Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is increasingly concerned about a growing measles epidemic across the US, with a record-high 884 confirmed cases reported in 29 states. The CDC data published last week shows that natural immunity may be more effective against the disease than previously thought.
In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Kennedy stated that he believes getting measles can provide lifetime protection against future infections. However, this stance contradicts scientific research, which shows that the MMR vaccine is much safer and more effective in preventing measles cases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data reveals that only 2% of infected individuals in 2025 received the recommended dose of the MMR vaccine. Measles outbreaks have been reported in several states, including Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, and Texas, with the latter seeing a staggering 646 cases since late January.
Sadly, three confirmed deaths from measles have occurred, including two children. If vaccination rates remain steady, measles could become entrenched, resulting in hundreds of thousands of cases where deaths are commonplace. With only a small percentage of infected individuals receiving the recommended vaccine dose, concerns about the effectiveness of vaccination policies continue to grow.
