Yep, he begrudgingly says the bare minimum when he's in front of mainstream cameras and microphones and that gets a headline, then he runs off to social media to rant and rave about snake oil bullshit and that gets buried at the bottom of the article
While in Texas, Kennedy also posted on X that the "most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine." ...
...
In a later post, Kennedy also said he had met with "two extraordinary healers" who he said have "healed some 300 measles-stricken Mennonite children using aerosolized budesonide and clarithromycin."
Budesonide can sometimes help to treat respiratory illnesses, reducing inflammation in the lungs, said pediatrics professor Dr. James Campbell of the University of Maryland in an email in March. CBS News reached out to Campbell after Kennedy previously hailed "miraculous and instantaneous recovery" from use of these treatments.
"In 2025, we should not have to treat measles in the US because it is completely preventable, but of course, like all preventable diseases, we do," said Campbell.
Campbell is vice chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics committee that develops recommendations for treating measles and other infectious diseases.
Clarithromycin, an antibacterial drug, has no effect on viruses like measles but can be used by doctors to treat coinfections from some bacterial pneumonias that sometimes develop in infected children, Campbell said. However, it does not work for all bacteria.
"These choices should be made on an individual basis by the doctors, not as sweeping recommendations for all children with measles," said Campbell. He said that the drugs don't have evidence proving they should be used as routine treatments for measles and cautioned against "sweeping statements about how those singular choices related to treatment of measles in general."
"Vaccination will prevent measles, but for those who do get measles, rigorous studies, and not anecdotal reports, will help us to better treat them," said Campbell.
Do you have any idea the physical toll three vasectomies has on a person?!
Did they by any chance cut slightly too high and lobotomized him on accident?
Man I'm worried about measles in the next year. All the health departments being gutted, I don't think we're going to have a good tracking system to know how far and wide it's going to spread. Big outbreak in Mexico that traces from the Texas outbreak. I am thankful that my immediate area is 95% vaccinated for MMR which should be good for herd immunity but there are a looooot of places these days that are below that. Kids don't deserve this and they will be the ones to suffer.
You can probably get a booster.
Yes you can! I got a booster at CVS, with same day appointment. My health insurance covered it at no cost. Doc said it's safe to get additional and will get you a boost in protection.
What changed his mind? Did he hit his head again? Did someone administer electro shock to his stupid brain?💩
