JFK’s Grandson Rips RFK Jr. Over ‘Deadly’ Vaccine Guidance

John F. Kennedy’s only grandson has made it clear that the resurgence of measles, one of the world’s most contagious diseases, is a family matter.

Jack Schlossberg, 33, slammed his first cousin once removed, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for “this deadly outbreak” of measles that has the United States poised to lose its status as having officially eliminated the disease.

South Carolina is currently in the midst of the largest measles outbreak in the country, with 789 cases and counting—the largest since measles was declared eliminated in 2000, according to federal data. Childhood vaccination rates have steadily declined to as low as 82.5 percent in some areas in the Republican-controlled state.
