Yeah.

During Pres Trump 1.0, it was, make COVID great again.


Now he seems to have switched to measles.


May Sec Kennedy can just tie a dead bird to the roof of his car and magically make measles go away?

Measles vaccine is included in MMR vaccine and MMRV vaccine; MMRV is only licensed for children 1-12 years old. Weird.

Gacy quoting the CDC's science. Priceless.

Re 5

Not sure what you are trying to say.

But the measles vaccine is also available for adults.

MMR vaccine for Adults:
The MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, is recommended for adults who:
Were born after 1957.
Have never had measles or been vaccinated.
Don't have proof of vaccination or immunity.

Certain groups of adults should receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, separated by at least 28 days, including:
Students at post-secondary institutions.
Health-care workers.
International travelers.
Women of childbearing age before they become pregnant.
Anyone in an area where an outbreak is occurring.
People who were immunized between 1963 and 1967 with an inactivated measles vaccine.

And now you know the rest of the story.

The purveyor of the vaccine decides what they will study, and for whom they will pursue an indication, not FDA.
