It is one of those days.

We are watching so many different stories, and there's so much to report on tonight.

On the day that they swore in a new U.S. Health Secretary, who has spent his whole adult life railing against vaccines,

we now have word of a new outbreak of measles in the United States in Texas, at least 22 children infected and two adults.

Measles, of course, is an illness that can be prevented if you are vaccinated against it.

But the Texas Department of State Health Services says none of the 24 people infected in Texas have been vaccinated.

We did, though, today get the swearing in of new health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has said that, you know, as he was getting ready to take the helm of America's health

system, he said publicly that we should take an eight-year-long

break as a nation from any work at all on infectious diseases. Right. So there's that. I should tell

you, tomorrow, we're expecting a fairly large-scale protest starting at 8 a.m. Eastern at the

headquarters of the Health and Human Services

Department in Washington as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. starts his first full day on the job. So keep

an eye on that in tomorrow's headlines. Today, there were disruptive protests at the
