Trump administration Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined News Nation on Wednesday where he combatted mainstream media narratives about the current measles outbreak and other medical issues.
Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo tried attacking Kennedy for not urging people to take the experimental mRNA jab during the COVID-19 pandemic while noting he has recently touted the measles shot as an option for people worried about catching or spreading the illness.
RFK pointed out the U.S. has done better at managing the measles epidemic than any other country in the world, explaining Canada has the same rate with one-eighth of America’s population and Europe has ten-times the number of the U.S.
He continued to say that domestic measles numbers have plateaued and the rate of growth has gone down before noting certain people, such as Mennonites in Texas “have religious objections to the vaccination because the MMR vaccine has a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles. So, they don’t want to take it.”
“So, we ought to be able to take care of those populations when they get sick, and that’s one of the things that CDC has not done. CDC says the only thing that we have is vaccination,” Kennedy said. “There’s all kinds of treatments when people do get sick and those people should be treated with compassion… We’re developing that at CDC right now, protocols for treating measles.”
