In a sweeping interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, outlined a strategy for containing the measles outbreak in West Texas that strayed far from mainstream science, relying heavily on fringe theories about prevention and treatments.
He 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.
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.
This again is literally what he said in the aftermath of Samoa, victim blaming. “Those ~6000 people that got the measles and 83 people who died were at fault because they were malnourished, not because I mislead them with fearmongering and faulty statistics”. Never mind that once the island widely adopted vaccination in the aftermath of my nonsense measles once again disappeared
The man is a murderer with a confirmed body count and instead of accountability he continues to gain notoriety
I’m still waiting for that natural immunity to ebola to kick in. Am I malnourished?
At this point I don’t think Trump really cares for RFK Jrs viewpoints, but he admires the hell out of his complete disconnect with reality.
He’s well-positioned to kill even more people than ever before. Who knows, he might kill even more than little d did in his first term…
