RFK Jr. Contributed to Samoa Measles Outbreak That Killed 83

In the small island country of Samoa, lives have been forever altered by an outbreak of the disease in 2019 that caused at least 83 deaths and 1,867 hospitalisations, mostly of babies and young children. Thousands more fell sick. Now, five years on from an epidemic that has traumatised a generation, Samoan health officials are among those sounding alarm over the nomination of Kennedy as US health secretary.

His nomination for HHS Secretary is an insult to all scientists, all educated people, all the victims of communicable disease who had family die because of not being vaccinated. Louis Pasteur, Jonas Salk and other vaccination pioneers are being insulted by his consideratiion for that post! Thank you Donald Trump, was the small number of votes he brought you wotth the unnecessary deaths this lunatic will cause worth it?
