Pennsylvania reports its sixth measles death this year. RFK Jr’s CDC still says it’s two
More than 4,000 measles cases have been confirmed nationwide this year
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Pennsylvania’s sixth measles death and use nearly the same framing in the headline. The Independent adds the contrast with RFK Jr.’s CDC count, saying it still reports two, while The Hill’s extract focuses instead on the state’s overall caseload and the coroner’s advisory.
