Deadly measles outbreak grows in West Texas

A measles outbreak in a rural area of West Texas, has now grown to nearly 150 cases, the state's largest outbreak in nearly 30 years. This, just days after an unvaccinated child in Lubbock died of the disease, the first measles death in the U.S. since 2015. As the outbreak expands, Micah Ohlman and Courtney Friel are joined by Dr. Anne Rimoin, Professor of Epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health to separate fact from fiction.
