Launch a congressional investigation into RFK Jr.'s alleged directive to CDC Director Erica Schwartz to exclude the two Lancaster County measles deaths from the national tally. These are the first measles deaths in Pennsylvania in 35 years. Hiding them from official counts isn't a policy disagreement — it's a deliberate manipulation of public health data that puts lives at risk.
CDC sources are reporting that RFK Jr. told Director Schwartz to follow his orders or face termination. That is political interference in federal public health reporting, plain and simple. Congress has both the authority and the obligation to subpoena records, call witnesses, and hold accountable anyone who ordered this cover-up. The integrity of disease surveillance depends on accurate data — when that data gets buried, communities can't protect themselves.
