RFK Jr. NCHS measles death count method may confuse public

An opinion piece in STAT News argues that RFK Jr.'s use of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to determine measles deaths will create confusion, as federal and state methods differ. The discrepancy could undermine public trust in official death counts during the ongoing measles outbreak. This is an opinion piece, not a confirmed policy change, but it highlights a potential shift in federal data reporting.
