Kennedy responded on X, calling Shapiro's suppression claim false and saying the CDC applies consistent national standards. He accused Shapiro of politicizing the outbreak and refusing federal assistance, and said he had offered CDC Epi-Aid epidemiologists to help with state response, which other states including Texas, South Carolina, and Virginia have already requested and used successfully.
“Governor Shapiro's claim that I directed CDC to suppress Pennsylvania deaths is false. CDC is applying a consistent national standard rather than allowing politicians to decide which deaths appear in federal mortality statistics.”
