Measles outbreak more serious than COVID-19: Former CDC director

@Convivial These slides tell the story:






Now let’s discuss Kennedy’s lame and dishonest retort to Governor’s Shapiro’s rebuke of Kennedy’s LIES, MISINFORMATION, AND ATTEMPTS TO DISTRACT FROM HIS OWN INCOMPETENCE!

1. Kennedy GROSSLY MISMANAGED THE TEXAS MEASLES OUTBREAK sowing disdain for the well established, safe, and effective way of preventing measles: the MMR vaccine. Instead, Kennedy pushed his “remedy” of chicken soup, cod liver oil, and vitamin A supplements. Kennedy apparently based his “remedy” on the fact that people who are deficient in vitamin A have more serious complications from measles. However, in his ignorance Kennedy was unaware that vitamin A deficiency is extremely rare in the United States and that large doses of vitamin A results in vitamin A acute toxicity (AKA hypervitaminosis A) which is toxic and potentially lethal in and of itself. This resulted in multiple children being admitted to children’s hospitals in Texas with liver dysfunction [fortunately no deaths—no thanks to RFK, Jr!]. His “remedy” did not effectively treat, prevent, nor curtail a single case of measles! (I do not know the severity of the liver dysfunction—however, if severe enough it could potentially require liver transplant).

Kennedy also highlighted two doctors giving non-standard treatments to children in Texas—one of whom was HIMSELF actively infected with measles and himself INFECTIVE and treating susceptible patients! With I EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS!

HOW DARE KENNEDY DERIDE GOVERNOR SHAPIRO FOR REBUFFING HIS “OFFER OF AID”! KENNEDY HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS NEEDED, WHAT IS EFFECTIVE, AND ONLY OBSTRUCTS CORRECT AND POTENTIALLY LIFESAVING CARE!

Then, Kennedy LIES ABOUT THE STATISTICS AND DENIES DEATHS ARE DUE TO THE VERY VIRUS HE ENABLES AND EMPOWERS!

Kennedy must be removed! This has gone on for almost TWO YEARS NOW, IS GETTING WORSE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO ESCALATE UNTIL THIS FOOL IS REMOVED!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Seems apparent that MAGA don't really care about their kids, if Trump administration says no vaccine, then no vac it is.

And the ignorant will cry " why weren't we told"
