Precision above all.
What happened in Pennsylvania with measles is truly a case study for the challenges that public health faces.
It is literally a microcosm of the biggest public health communication obstacles in America.

So much confusion on measles messaging in Pennsylvania.
Here's why what happened in PA is a case-study of the challenges for public and a microcosm for public health communication in America.

RFK Jr refers to measles deaths as "so-called 'measles deaths' in Lancaster County. I talked with the country coroner or the county commissioner this morning and he says there were no measles deaths. There was a press conference by the governor that was highly politicized, and we saw a lot of the covid playbook rolled out."
