CDC confirms second US measles death, Pennsylvania cases excluded
Original: CDC reports second measles death in US while excluding Pennsylvania deaths
The CDC has reported a second measles death in the United States, while excluding deaths recorded in Pennsylvania from its official measles count. The discrepancy has raised questions about how the agency tallies fatalities during the ongoing outbreak. Health officials and commentators are debating the accuracy and transparency of national measles surveillance as cases continue to spread.
Why now: A second US measles death and questions over CDC death-counting methods are drawing attention amid an ongoing outbreak.
