Given we expect 10-30 deaths per 10,000 cases of measles, 3 deaths suggest somewhere on the order of 3,000 cases (not 569). We might know the actual case count if we hadn’t gutted public health and had an HHS secretary who actually wanted to end the outbreak.
New measles death in TX - a child. C/w last week:
CURRENT CASE COUNT: 569
Texas: 481 (+59)
New Mexico: 54 (+6)
Oklahoma: 10
Kansas: 24 (+1)
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 58 (+14)
Texas: 56 (+14) have been hospitalized, 11.6%.
New Mexico: 2 (No change). This is 4.5% of NM cases.

Meanwhile Ladapo's partner in anti-vaccination group America's Frontline Doctors, Stella Immanuel, says she's been nominated to join RFK Jr.'s staff.
She's the one who claims alien DNA is being used in medical treatments and that fibroids are caused by demon sperm.

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

So apparently they’re considering having Stuart Fischbein join HHS. For those who don’t know, this man lost his license for inappropriate sexual relations with patients. He also doesn’t believe birthing people should get epidurals bc he thinks it disrupts their connection with the fetus.
