Of course! The czar is actively trying to have measles kill kids, so that's where the early money is.

Well, always the potential for risk with any medical procedure or medication, including vaccine.
So, get titers first to determine need for the risk of vaccine

Religious exemptions to medical procedures are incredibly wild. Like I'm not allowed to beat the crap out of my child, regardless of what my religion states. But I can actively prevent medical doctors from saving my childs life with medicine because of ReLiGiOn.
You literally can argue that you can hurt your own children because if they die they'll be in a better place anyway - and some wingnut judges will agree with that argument.

Measles exploded in Texas after stagnant vaccine funding. New cuts threaten the same across the US
https://apnews.com/article/measles-texas-vaccines-funding-cuts-5785985d6b74024b0502f6a2fc1576e2?
The measles outbreak in West Texas didn't happen just by chance.
The easily preventable disease, declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, ripped through communities sprawling across more than 20 Texas counties in part because health departments were starved of the funding needed to run vaccine programs, officials say.
"We haven't had a strong immunization program that can really do a lot of boots-on-the-ground work for years," said Katherine Wells, the health director in Lubbock, a 90-minute drive from the outbreak's epicenter.
Immunization programs nationwide have been left brittle by years of stagnant funding by federal, state and local governments. In Texas and elsewhere, this helped set the stage for the measles outbreak and fueled its spread. Now cuts to federal funding threaten efforts to prevent more cases and outbreaks.

Measles shouldn't have all the fun. Whooping cough is also making a nice comeback!
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/whooping-cough-surges-vaccines-decline-us-rcna201853
So far this year, there have been 8,064 reported cases of whooping cough in the U.S., compared with 3,835 for the same time in 2024, according to the CDC. And there were more than four times as many whooping cough cases in the U.S. in 2024 compared with 2023.
According to the medical journal BMJ, if the current trend continues, the U.S. may be on course for the highest number of infections since vaccination was introduced in 1948.

With the United States facing its largest single measles outbreak in 25 years, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for the disease, including vitamins, according to an H.H.S. spokesman. The decision is the latest in a series of actions by the nation's top health official that experts fear will undermine public confidence in vaccines as an essential public health tool.

The U.S. is having its worst year for measles spread in more than three decades, with a total of 1,288 cases nationally and another six months to go in 2025.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that the national case count surpassed 2019, when there were 1,274 cases for the year and the country almost lost its status of having eliminated the vaccine-preventable illness. That could happen this year if the virus has nonstop spread for 12 months.
