RFK Jr sparks alarm after backing vitamins to treat measles amid outbreak

Health experts wary as US health secretary fails to endorse effective vaccines and instead calls them a ‘personal choice’

Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, has caused alarm among pediatricians, vaccine experts and lawmakers with an opinion piece that focuses on vitamin A and nutrition as treatments for measles.

In response to a measles outbreak in Texas, which resulted in the first American measles death in nearly a decade, Kennedy wrote for Fox News about the benefits of “good nutrition” and vitamin A – but did not explicitly recommend highly effective vaccines.

“In fact, relying on vitamin A instead of the vaccine is not only dangerous and ineffective, but it puts children at serious risk,” Dr Sue Kressly, the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, told the Washington Post.

Kennedy’s actions also sparked outrage from Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic Massachusetts senator who demanded Kennedy clarify his “intentions” for US vaccine policy in a Monday letter.

 

“These are dangerous times for public health,” Warren wrote, according to CNN, citing a difficult flu season and the dangers of the H5N1 strain known as bird flu. “Your irresponsible and reckless efforts to undermine the nation’s vaccine policy threaten to fan the flames of disaster.”

I regret to admit that I fully expect the medical regime to try to worsen measles in order to blame RFK Jr.

Is this measles vaccine an mRNA jab?

Pharma Companies have a vested interest in it, but this should be expected from them right?

Dear Americans,

You should never, ever trust any government agent with your life, because history has repeatedly shown that doing so can be very, very bad for you, and sometimes also for your family, your neighborhood, your city, your state, and/or your country.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Have a nice day!

Let me assure you, measles is rarely a problem. I had measles. Millions of kids had measles. NO ONE I knew ever had a serious problem.

When I was a kid, there was no such thing as a vaccine for chicken pox, measles or mumps. You contracted them from your siblings or your fellow students, and we survived. My oldest son got one of the first batches of measles vaccine when they came out. Two years later he contracted full-blown measles. Our pediatrician at the time told us that those early batches ended up being worthless.

I don't know. I don't trust them to tell us if it is. They are adapting their terminology to conceral mRNA in discussions, and before leaving, Fauci did say that mRNA was so successful, all vaccines going forward would be based on it. But I don't know which vaccines might be mRNA at this point.

What makes me suspicious, aside from the continous denials and lying about the entire Plandemic, is that I believe I heard complaints about 2 years ago that the Hawaiian public health would not administer or advise patients to take vitamin A. WHomever was making this complaint said the 'outbreak' there could be address by Vitamin A and I didn't understand why public health would NOT advocate it. The same is true of 'Covid'. Vitamin D and Zinc work together to powerfully suppress Covid and reduce hospitalization/death, but did you ever hear the CDC advocate taking it, or giving these substances to the public free?

Corporate media relies heavily on Pharma ads.

Your chart is proving that measle vaccines work... 9 deaths since 2000? Measles typically killed millions each year before 1963 when a vaccine was developed.

The measles vaccine has saved tens of millions of lives and for the most part, it is a very safe and very effective vaccine. Vaccines that work are great... The Covid vaccines didn’t, but that doesn’t mean that ‘all’ vaccines don’t work.

The polio, measles and smallpox vaccines work... In fact... Smallpox was a scourge on humanity for many centuries until vaccinations began in the later part of the 18th century. Smallpox was eliminated in the 20th century with the last known case of naturally occurring smallpox occurring in 1977. Now it only exist in a lab... And if somebody releases it and you aren’t vaccinated... You better get vaccinated as quickly as possible.

He did what now? "In response to this outbreak, I have directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to work closely with the Texas health authorities to provide comprehensive support. HHS’ efforts include offering technical assistance, laboratory support, vaccines, and therapeutic medications as needed."

“”Let me assure you, measles is rarely a problem. I had measles. Millions of kids had measles. NO ONE I knew ever had a serious problem.””

Here is a fantastic compare and contrast about measles from when we were growing up, until today’s insanity.

I had measles and there were no shots to combat it, and within a week the measles were gone. I actually felt nothing, and was more concerned when I looked in the mirror that I had a major breakout of pimples in my sleep.

I remember me going into my parents room & telling my mother that I was not going to school. She said half-asleep, why not?

I said look at me. I woke up this morning and I have pimples all over my face. My mother looked up at me and started laughing. I said it's not funny. She said it is funny, because you do not have pimples, you have the measles.

Happily it put a smile on my face as I said, then I do get to stay home?

She said yes you do.

Bottom line, measles were nothing. As an adult I understand it is far more serious. Now there may be reasons that they are more harmful to kids, because kids do not get enough exercise like we did back then. There may be other reasons too, which is why I am happy to see RFK Jr. looking into Making America Healthy Again.

Polio vaccine came out near the end of the epidemic. Vitamins were wiping it out. You’ve been lied to.

I know people who had polio... All the vitamins in the world won’t help you with polio. The only thing that can help you with polio is a vaccine... Take or it don’t... That’s your choice, but when a machine is doing your breathing for you... You may regret that vitamin treatment.

I have no doubt that this article leaves out any information that RFKjr plans to use vaccines. It’s an obvious hit job.
