"Lara Anton, spokesperson for state health dept, said her office refused the shipment from HHS 'because healthcare providers have not requested it from us.' Kennedy also said that he believes budesonide, clarithromycin, or cod-liver oil can treat measles, but the health department apparently doesn’t want those either."

"RFK Jr. told Fox earlier this month that he was delivering vitamin A to measles-stricken communities in West Texas immediately. But a Texas health official told The Atlantic that no doses of vitamin A ever arrived at the state health department—not because RFK Jr. broke his promise, but because Texas doctors didn’t want them."

Auntie Mavis’ Musings · Measles Is One Of The Most Contagious Diseases On EarthBy Amelia Mavis Christnot

"Kennedy is a quack, and a dangerous one. These ideas are only the tip of the iceberg. Regardless of what he says for public consumption, he is an anti-vaxxer. So are his 'experts.' They ignore the reality that any vaccine can only be effective with mass administration. Voluntary vaccination won’t cut it. He knows that.

This perversion of science will cost many thousands of lives, perhaps more."

America’s Fractured Politics · RFK Jr’s Insane InterviewBy Mark Mansour
Replied to William Lindsey :toad:

"He cheered on questionable treatments like cod liver oil, and said that local doctors had achieved 'almost miraculous and instantaneous' recoveries with steroids or antibiotics."

Note that shifting blame for contracting measles to lack of good diet and exercise blames victims in a particularly nasty way that makes invidious insinuations about social class and income. RFKJr. and his kind are models of good health?

"[RFKJr] issued a muffled call for vaccinations in the affected community, but said the choice was a personal one. He suggested that measles vaccine injuries were more common than known, contrary to extensive research. He asserted that natural immunity to measles, gained through infection, somehow also protected against cancer and heart disease, a claim not supported by research."

The New York Times · Kennedy Links Measles Outbreak to Poor Diet and Health, Citing Fringe TheoriesBy Teddy Rosenbluth

Secretary Brainworm, also known as RFK Jr., is at it again:
"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Reuters the agency is planning to conduct a large study into potential links between vaccines and autism, a pet theory of new Health Secretary RFK Jr. that lacks any supporting evidence":

How Baba Ramdev and associates used a tax-free charity to park Patanjali investments and funds

Patanjali set up a charitable entity to promote yoga and ayurveda. For years no charity work was undertaken. Instead it was used to consolidate the expanding business.
