Will face felony charges for battery on LEO. Photo courtesy of FL AG’s office.
9/ Protect Our Care is not a public-health agency. It is a 501(c)(4) advocacy operation that says it uses a “campaign mentality” to influence policy, shape media narratives and hold politicians accountable.
In Dec. 2025, it expanded “Public Health Watch,” staffing it with veterans of national elections, progressive advocacy, political campaigns, rapid response and “war rooms.”
Its stated methods: track Trump/RFK “in real time,” deploy strategic messaging and storytelling, create a “compelling narrative” and pressure federal health institutions.

8/ Dec. 18, 2025: PA said the workgroup would discuss vaccine information “tailored to different demographics,” “harmful, inaccurate, and misguided” information, and engagement in areas with historically low vaccination rates. https://t.co/1Tt3QiiwjA
Apr. 2, 2026: After its second meeting, PA said the group was “guiding tailored outreach to populations at higher risk for diseases like measles and hepatitis B.”

7/ Now the political architecture.
In Oct. 2025, Shapiro ordered agencies to align vaccine communications, created a central portal and established a workgroup to “promote uptake” and combat “misinformation”—explicitly framed against RFK and Trump.

6/ Genotyping is not a magic truth machine.
CDC says N-450 partial sequencing often cannot separate ongoing domestic spread from repeated importations. Even whole-genome sequencing can rule OUT links—but cannot prove them without epidemiology.

5/ Standard measles RT-qPCR detects viral RNA. CDC says the ordinary assay alone cannot distinguish wild-type infection from vaccine-associated symptoms; that requires strain-specific testing or sequencing.
PA released no assay or sequence data.

4/ A crucial correction:
CDC does not require genotyping to classify a measles case as confirmed. PCR, IgM, seroconversion, virus isolation—or direct epidemiologic linkage—can qualify.
But PA has not disclosed the basis for either death attribution.

3/ The state released the politically potent facts—Lancaster, “unvaccinated,” first in 35 years—but still withholds:
the second person's age, comorbidities, clinical course, immediate/underlying causes, death certificates and exact diagnostic basis.
FROM, WITH—or merely associated?
2/ Start with what PA now admits:
“Measles-associated” does NOT necessarily mean measles was certified as the immediate cause of death.
One case—an infant—is under coroner investigation.
The coroner is not investigating the other.
