“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
If only there was another proven way of doing this without the risk of serious complications of getting sick.
He didn’t actually say this, he said that the vaccination immunity doesn’t last a lifetime and doesn’t get passed from the mother, which increases the risk to the very young and elderly. He very explicitly encouraged people to get vaccinated.
I don’t like him but in this particular case he hasn’t said anything wrong. My only problem with what he said is the way he weighed the potential side effects of the vaccine and measles as if they’re even remotely comparable.
Articles like these act as noise which drowns out the much larger issues in the administration.
