A Georgia county coroner has officially confirmed that a 6-week-old baby died of severe complications from measles, directly contradicting recent public assertions by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. downplaying the fatality.
The official autopsy report and death certificate confirm that the infant succumbed to viral pneumonia caused by measles, marking the latest casualty in an ongoing regional outbreak fueled by declining vaccination rates. The coroner's public statement comes after Secretary Kennedy publicly questioned the initial medical reports during a televised interview, prompting swift pushback from public health officials and medical associations urging accurate reporting on preventable infectious diseases.
