Two days after initially downplaying the outbreak as “not unusual,” the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, on Friday said he recognizes the serious impact of the ongoing measles epidemic in Texas – in which a child died recently – and said the government is providing resources, including protective vaccines.
“Ending the measles outbreak is a top priority for me and my extraordinary team,” Kennedy – an avowed anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist who for years has sown doubts about the safety and efficacy of vaccines – said in a post on X.
Kennedy said his federal Department of Health and Human Services would send Texas 2,000 doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine – typically meant to be given to children in a series of two shots at 12 to 15 months old as well as between the ages of four and six years old – through its immunization program.
“I sent vaccines to the antivaxxers, this is a great idea that will surely resolve the issue.”
Guy needs a new brainworm to pilot him cuz that move is stupid as fuck.
The idea that RFK is piloted by a brain worm is ridiculous misinformation. The worm in RFK’s brain died. Probably because his thoughts are so toxic.
The pilot died? Well that does explain a lot.
standing on uncovered shit spigot while shit sprays in face and mouth at high pressure
“Hmmm maybe I’ll consider putting the spigot back on. Gotta contain the shit y’know”
He’s sending supplies of oil of oregano and industrial bleach.
Oh does he now wish to keep his position?
his worms love to. rfk jr’s brain died decades ago.
2000 doses…that’s it?
It’s more effective than mandating it and forcing health care companies to pay for it. /Sarcasm in case anyone was wondering
on one person.
Yeah. That’s nothing.
Bird flu in the corner, gleefully rubbing its hands. Soon I will get the spotlight.
They have found bird flu in rats now
After that he can tackle the weasel outbreak in the white house.
and the cultists will say “SEE HE’S DOING SOMETHING HE SUPPORTS VACCINES!!!eleven!!!”, the media will praise the administration for this action, and the smart ones will point out that 2000 vaccine doses for a measles outbreak is a pathetically small number that might stem the tide a bit at best. this entire response has been an absolute clusterfuck and our spineless media won’t call it out for fear of retaliation.
2000 doses is enough to vaccinate 1000 individuals. He’s sending enough to vaccinate a single neighborhood. This is almost medically meaningless. It’s only for show and does not cover the situation or care for any individuals at length.
It does however expose that he does believe in vaccines to some degree and that jfk jr doesn’t actually believe his own bullshit in an emergency.
Depending on the area, 1000 could easily not even be a neighborhood
Surely the bigger issue is that even if you have 1000 kids to vaccinate, there are 10,000 parents who don’t believe measles is anything to be worried about?
The NIH believes 7% of Americans are anti-vax, so in Texas that 10,000 is more like 2.1m.
We know it’s a priority - and so far you’re doing a great job getting it spread around everywhere
His top priority really ought to be drinking himself to death ASAP.
Sorry but I disagree. Drinking yourself to death is not painful enough.
Someone needs to introduce him to this new homeopathic treatment I just invented called Bath Salts Therapy. Give him his first dose on stage
He’s coming around, boys. I think we’re going to be ok.
I think you’re overly optimistic here. Samoa was only 6 years ago.
Remember this anytime you see this fuck say anything about “it’s for the children”. His group encouraged them not to vaccinate, and then:
“Months after Kennedy’s visit, the question of what would happen to Samoa’s unvaccinated babies was answered. A measles outbreak swept the country, sickening thousands and killing 83, mostly small children. As measles raged, Kennedy stayed connected to the island, writing to the prime minister to raise concerns about the vaccine and providing medical guidance to a local anti-vaccine activist who posted false claims about the vaccination campaign and promoted unproven alternative cures.”
That’s weird, why would he send vaccines? Those have 5g signal receivers in it for mind control. Is he stupid?
They included 2000 tin foil hats in the package
Because it’s rural Texas. They need the bars!
“I think the metal plate in your head is fucking with my reception…”
The immunity rate if fully vaccinated is 97%, but that still means 3% of people that did the right thing could die because of shithead conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. Heard immunity only works if everyone that can does the right thing. We learned with COVID that many people would rather turn to conspiracy theories then science if it means they get a feeling of belonging to a group, even if that group is a cult.
I can only hope one of the experts got through to him. Hopefully he keeps listening to whoever it was.
