    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocated for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine during a visit to West Texas on Sunday to comfort two families whose children died of the disease.

    Driving the news: Both children in Gaines County were not vaccinated when they died of measles, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

    Maybe they were too young yet? Somehow I doubt it.
