While vaccines are widely regarded as the first line of defense against measles, some experts have also noted the role that nutrition plays in reducing severity of the disease.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. discussed the topic during a recent exclusive interview with Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health and Fox News senior medical analyst. "We see a correlation between people who get hurt by measles and people who don't have good nutrition." "Vaccination should be given whether an individual is malnourished or not."

"We need to understand the relationship between good health and chronic disease," RFK told Siegel.
