Reminder: RFK Jr caused a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly children.
RFK Jr and his non-profit visited Samoa to lobby the government and spread misinformation that reduced measles vaccination rates.
He may now lead the top US health agency.
@luckytran@med-mastodon.comHere's a good article detailing how RFK Jr caused a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/how-rfk-jr-falsely-denied-his-connection-to-a-deadly-measles-outbreak-in-samoa/
@luckytran I think he's been hired to cull the herd.
@luckytran I had the measles when I was a kid. It was no joke. Even after the infection is gone it’s kind of like long COVID. I was very tired, weakened immune system, and ended up with Scarlet fever soon after. Took months to recover. So that school year was shot. This anti-vaccinations nonsense is inconceivable to me.
@luckytran Crazy thing is he tries to deny this by claiming that low vaccination rates were not caused by him - which means that he recognizes vaccination would have prevented the outbreak.
