Several reports noted that CDC Director Erica Schwartz ordered the exclusion. The dispute was frequently linked to a public spat between RFK Jr. and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, with some outlets describing RFK Jr.'s remarks as 'fabricated' or 'anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist' rhetoric. Reports mentioned the CDC's latest measles case count of 2,903 and Pennsylvania's 70 hospitalizations and hundreds of infections in Lancaster County."],"centre":["All twelve centre outlets in the sample reported that the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention excluded two measles‑related deaths from Pennsylvania from its weekly tally. CTV News led on the exclusion, noting it was ordered by the new CDC director Erica Schwartz. Hastings Tribune, Political Wire, Medical Daily and the remaining outlets also led on this fact.","CTV News’s full report added that Pennsylvania health officials said they had completed a thorough investigation and provided all required epidemiological data to the CDC. It quoted HHS press secretary Grace Davis Jamison on the need for accurate reporting, and CDC experts Dr Nirav Shah and Dr Deb Houry on the unusual nature of the decision and its departure from standard protocol.","The digests did not contain any of the quoted statements from Pennsylvania officials, HHS, or CDC experts that appear in CTV News’s report. They also omitted the CDC footnote explaining that the deaths were excluded pending further information and the detailed description of the agency’s usual practice of accepting state‑reported data. No digest mentioned the broader political clash beyond a brief reference."],"right":["Right-rated reports focused on the CDC's exclusion of the Pennsylvania measles deaths from its weekly update, with some framing it as an omission pending investigation. One report mentioned that Pennsylvania authorities reported two deaths from measles, and that both patients were unvaccinated. This report also stated that measles was reportedly ravaging Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where 70 people had been hospitalised and hundreds infected, and noted the CDC's reported 2,777 cases nationwide at the time. Another report discussed Governor Josh Shapiro's claims about vaccination rates falling under President Trump, contrasting them with data from his own
