Measles outbreak expands in West Texas around county with low vaccination rate | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/health/west-texas-measles-outbreak/index.html

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been transforming a government that long championed vaccines into one that questions their safety.
This is what could happen over the next 25 years if shots are unavailable even to the people who want them.

Leah Libresco Sargeant: "Moderna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases because ‘You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

Dr Oz says being healthy is a patriotic duty
Worse, he says they spend 70% of Medicare & Medicaid funds on chronic illness & aren’t “getting their money’s worth”
This is the quiet part said out loud.
They don’t want to cure chronic illness, they want us to take the blame.
They don’t want to pay.
They aren’t even being subtle anymore. They’re making lists of people with autism. They deride those who can’t work or serve in the military.
“Wise decisions” would be universal healthcare. Universal basic income. Addressing poverty, food deserts and income inequality.
This isn’t “wise decisions”, it’s eugenics.

"All of this leaves Americans without the information they need to understand how genuinely bonkers the direction of current U.S. #PublicHealth policy has become under Kennedy."

Lancet study reveals that vaccines have saved 154 million lives over the past 50 years, mostly infants, or 6 lives per minute. This would make the advent of vaccines the single greatest contribution to keeping babies alive. The measles vaccine has been the most significant, accounting for 60% of the lives saved due to immunization.
All that will likely change, thanks to Trump and RFK Jr. Not only are fewer people being vaccinated because of irrational and unfounded fear of vaccines, promoted by hucksters like RFK. The Trump administration's slashing of USAID and other international aid will also reduce vaccination rates among the poorest and most vulnerable children in the world.

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women.
Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent.

The American Public Health Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and several other major medical organizations are suing U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy over vaccines. Also listed as a plaintiff is an anonymous pregnant woman who lives in Massachusetts, where the suit was filed, and who says she was unable to get a COVID-19 vaccination after Kennedy changed the recommendations. Dr. Jason Goldman, president of the American College of Physicians, which is also involved with the suit, said during a briefing on the matter that adults who come to his practice are “hesitant” about vaccines. “They are not trusting the system anymore, and this is a direct impact on the health of our patients, because if they don’t get vaccinated, they can get sicker, they can end up hospitalized or even die."
