Texas doctor Ben Edwards, shown with a measles rash while treating children during an outbreak, was praised by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Edwards claims he only treated already infected patients, but experts disagree, citing risk to others. Kennedy's actions are criticized as irresponsible and inconsistent with his role, given Edwards' use of unproven treatments and lack of precautions. The incident highlights concerns over Kennedy's approach to public health and vaccine promotion.
