HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. issued a formal statement about the measles outbreak, including the role of vaccines, vitamin A, and nutrition. I agree with almost everything he says. It’s as if he saw my measles video from last week – so let’s talk about it!
Check out my initial video on this topic: “Measles Outbreak in Texas: Is Vaccine Shedding to Blame?”
