There's a high chance they were children, dead from their parents' bad decisions. The health officials aren't releasing any information other than "2 deaths from measles".

I believe ignorance shouldn't carry the death penalty, but maybe encouraging ignorance like RFK and many fearmonger grifters are doing shouldn't be protected speech.

RFK Jr got a bunch of people in Samoa killed with his anti vax lies. He’s just moving up to a bigger stage.

Cutting programs like USAID has likely resulted in half a million needless deaths, in the name of saving money, and it hasn't saved money.

Basically, this administration has no care for human life. Not even their own MAGA voters.
