RFK Jr. Tells CDC To Go All In On Bogus Vitamin ‘Cures’ For Measles
HuffPost
The health secretary has been promoting vitamin A and other unproven treatments for a disease that is highly preventable with a vaccine.
Amid the largest measles outbreak in decades, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading a new effort to find treatments for the infectious disease for Americans who “choose not to vaccinate.”
HHS announced Friday that Kennedy, a prominent spreader of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and propaganda, is directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to come up with more measles treatments ― even though decades of research have never turned up effective treatments for measles, reinforcing the importance of the highly effective vaccine.
“Secretary Kennedy will be enlisting the entire agency to activate a scientific process to treat a host of diseases, including measles, with single or multiple existing drugs in combination with vitamins and other modalities,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said in a statement.
The directive comes because Kennedy and department officials “recognize that some individuals and communities across the U.S. may choose not to vaccinate,” Nixon continued.
“This effort will involve collaboration with universities nationwide to develop protocols, conduct testing, and pursue approval for new uses of safe and effective therapeutics that meet the highest scientific standards,” Nixon said.
