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.

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.

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