Dr. Oz During Fatal Measles Spike: Please Vax

Dr. Mehmet Oz told people to "take the vaccine, please" amid an ongoing spike in measles cases, including South Carolina's current record-breaking outbreak. "Not all illnesses are equally dangerous and not all people are equally susceptible to those illnesses," the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator told CNN's State of the Union. "But measles is one [where] you should get your vaccine." "Take the vaccine, please," he said.

When CNN anchor Dana Bash asked Oz if South Carolina's outbreak was "a consequence of the administration undermining support or advocacy for measles vaccines," he replied, "I don't believe so, we've advocated for measles vaccines all along. Secretary Kennedy has been at the front of this""

"Oh, come on," Bash replied, as Kennedy has long dismissed the importance of the shots and falsely claimed there was "fetus debris" in the shots.

@#1 ... he replied, "I don't believe so, we've advocated for measles vaccines all along. Secretary Kennedy has been at the front of this"" ...

The only thing regarding vaccines that they seem to be in front of is the chant --- avoid vaccines.

From the sub-summary ...

... MEHMET OZ: I would definitely not have mandates for vaccinations ...

Why?

What is wrong with helping people avoid deadly disease?


Of course, I could phrase that very question differently and ask ...

Why does the Trump administration seem to want to killoff Americans.

It is child abuse to withhold vital vaccines from a child.

It is a violation of the Eighth Amendment to withhold medical treatment from a prisoner.

Quack quack quack. It's a bit late to introduce science to the American people.

That's why we invented the Scriptures.

Put it in the Bible or a "Holy text" and then it becomes a directive from a God and then no Science is required!

The Problem of getting the Hoi Polloi to Obey the ever changing Whims of the Mad King is solved.

Dr. Oz. Haven't heard that name in a while.

Dr. Oz barely rates on the scale of how morally crippled Republicans are these days.
