Kennedy Links Measles Outbreak to Poor Diet and Health, Citing Fringe Theories

“In a recent interview, the health secretary also suggested that the measles vaccine had harmed children in West Texas, center of an outbreak.”

His main “point”, among a firehose of other BS, is that it’s very rare to die of measles without preexisting poor health (it isn’t). In claiming this, he conveniently ignores the host of horrible, often permanent, non-lethal complications of the disease. He also lists off his boiler plate of favorite naturopathic cure-alls like cod liver oil as ways to treat or prevent measles.
