Pennsylvania commissioner accuses Shapiro of ‘deceptive’ measles death framing as RFK Jr. blasts Dem governor –Lancaster County coroner says no measles deaths were reported, raising questions about two fatalities announced by Shapiro | 29 Aug 2026 | A Pennsylvania county commissioner is challenging Gov. Josh Shapiro’s announcement of two measles-associated deaths, fueling a growing clash with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr…  Joshua Parsons, one of three Lancaster County commissioners, accused Shapiro of being intentionally “deceptive” during a news conference earlier this week, when the Democratic governor pointed to two “measles-related deaths” in the county. “Well, the governor, in the press conference, they said they were measles-associated deaths, but it was framed, and very much the underlying assertion to it, was that these were measles deaths,” Parsons told Fox News Digital. However, according to conversations he had with the Lancaster County Coroner, Parsons claimed nobody in the county has died from measles this year. “The coroner reported that they don’t have…they had zero measles deaths or measles-associated deaths reported. And in Pennsylvania, if you have someone who dies of a contagious disease, that does have to be reported to the county coroner,” Parsons told Fox News Digital.
