The Trump administration does not have a whole lot of successes under its belt but they have accomplished at least one thing.
After decades of dormancy, due to a vigorous immunization program, with the right amount of stupid in Washington, we have now managed to bring measles back.Measles is expected to lose its immunization status in January of 2026.
The disease has cropped up in low vaccination states like Texas, Arizona and Utah and has been spreading out like wildfires.
Easy to point fingers here, RFK Jr. downplayed the problem earlier this year, intimating that the disease was no big deal.
“Every child who gets measles gets a headline,” Kennedy said during the visit alongside Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. “When I was kid, there were 2 million measles cases a year and nobody wrote about them.”
Don't worry, Kennedy has a snake oil cure and you don't have to drink bleach this time. A little vitamin A and some steroids will not cure you but might stop the itch a little. Rest is in god's hands.
Trump and his MAGA cohorts have managed to destroy the CDC and seriously set back health care in this country and here you have it. More info on measles here. Can polio and tuberculosis be far behind? Because your "religious freedom" now gives you the right to get everyone else sick.
