And then there’s good ol’ Bob.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was slammed Wednesday for downplaying a measles outbreak that has led to the country’s first child death from the disease in decades.

Donald Trump’s health secretary waved off the active Texas outbreak—where pediatricians on the ground have reported children being accepted into care unable to properly breathe—as a normal thing that happens every year.

Scores of physicians have rung alarm bells that the latest outbreak, impacting over 100 people in West Texas and neighboring New Mexico, is a “crisis” that is far from normal—especially for a disease that was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000.

The Texas Department of State Health Services said Wednesday the child who died from measles was “school-aged” and unvaccinated. They were hospitalized last week and had died by Wednesday morning.

But that’s normal. No biggy. I’m sure the kid’s parents are just getting on with their day.

The death is the first since 2015, when measles was blamed as the cause of death for an immunocompromised Washington woman who physicians did not know had the disease until after her death. Before that case, the country had gone 12 years since it had last recorded a measles death of any kind.

Kennedy told reporters there have now been two deaths this year from the disease, which is largely preventable with a widely-available vaccine, but he did not elaborate on the second case.

Kennedy of course didn’t say the “largely preventable” part. That should be in parentheses rather than between commas. Kennedy doesn’t want to admit that measles is largely preventable.

There were 18 people hospitalized as of Wednesday morning, Texas health officials said. Those in Lubbock, which is ground zero for the outbreak, say that number is steadily growing.

Dr. Lara Johnson, the chief medical officer of a children’s hospital in the city, told NBC News her team has cared for “around 20” kids with measles. [All] of those patients were admitted because they were struggling to breathe. None had been vaccinated.

None. had. been. vaccinated.

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a former physician who was slammed by his medical colleagues earlier this month for voting to confirm Kennedy, told parents Wednesday to protect their children from measles by getting the “safe and effective” vaccine.

After voting for Kennedy. Rethink your life, Senator.
