"What the head of HHS said to the nation about a measles outbreak was not true," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on RFK Jr. downplaying the deadly measles outbreak in Texas.

I posted during the live trump show that Democrats need to have a rebuttal conference with all the news outlets right after trump to debunk his claims and explain what the consequences of his (and other officials) lies would cause. It should be done by those with expert knowledge in those areas, not
by any one or two leaders. It should be centered around actual real world examples to make it relatable to the masses. You can’t just make a statement, you need to put it context that everyone knows in their day to day lives.
Ted Cruz and measles. Not exactly making Texans look like the cream of the crop. Thank you for coming to Houston earlier this week. It was a highlight in a very rough beginning of a year.
Thank you Chris.
After reading the NYT, WAPO, and CNN just this morning here in Europe, it’s obvious why most people are oblivious to the existential crisis our nation is facing since our media is increasingly unable or unwilling to blast the unvarnished truth. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/26/trump-cabinet-elon-musk
Could you please say "was a lie." rather than "was not true"? We failed to effectively challenge lies which were told leading up to the election by using this simple phrase. "That was a lie."
They should be having medical professionals on these networks promoting vaccines and educating the public about the severity of measles, since the head of HHS is unfit and doesn’t care. All complicit in this disaster
Why is measles deadly all of a sudden?
It used to be a childhood disease that everyone got as little kids and built an immunity to, along with mumps, chickenpox and rubella.
Now everything is deadly. Why is that?
Yes, we all caught the measles and about 3/1000 died.
According to WHO, "An estimated 107 500 people died from measles in 2023 – mostly children under the age of five years, despite the availability of a safe and cost-effective vaccine."
Never mind. I looked it up. None in the US. All the other deaths were in 3rd-world countries lacking hygiene, etc. That's where the WHO ought to be concentrating their vaccination efforts and get that under control...and that's why the US now has a death, because the 3rd-world has been coming here.
I should have said "bad question" These diseases are basically preventable by vaccinating. There are no acceptable # of deaths and serious complications such as deafness, fetal death in pregnancy. It's like saying I survived childhood riding in a car when there were no car seats.
All these unqualified useless idiot liars purposefully put in place to distract & destroy us! What the fuck! Time to gather in numbers so large they can’t stop us from being heard!
It's terrible. I think not vaccinating your children is child abuse. (Unless they can't be for medical reasons). And those that get sick can potentially kill young babies and the immunocompromised.

In this case, though, I'm fairly certain Robby is incapable of the truth.
Child deaths from measles are preventable.
