Politico: RFK Jr. 'Exploiting' Shapiro's Lack of Measles Deaths Transparency
Newsbusters ^ | August 29, 2026 | P.J. Gladnick

"Challenging." "Criticizing." "Questioning."

All the above words would have accurately categorized the attitude of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. towards the lack of transparency by Governor Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) following his claim that lack of vaccinations caused the death from measles of two residents of his state.

Instead, Politico chose once again to put its biases on display with its choice of describing Kennedy's reaction as "exploiting," as you can see in Thursday's story by health reporter Carmen Paun in "Shapiro won’t say who died of measles. RFK Jr. is exploiting it."

The pathetic attempt to POLITICIZE measles vaccines boomeranged horribly on a certain presidential wannabee who has now become a wontbee.

Shapiro has sinister reasons for ginning up fear about measels...and it has nothing to do with the ‘28 Presidential race:

Yep - the sign was how they described the dead - “Americans/Residents” and provided zero demographics. Age would have been very helpful because in the mid 60s, they started making the MMR jabs mandatory in some areas and officialized it for the Nation by 1977. So, as someone on Gab pointed out, unless they were older than mid 50s - 60s, they were definitely vaxed. Pure political pap by a Dem ‘papist’.

When I was growing up there was no Measles vaccine. Got measles, like many of my generation, on the playground. I suspect that most of us boomers never were vaccinated.

No one died of measles. A spleen rupture instead.

All together now-Aaawwww Pollutionco is upset someone criticized a Democrat for their lies. What a bunch of bull. Folks shun all leftwing medias and think for yourself you’ll be smarter for it. Don’t let them do your thinking for you they will lead you to more hate and over a cliff.
