Summary
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed measles vaccine protection “wanes very quickly” and questioned its safety, despite urging vaccinations.
Experts criticized Kennedy’s misinformation, noting two MMR doses provide lifelong immunity and that vaccines are rigorously tested and monitored.
The U.S. faces its largest measles outbreak since 2019, with 668 cases and three deaths.
Kennedy’s statements, seen as nods to anti-vaccine supporters, raise fears the U.S. may lose its measles elimination status.
RFK keeps flip flopping on how effective he thinks vaccines are. It’s like the man wants to tell people to get vaccinated, but the worm wants people to think vitamin A is the solution.
I think it’s the opposite. He’s so far off his rocker that he’s being made to give the occasional “pro vaccine” statement. Like the apology that kids are forced to make at times.
