Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the nation is likely to lose its status as a country where the disease is eliminated, something that infectious disease specialists say is directly related to Trump’s appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
South Carolina this week quarantined at least 254 people after confirming more than two dozen measles cases in the state. It’s the latest in what has been the worst year for measles in the U.S. in recent history.
An outbreak in West Texas this year saw more than 700 confirmed cases since January and the deaths of two children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have been 47 reported outbreaks in the country this year.
Thanks RFK Jr, you cunt.
Waiting for the day something like Cancer will be downplayed by these parasites.
Kennedy is a huge part of the problem, but MAGA weaponizing/turning vaccines and healthcare into political topics unfortunately started long before anyone thought Kennedy would ever hold any position. Basically when Trump thought he may lose office his team tried to flip the script that the vaccines, he pushed for, and the lockdowns he started were somehow only because of Democrats. By 2022, near any conservative you talked to were saying Biden started the lockdowns and Trump never pushed for vaccines. And Kennedy wasn’t even in the picture yet for most people.
Yeah. It’s incredible that people forgot the Trump year of Covid 19 so quickly; I think that single handedly changes how I perceive politics, and voters’ attention spans.
