RFK Jr. Leaves NewsNation Panel Speechless With One Brilliant Point on Measles

RFK Jr. is perhaps the most impactful HHS Secretary we’ve ever seen—but if you read the mainstream news, you’d think his first 100 days were a disaster.

While chronic disease drains trillions from Americans every year, the press can’t stop obsessing over measles.

Just look at these headlines:

“As measles cases rise, some parents become vaccine enthusiasts.” “US measles cases near 900, outbreaks reported in 10 states.” “Measles may be making a comeback in the U.S., Stanford Medicine experts warn.” It makes you think measles is a really big problem, but in reality, it’s not.

RFK Jr. expertly flipped this media narrative on its head in real time during his Wednesday night appearance on NewsNation—and it was so brilliant the audience gave him a round of applause.

NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo asked Kennedy:

“You weren’t saying that [get vaccinated] during COVID. That’s why people aren’t getting vaccinated. And now it’s a problem. How do you deal with that issue, and what responsibility do you have in terms of how people feel about getting vaccinated?”

Kennedy delivered a sharp, measured response. First, he pointed out that measles is a far smaller problem in the U.S. than it is globally.

He explained, “Right now we have about 842 cases, Chris. And Canada, they have about the same number. They have one-eighth of our population. Europe has ten times that number. Our numbers have plateaued.”

He noted that for years, the CDC has insisted the only way to manage measles is through universal vaccination. But Kennedy challenged that approach.

He argued that people who have concerns about the MMR vaccine—whether it’s due to aborted fetal debris or DNA particles—deserve access to treatment options.

“And that’s what we’re developing at CDC right now,” Kennedy said, “protocols for treating measles.”

Kennedy then delivered a devastating jab at the dominant measles narrative and put everything into perspective.

“I want to say this,” Kennedy began.

“We’ve had four measles deaths in this country in 20 years. We have 100,000 autism cases a year. We have 38% of our kids now are diabetic or pre-diabetic. That should be in the headlines,” he said.

*Applause erupted*

“When I was a kid, there were 2 million measles cases a year and none of them got headlines. And we had 400 deaths. We had deaths between 1 in 1,200 and 1 in 10,000. We have so many kids now who are afflicted by chronic disease. And the media never covers them. They only want to cover measles,” he added.

“And what I’ve been saying to people is, let’s pay attention to other illnesses as well—illnesses that are really, really damaging our country, that are existential for our country. We now spend almost a trillion dollars a year on diabetes and metabolic disorder,” Kennedy explained.

Then he drove the point home, contrasting the media’s obsession with measles to its silence on autism.

“By 2035, we’re going to be spending a million dollars a year on autism. Autism in 1970 was 1 in 10,000 Americans. Today, it’s 1 in 31. In California, it’s 1 in every 20 kids—1 in every 12.5 boys,” he said.

“This is what the media ought to be focusing on, and it’s not. And because of that, we don’t have the solutions and we don’t have the cures.”

During that 90-second stretch, the NewsNation panel sat there stunned in silence.

No pushback, no rebuttal.

That’s because they knew Kennedy was dropping undeniable truths.

Cuomo and friends understand the media’s job isn’t to inform parents or educate the public on real health solutions.

They’re only there to smear people like Kennedy and make mountains out of molehills. Because they know if they leave him unresisted, the public might get a little too close to the truth.

He didn’t mention where measles came from! From the wide-open southern border.

The big take away:

Cuomo and friends understand the media’s job isn’t to inform parents or educate the public on real health solutions. They’re only there to smear people like Kennedy and make mountains out of molehills.

Wonderful.

However, politicians are NOT doctors or medical experts.

GET THE FEDS OUT OF HEALTHCARE WHERE THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY BELONG!!!

I always wonder if research has been done into the effects of ultra-sound on babies developing in the womb.
Surely it has, but I haven’t heard about it.

Thanks for posting - it was an excellent show. I loved it..RFK. Jr. was great but not the Ragin’ Cajun - he doesn’t improve any, does he? OR the congressman Auchincloss against Congressman Rich McCormick (R-GA)...Hooray for Stephen A.....

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/that-s-why-y-all-lost-stephen-a-smith-torches-dem-rep-over-his-patronizing-attitude-toward-panel/ar-AA1DZDr4?ocid=BingNewsSerp

I thought Auchincloss was a closer relative to Jackie Bouvier Kennedy but checking it out, he’s only shirttail on the maternal side of her family..mother married to a Auchincloss after the death of her husband Bouvier. Kind of confusing to me so I won’t try to list what I found.

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED to find that he WAS once a member of the USMC...I know - “once a Marine, always a Marine” but he’s just too smarmy for that name!! He was one patronizing jerk last night and no doubt - ALWAYS! Just looking at his picture would make you feel like slapping him. Cuomo does have him on his show often.

Saw this live. After a real moment of silence Bill Oreilly spoke up and said “excellent answer.” And it was.

Ultrasound for fetuses They should take a look

First place it it almost completely unnecessary. Maybe totally unnecessary
But he is on to something I believe with the vaccines. Have known too many cases where the kid- boys mostly- changed overnight and forever after vaccinations. And waaaayy too many at once.

When the medical community/industry reps are faced with a patient or a mother who wants to do things according to what the patient thinks is safer based on research they freak out. They get their SS going
Patients and mothers of patients succumb to why? They work for you. Not the other way around as in Stalingrad c 1950

I remember measles parties. One kid came down with it, and mom’s invited the infected kid over to give their kid measles. Thus, herd immunity attained.

It’s so frustrating that people are still afraid to tell the simple, unvarnished truth of the matter!

Just like it took FIVE YEARS to begin getting the truth of the COVID origin out there.

I think the strain of measles we encounter today is way stronger than that which we were exposed to in the 50’s and 60s.

I never heard of any kids dying of measles before this latest breakout. Adults yes, but not kids.........

We should be far more concerned by the communicable diseases brought in by the millions of illegals coming from areas where diseases like TB and even Ebola are endemic. Getting measles and chicken pox were a right of passage when I was a kid. Everybody sooner or later got them. I am not against vaccinating against these diseases, my kids and grandkids were vaccinated. However we need to be assured that these vaccines are safe. We were hoodwinked by the CDC and media that theCOVID shots were safe and effective and are finding out neither was true.

mRNA is not a vaccine.

They had to change the definition of ‘vaccine’ to make it one................
