What happened

WASHINGTON, Sept 17 - The Pennsylvania health department said it was requesting emergency support from the US CDC as it grapples with one of the country's largest and most deadly measles outbreaks, according to a document reviewed by Reuters on Thursday.
Kennedy has cast doubt on whether deaths reported in U.S. measles outbreaks since he took office were due to the virus or another cause, and instructed the CDC not to include the Pennsylvania fatalities in a national tally.
"The CDC’s choice not to publicly recognize the deaths undermines our response," Bogen wrote.
