Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This week is confronted with a new wave of recoil on social media after he told Fox News that it would be better if people had sustained measles so that they could develop natural immunities.
Instead of advising Americans to get the vaccine against the deadly disease, the secretary of President Donald Trump and the human services suggested that it would be better to get measles instead.
There is an increased check on the vaccine sashesis of RFK Jr. in the midst of an outbreak of measles in Texas.
He was roasted online for placing an image of himself that walked above the Coachella valley last weekend instead of working around the clock to tackle the rising spread of the disease.
In an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, which was broadcast on Tuesday evening, the HHS Kop seemed to prefer natural immunity due to exposure to the virus.
“It used to be, when I was a child, that everyone had measles,” he told Hannity during an interview in a steak 'n shake. “And the measles gave your lifelong protection against measles infection.”
“The vaccine doesn't work,” he said in repeating his anti-vaxxer positions. “For some people, the vaccine is effective for life, but for many people it is declining.”
Critics of Trump, RFK Jr. And the anti-vaccine movement was immediately not in order with how the HHS secretary spoke about the outbreak.
Health and Human Services -Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that people should get natural immunities in measles instead of getting the vaccine – which means that more people would need the deadly disease
It comes in the midst of an outbreak of measles in Texas with 250 cases, 29 hospital admissions and two dead in registered, and other cases reported in New York, California and Maryland
Users of Social Media mentioned his latest comments and claims about natural measles immunities 'Bonkers' and 'Nonsense'.
“We had 16 outbreaks of measles last year,” he noticed at Hannity. “Some years we have hundreds of measles outbreaks.”
“Part of it is that there are people who do not vaccinate, but also the vaccine itself is declining,” he added in a part of his skepticism. “The vaccine decreases approximately 4.5% per year, so that means that older people are essentially not -vaccinated.”
The most important argument of Kennedy, however, is that the government should not force people to get the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine under pressure to get the inoculation of COVID-19 after it was developed in the middle of the pandemic.
In Texas, the increase in measles cases is amid a decrease in vaccination rates, partly fed by Covid -Scepsis.
“There are unwanted events from the vaccine. It causes killing every year, “noted RFK Jr. on. “It causes all diseases that causes measles themselves, such as encephalitis and blindness, etc., so people should be able to make that choice for themselves,” he said in the FOX News interview.
Measles is the most contagious disease in the world, where one patient is able to infect nine out of 10 non -vaccinated people with which they come into contact. The MMR JAB reduces the risk of developing the disease by 97 percent by two doses – and 93 percent by only one dose.
More than 250 people are infected with measles in Texas with 29 hospital admissions and two dead so far.
Kennedy recently shifted his position to admit that vaccinations are useful, he has still stopped insisting skeptics to get it.

RFK Jr. The issue of the mother's immunity touched and said that mothers who received measles could transfer those immunities through transplacental transfer during pregnancy or transferring breast milk after birth.
'[The MMR vaccine] Does not seem to offer material immunity, it used to be that very young children were protected by breast milk, “said the cabinet secretary.
“Women who are vaccinated do not offer that immunity level that did the natural measles infection,” he added. “So you now see measles touching very young children and touching the elderly in which the vaccine decreased.”
Three large American airports have already raised the alarm about measles this year.
Warnings were issued on Los Angeles International Airport Lax, JFK International Airport in New York and Dulles International Airport from Washington DC.
California, New York and Maryland have reported things on top of the outbreak in the Lone Star State.
The infection is spread through breathing drops that are driven through cough and sneezing that can hang in the air for up to two hours.
Infected patients first suffer from fever, cough, runny nose and sore throat before they develop the characteristic red rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body, including the neck, trunk, arms, legs and feet.
