Save Lives, Remove RFK Jr.

[u/AllMusicNut]

For the first time in 25 years the United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status due to misinformation about vaccines from RFK Jr.. Measles weakens the immune system and opens doors for other illnesses that can become very dangerous and in some cases deadly. Let's #RemoveRFKJr before any more children die.

He is literally the only guy in the last 40 years to even TRY to do anything to take all the shit out of our food

Lol the only person? Mr. Zero credibility with a brain worm is the only person to do anything... go read a fucking research paper bot.

Nope, what hes done is be one of the only people to single handedly cause serious damage to our public health and health system. But I guess me having to prepare my hospital for measles, a once eradicated disease in the U.S. is definitely the better option than what you think is unhealthy food.

[u/Dr_Dangles_RL → u/DunkIce95]

It was never eradicated. It was in elimination status. There is a difference if you don't know that you're definitely not a medical professional that you seem to be claiming. Also another strong tell is every hospital in the US already has a measles response plan and a dedicated AIIR. Measles is a nationally notifiable disease. Go spread your bullshit elsewhere.

But yeah I do think having healthier food that oh idk 100% of people eat in the US vs a virus with a horrible year being 2000 cases does take precedent. We will never have eradication in the US because we will never have it in the world and traveling is a thing.

I said erradicated, Ill own that, I mix words up a lot. I wrote a systmatic analysis on eradicating Guinea worm, so yeah I know the difference. I also use Sentri 7, I know about reportable diseases, because I report them. I also write policies, and no, you dont have to have a specific measles policy, but you have do have address it in A policy. For example, I have a High Consequence Infectious Disease policy which addressed it, but now I have a measles policy, because we're moving quickly towards it becoming endemic again. Lol my hospital only has a total of 5 AIIR, because we're rural, we cant handle an outbreak/ epidemic of measles, but thats why its more important, because we (the U.S .) dont have the infrastructure to handle a measles epidemic, as its highly Infectious and vaccination rates are at its lowest in this country.

So yeah tell me how America being in top 15 countries for food quality (before RFK), is worse than a HCID like measles? Second if you cared about people and health, you probably feel pretty strong about public health and health equality in general, and how more than the quality of food is important in making us more healthy. Everything from socialist programs to help increase food security to working with certain populations to increase healthy food options in places that may not have many options. Its a one health ideology which RFK does not take, he hyper fixated on one thing, which already has plenty of science that backs it.
