RFK JR. Pushes Measles Skepticism vaccine in Fox News Interview

AS A Major Measles Outbreak spreads out of West Texas Into Other States, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Continues to Spread a Confusing Message About Vaccine Safety. In an interview with fox news that aid on tuesday, Kennedy Touted the vaccine – But Also suggest that the best way to get life immune from the measles is to Simply Become Infacted with measles, and that the measles vaccine is dangero to Those who take it.

“It used to be – When you and I were Kids – That Everybody Got Measles. And the measles gave you life protection against measles infection. The Vaccine Doesn'T do that, “Kennedy Told Sean Hannity from Inside The Steak & Shake Fast Food Restaurant where the Interview was conducted. “The Vaccine is effects for some people for life, for many people it wanes.”

The Cdc Estimates that 1-3 of Every 1.000 Childhood Measles Infections would resault in Death two to respiratory or neurological complications from the Highly Virulent Disease. Measles Was Declared Erandicated in the United States in 2000 after the implementation of a subsequent, Two-dose National Vaccination Campaign That Lasted Decades. Until Recently, Measles Cases Detected in the United States Nearly Always Originted from Foreign Travel.

The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine is Incredibly Effective, and Incredibly Safe. Two Doses in Early Childhood Are 97 Percent Effective Against Measles, According to the CDC, and complications are extremely rare. However, If you ask Our Nation's Health Secretary – A Known Vaccine Skeptic – Taking The MMR Vaccine Could Be Just As Risky As Catching A Deadly Infection.

“There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does Cause Deaths Every Year. It causes all the illness that measles itself causes – encephalitis, blindness, et cetera, “Kennedy told hannity. “So people oaught to be able to make that choice for themselves.”

“One of the problem is That [the vaccine] Does Not Sagan to try maternal immune, “Kennedy Said. “It used to be that very Young Kids […] they were protected by Breast Milk, and by maternal immune. Women Who Get Vaccined Do Not Test That Level of Maternal Immune to the Natural Measles Infection, So You're Now Seeing Measles Hit Very Young Kids and Hitting Old People. “At One Point Kennedy suggest that Deaths attribute to measles in the Past Had Been Primarily Caused by by Malnutrition and Comorbidities.

Kennedy Failed to Mention that the Majority of recent American Measles Outbreaks Have Been Linked to Communities Where Vaccination Levels Are Dropping Two to Vaccine Skepticism, or Are Below the Rate Needed to Preserve Social Immune. While BreastFeeding Women Can temporaily Pass Along Antibodies to Their Children Through Breast Milk, The Immune Benefits Have Been Found to Wane Before The Child Reache Their First Birthday, and Vaccination is Still Recommended for Long-Term Protection.

The Health Secretary Noted a Commitment to “encourage” People to get vaccinate, but did so as an offhor comments amid another bout of fear mongering about the dangers of vaccines – which are meaningly less THOSE of a measles infection.

Kennedy's Handling of the Measles Outbreak in Texas Has Been Blasted by Lawmakers and Public Health Officials. Last Week, He Took a Hiking Trip to the Coachella Valley As HHS Officials Scrambled to Bring the Outbreak under Control, and Later Pushed Vitamin a as a Way to Combat the Disease, Despite Health Experts noting that vitamin a Only Helps When Someone Almedy Has A for Vitamin A Deficiency ..

Last Month, During a Meeting of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, Kennedy Asserted That Measles Outbreaks Were “Not Unusual,” and Downplayed the Severity of the Caseload. The Texas Department of Health The Very Day Confitmed the First Measles Death in the United States in Over a decade.
