I'm waiting for him to propose wastewater surveillance instead of measles vaccination.

markehlers.bsky.social•57 days ago

So, it’s official. The CDC is now a political tool of the Right and no longer an objective, science and evidence-based organization. First the lawyers caved, then the universities, and now the medical professionals. We’re doomed.

FFS of course, because he said Vitamin A helps, but all it does is help with Vitamin A deficiency that can come with measles... If you don't have a Vitamin A deficiency then you're just overdosing on it. What a shit show.

RFK, Jr. is despised by most of his family members bc they know he is a brain damaged idiot, who is grifting for money in scams, likely as a result of his MISINFIRMATION efforts about vaccines! HE IS MAKING money in nefarious ways!!!

RFK Jr: you bring the children into the world, and will give you advice to help you let them get sick and die.

The Republicans in the Senate voted for this, and more children will die because they did.

So they basically said that COVID doesn't exist, and if COVID doesn't exist, no need to worry, and now they are doing the same thing with measles? I think GOP should change their animal from an elephant to an ostrich, with its head in the sand 😁

I’m old. Old enough to remember being raised in a conservative household where getting vaccinated was considered a civic duty. United we stand, divided we fall.

kimberleyfox.bsky.social•57 days ago

There is no reason for any sensible parent to let this skeevy former junkie put their children in danger.

Measles can permanently incapacitate people decades after infection. That is nothing to play around with. Vaccinations are lifesavers.

solosojourner.bsky.social•57 days ago

Do not refer to RFK Jr. solely as 'HHS Secretary.' He is both an 'environmental lawyer' and 'HHS Secretary,' and should consistently be recognized as such. After decades of leadership by doctors and scientists at HHS, it is crucial to remember that he lacks qualifications to offer medical advice.

Theory he is using is that for diseases that rarely kill, natural immunity is better because vaccines kill more in the long run. It's impossible to prove him wrong since he'll point that we only guess how many would've died without vaccination and we don't know who died by vaccines.

alicewanders.bsky.social•55 days ago

Except that we had centuries of experience of measles in an unvaccinated world.

wpete.bsky.social•55 days ago

That only works for those of use that aren't skeptics, they are in the driver seat. If health insurers stop covering, we're hosed. Someone needs to put it in $$$ such as lost work, education, added medical. What does getting measles cost, first order and second order?

alicewanders.bsky.social•55 days ago

I just googled economic impacts of measles and there are many scholarly studies.
Maybe we can all mail these to our local papers or something.
I’ll be reading for hours…
