肯塔基州州长 Beshear 致信特朗普总统要求撤换卫生部长 Kennedy 称其散布疫苗不实信息、本州麻疹已211例
肯塔基州州长 Andy Beshear 于2026年11月12日在州府 Frankfort 的「团队肯塔基」例行更新中宣布，他已致信特朗普总统，要求立即撤换联邦卫生与公众服务部部长 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.，指其持续散布关于疫苗的不实信息，危害公众健康。
Beshear 在信中与发布会上表示，肯塔基州今年麻疹确诊病例已达211例，州公共卫生部门正持续追踪疫情。他说，在麻疹等疫苗可预防疾病回升的当口，联邦卫生部门负责人对外传递贬低疫苗的说法，会直接削弱各州的防控工作，州政府不能坐视。
麻疹曾在美国被宣布消除，但近年多地出现聚集性疫情，接种率下降被公共卫生专家列为主要原因之一。肯塔基州公共卫生部门今年多次发布麻疹暴露提示，并呼吁未接种的居民尽快接种麻疹、腮腺炎与风疹三联疫苗。
这次致信是 Beshear 例行更新的一部分。同批公布事项还包括：认定11月16日至20日为家庭与社区教育参与周、11月为肺癌意识月、11月14日为肺癌筛查日，以及医疗大麻、河港与铁路资金、社区发展补助、州食品募捐与处方药回收日等安排。
Beshear 的任期将于明年结束。州长办公室统计，其任内全州累计宣布近1,400个私营部门项目、逾550亿美元投资与7.2万多个岗位。白宫与卫生与公众服务部尚未就这封信公开回应。
Kentucky Governor Beshear Asks President Trump to Replace Health Secretary Kennedy, Citing Vaccine Misinformation and 211 Measles Cases
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced at his Team Kentucky update in Frankfort on November 12, 2026, that he has written to President Donald Trump asking him to immediately replace Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing Kennedy of spreading false information about vaccines.
Beshear said Kentucky has recorded 211 confirmed measles cases this year, tracked by the state public health department. With measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases resurging, he argued, disparaging remarks about vaccines from the nation's top health official directly undermine states' prevention work.
Measles was declared eliminated in the United States, but clustered outbreaks have returned in recent years, with falling vaccination rates cited by public health experts as a leading cause. Kentucky's health department has issued repeated measles exposure notices this year and urged unvaccinated residents to get the MMR vaccine.
The letter was one item in Beshear's regular Team Kentucky update. The same briefing proclaimed November 16-20 as Family and Community Engagement in Education Week, November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month and November 14 as Lung Cancer Screening Day, and covered medical cannabis, riverport and rail funding, community development grants, the Team Kentucky Food Drive and a prescription drug take-back day.
Beshear's term ends next year. His office counts nearly 1,400 private-sector projects, more than $55 billion in investment and over 72,000 jobs announced statewide during his tenure. Neither the White House nor HHS had publicly responded to the letter.
