Texas faces a health crisis as Bob Kennedy's **federal funding cuts** result in the cancellation of over **50 vaccination clinics** in Dallas County. With a rising measles outbreak, $11.4 billion cuts threaten public health efforts, halting free vaccines for families in need. Dr. Philip Huang warns of the dire consequences of this lack of funding on vulnerable communities. For more details, read the full article.

50 canceled vaccination clinics
After the termination of three CDC grants to Dallas on March 24, 11 full-time and 10 part-time staffers who worked in the epidemiology group to respond to outbreaks, including measles, lost their jobs.

The loss of those staffers forced the city to cancel the large number of vaccination clinics.

STAT · 50 canceled measles clinics, and other local impact from HHS cuts"Mass layoffs is not how you make America healthier," city and county health officials say in reaction to large-scale dismissals of federal health workers.

It's time for a #Measles dashboard update:

public.tableau.com/app/profile

The landing page now has a histogram AND a national map, capturing statewide totals. This is especially valuable since some states aren't including county data, or are including divisions like regions, which can't be captured on the cases-by-county map.

This project was constructed from local and state data first: I don't pull from CDC's national totals, but I do check my data against them frequently. Wherever local and state data aren't available, I use news articles. Every entry includes a source link in the cases-by-county table.

After bungling #Covid so bad in his final year (405K dead in 11 months), any RATIONAL human being… given a second chance to redeem themselves… would throw the kitchen sink at stopping #BirdFlu or #Measles from becoming the next deadly #pandemic.

INSTEAD, this #BatCrapCrazy #narcissist seems to have a PERSONAL GRUDGE against the agencies that tried to tell him he was screwing up, and now actively seeking to shut them down, ENSURING TENS OF THOUSANDS (MILLIONS?) MORE UNNECESSARY DEATHS.

From the article: "More US states are reporting measles cases as the Texas outbreak expands, surpassing last year’s total, amid vaccine misinformation and hesitancy.

"The Texas outbreak could take a year to get under control, one health official said – during which time it may spread to more states. Yet the parents of the six-year-old girl who died of measles in Texas have spoken against measles vaccination as misinformation continues to proliferate, including from figures such as the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr.

“I never thought in 2025, we would be looking at this resurgence of measles,” said Katherine Wells, director of Lubbock Public Health. “And I didn’t know it’d be in my backyard, either.”
