CDC withholds state data as US measles deaths rise to three

The CDC added a third measles death to its dashboard but declined to identify the state, citing privacy laws, a departure from standard practice that experts dispute. The agency is also delaying reporting of other measles deaths, reducing public-health transparency during an active outbreak. This opacity hampers outbreak tracking and public awareness, though the underlying mortality count is confirmed.
