Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday said the nation's major measles outbreak is "not unusual," as a child who was not vaccinated died from the virus in West Texas. It was the first death from measles in the United States since 2015. The school-aged child had been hospitalized and died Tuesday night amid the widespread outbreak, which is Texas’ largest in nearly 30 years. Since it began last month, a rash of 124 cases has erupted across nine counties. The Texas Department of State Health Services and Lubbock health officials confirmed the death to The Associated Press. The child wasn’t identified but was treated at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, though the facility noted the patient didn’t live in Lubbock County.
