Measles outbreak erupts in one of Texas' least vaccinated counties (opens in new tab)

Are you implying the CDC (part of PHS and itself part of HHS) has no authority to track and provide technical resources to combat measles outbreaks within individual states?

Various federal organizations get involved in single-state issues in their purview all the time, including the CDC. A single state outbreak can quickly become a multi-state outbtreak, then a nationwide outbreak. Measles, being one of the most contagious diseases in existence, is no joke, so even a small outbreak can be cause for serious concern. Measles has a r0 between 12 and 18, covid has an r0 between 1.4 and 2.4; when extrapolated exponentially, things get gnarly at an alarming rate.
