As Measles Exploded, Officials in Texas Looked to CDC Scientists. Under Trump, No One Answered.
The worst U.S. measles outbreak in more than 30 years began in West Texas, but the real story is how it spread unchecked while the nation’s top health agency was sidelined.

Local officials were left scrambling without federal guidance, while misinformation filled the void. The result: thousands infected, children dead, and public trust badly shaken. Amy Maxmen with KFF Health News has the full story.
