The U.S. surpassed 2,000 measles cases this year for the first time since 1992 under the public health stewardship of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
CNN’s Jake Tapper had predicted this surge if Kennedy were to become the nation’s leading public health official.
The Centers for Disease Control reported that as of Dec. 23, the U.S. had 2,012 confirmed measles cases. Last year, the U.S. had just 285 confirmed cases.
Kennedy is a longtime anti-vaccine moron who claimed that a measles outbreak in West Texas was “not unusual.” The HHS secretary alleged that the disease, whose symptoms may include fever, coughing, and a blotchy rash, could be treated with Vitamin A, which, according to real doctors, is not a substitute for being vaccinated against the measles.
Shortly after the outbreak in West Texas, several children with measles needed to be treated for Vitamin A toxicity. The country has been turned by the shaman moron into a backward cesspool of unscientific beliefs, conspiracies and superstitions.
Kennedy was appointed in November 2024 by Trump as Secretary of HHS. The pick horrified virtually every public health official, and many informed educated people across the country. Only imbecile MAGA morons listened to RFK Jr. and now have to deal with the disastrous consquences on their children.
The US is not Kennedy's only victim of his shamanic voodoo bull---t. In 2019, a measles outbreak ravaged Samoa, where Kennedy had visited just months before. His nonprofit organization “helped spread misinformation that contributed to the decline in measles vaccination that preceded the lethal eruption.” Eighty-three people died in the outbreak. Trump should award him a medal for killing so many children, both overseas and here at home.
In May, the CDC said it was no longer recommending vaccination against Covid-19 for healthy kids and pregnant women. Later, Kennedy ordered the CDC to remove language from its website stating that vaccines do not cause autism. Kennedy has baselessly maintained this to be the case. The secretary has also enacted massive personnel and research cuts at HHS. Moreover, in one particularly embarrassing episode, a “Make America Healthy Again” report cited several nonexistent studies.
