The deadly measles outbreak in Texas is affecting many children, with nearly one-in-three patients being under the age of four. Doctors say those who survive may be facing a lifetime of health problems.
Dr. Sapna Singh, who is the Chief Medical officer at Texas Children’s Hospital, says her worst fear is a rare brain disorder that develops years after a measles infection. She agrees with President Trump’s Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who writes in an op-ed that vaccines can protect kids and contribute to herd immunity.
