America .. Texas is recorded the second death associated with "measles"

US media reported on Sunday that a child has died in Texas, where hundreds of measles have been recorded in recent weeks, urging health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior to visit the state. A child who did not get the vaccine died in Texas, affected by measles in February. The New York Times quoted that the girl died at the age of eight due to a “pulmonary failure due to measles” in a hospital in Lubuk, Texas, which killed her the second confirmed, due to measles in the United States. The US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services has not yet responded to a request from “Reuters” to comment on the death of the child or the visit of the state’s health minister. The civil servants also did not respond to requests for comment. Kennedy intends to attend the funeral and the news website “Axius” was the first to visit the news of Kennedy’s visit, and said it was arranged after he was notified of death. NBC News said Kennedy plans to attend the funeral held on Sunday. Kennedy, who has long been skeptical of vaccines, said in his response that once the first death of measles was reported in February that such an outbreak of the disease was common. Some opponents of vaccines believe that vaccination should be a personal choice, while others say that the growing discourse of vaccines has led to the rise of groups of individuals who did not take vaccines, or that they did not take adequate doses, making them a fertile environment for the spread of infection. Texas Department of Health Services announced the survey of 59 new measles injuries within three days, which brought total injuries to the state to 481 since the end of January. Until Thursday, US centers to combat and prevent disease have announced the record of a weekly increase in measles injuries of 124, which brought the total to 607 cases. The total number in the country reached 285 cases in the entire 2024.
