HHS Secretary Kennedy consoles Texas family following child's measles death

April 6 (UPI) -- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy told people gathered at a funeral for a second child in Texas who died from the disease that a vaccine is the "most effective" way to prevent it.

"I came to Gaines County, Texas today to comfort the Hildebrand family after the loss of their 8-year old daughter Daisy," Kennedy posted on the social media platform X. "My intention was to come down here quietly to console the families and to be with the community in their moment of grief."
