Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday said the nation's major measles outbreak is "not unusual," as a child who was not vaccinated died from the virus in West Texas.

We have measles outbreaks every year," Trump's health secretary said when asked about the death, which is the nation's first in a decade.

The death of the unvaccinated school-aged child marks the first fatality from measles in the United States in 10 years.
