[quote=Anonymous]RFK Jr is such a morally challenged drug addled disgrace.  It’s a shame he’s our nation’s chief medical officer with no medical credentials to speak of.  Oh well.  First measles death in more than a decade on his watch.

In federal response, RFK Jr. appears to misstate several facts
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official and a vaccine critic, said Wednesday that the U.S. Department of the Health and Human Services is watching cases and dismissed the Texas outbreak as “not unusual.”

He appeared to misstate a number of facts, including a claim that most who had been hospitalized were there only for “quarantine.” Dr. Lara Johnson at Covenant contested that characterization.

“We don’t hospitalize patients for quarantine purposes,” said Johnson, the chief medical officer.

Kennedy also seemed to misspeak in saying two people had died of measles. A spokesman — Andrew Nixon, for the Department of Health and Human Services — later clarified that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified only one death.[/quote]
