"Florida Surgeon General Under Fire for Handling of Measles Outbreak"

Public health experts express concern over Florida's response to a measles outbreak, criticizing the state's surgeon general for not advocating for best public health practices. With at least nine cases in Broward County and one in Polk County, experts warn that flouting science-based guidance could put more people at risk of the highly infectious disease.
