States in a decade.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was expected to attend the childβs funeral, which is scheduled for Sunday, according to a spokesperson familiar with the plans.
As of Friday, the Texas Department of State Health Services said 481 cases of measles had been confirmed, a 14% jump over last week.
That includes six infants and toddlers at a Lubbock day care center who tested positive within the past two weeks.

Really great exploration of the Hancock universe and the hit Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse. Definitely worth a listen. Added bonus: Paul is married to regular QAA guest Annie Kelly, and their dynamic on the show is adorable. https://soundcloud.com/qanonanonymous/graham-hancocks-ancient-apocalypse-e318

Whatβs yours and why?
