The health of our children is in peril as RFK Jr. leads our federal health department. Measles is a preventable disease that we should not have to worry about, and yet here we are.
We can’t just blame RFK Jr. Republican Senators like Dr. Bill Cassidy knew of RFK Jr.’s proven track record of spreading anti-vaccine misinformation and still confirmed him. NOW, measles is spreading at a rapid rate in Texas and we are stuck with a health leader who consistently undermines vaccines.
As a doctor myself, it astounds me that Bill Cassidy, a doctor who did vaccine research, would bend to political pressure from Trump’s allies and confirm RFK Jr.
Cassidy said he would use his authority as Chairman of the Senate Committee that oversees the HHS to protect vaccines and to rebuff misinformation. But where is he now as RFK Jr. continues to spread dangerous misinformation?
RFK Jr. promoted Vitamin A as a way to manage measles, said it’s ‘almost impossible’ for an infectious disease to kill a healthy person, and tried to link measles to bad diets. Children are suffering from a preventable disease due to false rhetoric like this and it must be stopped.
