This outbreak is caused by people not vaccinating their children against measles. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health & Human Services, who is a longtime anti-vaxxer, has encouraged parents to give their children mega doses of vitamin A instead of vaccinations. These parents learned the hard way that vitamin A doesn’t protect against measles, and megadoses of vitamin A can cause liver damage.
The measles vaccination is 97 percent effective, and was developed in 1963. I had measles in 1955, when I was 6 years old. I became deathly ill with pneumonia and nearly died. For years afterwards, I suffered the after effects of chronic ear infections. I wouldn’t wish measles on my worst enemy.
Please get vaccinated and get your kids vaccinated.

Citizens United must be repealed? NO. It’s the FEC that needs fixing.
Sally, you lied several times in your statements. First, RFK Jr is not an anti-vaxer. He is current on all of his vaccines except the Covid vaccine. Secondly, he has not advised people to take vitamin A instead of getting vaccines. He has advised that measles patients be treated with low doses of Vitamin A which is also what the WHO claims to be a beneficial supplement for patients with active measles infections to protect eye sight. Thirdly, there is zero proof that measles caused your chronic ear infections. Chronic ear infectious affect 5% of the US population. Lastly, by no means in measles a death sentence. It is a viral infection much like any viral infection.
Jeff,
RFK Jr. definitely has a long anti-vaxxer history https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2024/12/what-to-know-about-robert-f-kennedy-jrs-anti-vaccine-advocacy/
Jeff, did you just say that Measles is no big deal?
What?!! Please tell me which line in my comment says “measles is no big deal.” I said it’s not a death sentence and it’s much like any other viral infection.
If you would have told me 20 years ago that the wisdom behind being vaccinated for measles, or well, anything else for that matter, would be open for debate, I would have not believed you. Wow, the internet surely has changed things.
Jeff’s done his own research. It’s just another harmless virus. Assume some ivermectin is all you need
What?!!,
You sound very much like the typical liberal. When presented with logic, you result to insults and more hyperbole. You don’t even know how to have a reasonable conversation. But that’s what I’ve come anticipate when talking to libs. I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you support criminal, illegal aliens, higher taxes, and more wars and see how that works out for you.
