Claimant: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Claim: The U.S. is doing “better than any country in the world” at controlling measles outbreaks.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Dozens of countries have reported fewer measles cases per capita than the United States. FactCheck.org found no evidence that the U.S. has the world’s best measles response, and experts noted that several U.S. outbreaks have lasted for months rather than ending unusually quickly.
