“'What is the cure for measles?' [RFKJr.] told an audience in 2021 at an Amish country fair in Pennsylvania. 'Chicken soup and vitamin A.'"

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, after all. Look on the sunny side of life.

And none of these hazards compare with the gruesome damage any vaccination does.

People in the pre-modern world practicing "primitive" medicine had better instincts about all of this than we science-addled folks today have, right?

Besides, getting measles isn't the worst thing that can happen to a child. Only 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of measles. And those who die must not have been meant to live; they lacked natural strength and were not fed and exercised properly.

For children who survive measles, the worst that can happen is that they go blind — but at least, they'll have their lives, even if they can no longer see.

"*On March 9, a case was confirmed in the Maryland/metro D.C. area.

Measles is more contagious than many of the diseases we take far more seriously in the media and halls of Congress.

Measles infection can result in severe and sometimes permanent complications including pneumonia, lung damage, brain damage, and death."

"Kennedy is a quack, and a dangerous one. These ideas are only the tip of the iceberg. Regardless of what he says for public consumption, he is an anti-vaxxer. So are his 'experts.' They ignore the reality that any vaccine can only be effective with mass administration. Voluntary vaccination won’t cut it. He knows that.

This perversion of science will cost many thousands of lives, perhaps more."

"He cheered on questionable treatments like cod liver oil, and said that local doctors had achieved 'almost miraculous and instantaneous' recoveries with steroids or antibiotics."

Note that shifting blame for contracting measles to lack of good diet and exercise blames victims in a particularly nasty way that makes invidious insinuations about social class and income. RFKJr. and his kind are models of good health?

"[RFKJr] issued a muffled call for vaccinations in the affected community, but said the choice was a personal one. He suggested that measles vaccine injuries were more common than known, contrary to extensive research. He asserted that natural immunity to measles, gained through infection, somehow also protected against cancer and heart disease, a claim not supported by research."

#RFKJr, the new secretary of NIH’s parent agency, the #HHS, has disparaged #vaccines for years. Last week, the #CDC, another part of HHS, was asked by the #Trump admin to launch a study into a possible connection between #vaccines & autism, despite repeated research that shows no link between the two.
