Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the nation is likely to lose its status as a country where the disease is eliminated, something that infectious disease specialists say is directly related to Trump’s appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
South Carolina this week quarantined at least 254 people after confirming more than two dozen measles cases in the state. It’s the latest in what has been the worst year for measles in the U.S. in recent history.
An outbreak in West Texas this year saw more than 700 confirmed cases since January and the deaths of two children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have been 47 reported outbreaks in the country this year.
So you’re telling me, as it’s spreading across the US, as it has been doing for months now, that it’s currently still considered eliminated? Cool. Just like how visiting the CDC’s covid page shows it hasn’t been updated since late Sept. Everything is cool.
RFK stands for Rubella For Kids!
1 person potentially dies if a vaccine with suspect evidence and we hear nonstop about how dangerous vaccines are. Children start dying of measles and it’s a risk they’re willing to take.
Isn’t dead children like the #1 totally acceptable sacrifice in the US at this point?
Sandy Hook made that ABUDANTLY clear
Maybe you could just eat or smear some ivermectin on it. Or pray that it goes away.
Or do some pullups at the airport. The health effect is maximized if you wear jeans and no shirt.

If only we had some injection to prevent this.
Maybe we could weaken the virus or kill it, so it just floats around until the body attacks it…
Then the body could learn how to defend against it? Are we on to something here? Maybe we call it…a MAGAination?
Pro death party strikes again
They really are.
Why did Kamala and Biden do this to us? They left us a horrible medical situation and we are just trying to dig out from under it…
-cheeto mcpedo, probably
Republicans now aew acknowledging this and blaming immigrants
As much as there is to say about Kennedy, vaccine conspiracies started decades before his tenure, and there are many villains to that story.
I think it’s counterproductive to pin it on him.
