GoKawiilCDC internal database still logs two measles deaths RFK Jr. had removed from public site
Reuters and Inside Medicine report that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. directed CDC director Erica Schwartz to delete two measles deaths—a newborn and a child in Pennsylvania—from the agency's public data, which she did without objection despite staff having already confirmed the deaths were measles-related. Even so, an internal CDC system called One CDC Data Platform, accessible to health officials nationwide, still records both deaths.
