The director-general of health in Samoa has labelled US politician RFK Jr's comments on a deadly measles outbreak as 'a complete lie'. With concerns over his potential appointment as health secretary, the health chief warns it would be a disaster for global public health, posing significant risks to vaccination efforts and disease prevention strategies, including measles vaccination programs and outbreak control measures. This could undermine trust in public health initiatives and have severe consequences. The health community is closely watching the situation, stressing the importance of evidence-based health policies.
