@MeanwhileinCanada Where are #PP and his anti-vaxers? Are they out busy touting cod liver oil, vitamin C and healthy eating like #RFKJr? #CdnMedia where are our #FreedomConvoy anti-vaccine mandates warriors? No news?

Is #RFKJr abandoning one of the few issues he was actually right about? https://newrepublic.com/article/192730/rfk-jr-microplastics-crop-loss-antibiotics-brains?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tnr_daily

The New Republic · RFK Jr Is Running Away From the One Thing He’s Ever Been Right AboutMicroplastics really are a public health emergency. But instead of talking about his signature issue, he’s babbling about irrelevant moral panics and being dangerously vague about a measles outbreak.
Hi #RFKJr
“At least 308 US #measles cases so far this year, marking the most infections reported nationwide in a single year since a record 2019 wave.
More than 90% of the cases have been from a growing outbreak in TX and neighboring NM – totaling at least 284 measles infections in the CDC data.
2 additional "probable" cases linked to the outbreak in OK have so far not been added to the CDC tally”

But he would have made such an excellent and selfless public servant.

“It is a shock, but, you know, in some ways, it’s relief,” Dr. Weldon said. “Government jobs demand a lot of you, and if God doesn’t want me in it, I’m fine with that.”
“I’m going to get on an airplane at 11 o’clock and I’m going to go home and I’m going to see patients on Monday,” Dr. Weldon said. “I’ll make much more money staying in my medical practice.”

The New York Times · White House Withdraws Nominee for C.D.C. Director
At the #StandUpforScience rallies, many protesters brought along cheeky signs targeting President Trump, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE.
Here are some of the best signs our reporters saw in Atlanta, New York, and Seattle:

"...the NIH's acting director Dr. Matthew Memoli also requested information last week about the funding that supports mRNA vaccine research, technology that underpins the COVID-19 shots from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, according to an email reviewed by NPR. A similar call for data preceded the termination of the other vaccine grants."

“'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.

I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK WE NEED VACCINES
Wearing asafoedita in a bag around the neck keeps measles at bay. It's a sure preventative.
If you think you need extra protection, sip some water from a holy well while walking widdershins around it and reciting the Lord's prayer backwards.

Crooks and Liars · RFK Jr. Pushes His Quackery Over Measles Vaccinations
If people who knowingly spread misinformation that directly led to people's deaths could be charged with 2nd-degree murder (and I don't see why they can't!) - I wonder how much that would help stop a lot of this crap.

RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’
“It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” he said, then taking a swipe at the vaccine. “The vaccine doesn’t do that. The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but for many people it wanes.” 🤦♂️

The ##RFKJr #antivax agenda takes hold at NIH. Sure, why would we want to know why people shun #vaccines in the middle of a #Measles outbreak? https://www.npr.org/2025/03/12/nx-s1-5325863/nih-trump-vaccine-hesitancy-mrna-research
