Texas measles outbreak doctor, Dr. Ben Edwards, was filmed with a measles rash while treating patients. This video, posted by the anti-vaccine group Children's Health Defense, shows Edwards a week before HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised him. Public health experts criticize Edwards' actions, deeming them reckless. Kennedy's endorsement of Edwards, who promotes unproven treatments, has drawn sharp criticism, raising concerns about his leadership amid the ongoing health crisis. Edwards claims he only interacted with already infected patients, but this is disputed.
