HUFFPOST: 'He's Full Of S**t': Pediatrician In Congress Blames RFK Jr. For Child's Death From Measles

“I do blame him and others like him who, for the past 20 years, have been spreading lies about vaccines," said Rep. Kim Schrier (D-Wash.).


john,

Last week, the U.S. recorded its first measles death in over a decade. This didn’t have to happen.

In 2000, thanks to science and the introduction of the measles vaccine, measles was considered eliminated in the United States. Vaccines save lives—plain and simple.

But now, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories are bringing back deadly diseases we worked so hard to eradicate. Donald Trump, RFK Jr., and extreme Republicans are responsible for leading the charge, spreading dangerous anti-vaccine propaganda and encouraging parents not to vaccinate their kids.

And Dr. Kim Schrier is calling them out for it. In fact, just hours before this preventable tragedy, Kim asked her Republican colleagues in Congress if they would hold RFK Jr. accountable for spreading vaccine misinformation. They laughed. Now, a child is dead because of it.

Vaccines are settled science. As a pediatrician, Kim is appalled by the negligence Republicans are displaying by falling into RFK’s conspiracy theories. And as your congresswoman, she’s using her position to fight for science, for healthcare, and against these anti-science lies that put our communities in danger.

We can’t let their reckless rhetoric go unchallenged. Lives are on the line. Add your name now to demand Trump, RFK Jr., and extreme Republicans stop spreading misinformation about vaccines and start protecting American lives. >> [link removed]
