这一差异出现在美国卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪领导下的疾控中心，从采用州卫生部门的数据转为采用国家卫生统计中心的死亡率数据来追踪麻疹死亡之后。美国卫生与公众服务部未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
The discrepancy arose after the CDC, under US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., switched from state health departments' figures to the National Center for Health Statistics' mortality data to track measles deaths. The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
