The U.S. surpassed 2,000 measles cases this year for the first time since 1992 under the public health stewardship of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The ugly milestone comes a little more than a year after CNN’s Jake Tapper predicted the country would experience a surge in cases if Kennedy were to become the nation’s leading public health official.

The Centers for Disease Control reported that as of Dec. 23, the U.S. had 2,012 confirmed measles cases. Last year, the U.S. had just 285 confirmed cases.

Kennedy is a longtime anti-vaccine activist who in February claimed that a measles outbreak in West Texas was “not unusual.” The HHS secretary alleged that the disease, whose symptoms may include fever, coughing, and a blotchy rash, could be treated with Vitamin A, which, according to actual doctors, is not a substitute for being vaccinated against the measles
