Will Sommer reports that RFK Jr.'s anti-vax fanbase is turning against him after he visited the family of the second child in Texas to die of measles and then posted on X yesterday that the measles vaccine is "the most effective way to prevent spread of measles."

May I join the chorus of people who have said that #RFKJr is a mendacious sack of shit who has killed kids and continues to kill kids with his anti-vaxx lies?
He can't walk this back and act like he's a vaccine cheerleader. He's a lying propagandist for a death cult. We had *eradicated* measles in the US, and RFKJr has been critical to bringing it back.

Is #RFKJr up to date on HIS vaccines?

Just some information, if you don’t believe in science, just ignore and keep taking high doses of vitamin A, #RFKjr says it’s OK.

Just give #RFKjr a hooded black robe and a scythe; he's going to a funeral of a child he helped kill.
'This is the epitome of an absolute needless death,” said Dr. Peter Marks. “These kids should get vaccinated — that’s how you prevent people from dying of measles'
Wouldn't let this shyster anywhere near my dead child.
"Anti-Vax RFK Jr. to Attend Funeral of Second Child to Die in Texas Measles Outbreak"

Trump's Health and Human Services secretary has spread misinformation about the vaccine and treatments for the disease.

Instead of Making America Healthy Again #Trump & #RFKJr are crippling #HHS services, some statutorily required by Congress, with mass layoffs shutting down entire departments that were keeping Americans safe without an operational restructured replacement. For example, any delays in food & drug recalls while they gut the agency risk American lives.
Something I think about all the time is the overlapping venn diagram of capitalism, for-profit healthcare, doctor shortages, doctor burnout, angry patients, charlatans, grifters, and the antivaxx movement. This is resulting in the deaths of innocent children
Second child died from measles-related causes in West Texas, where cases are nearing 500

"Got to say it takes a lot of nerve for #RFKjr to attend the funeral of a child he's at least partly responsible for killing."
I saw that, and thought as I have so many times lately that the #Republican party has lost all sense of appropriate optics and is simply running full speed ahead into whatever wall it's created for itself
And for good measure the #GOP will then slam its hand in whatever door is available
A political party of bomb-throwing loose cannons
A second #child with #measles has died in #Texas where hundreds of cases of the #disease have been recorded in recent weeks, prompting #Trump’s *#Health* #RFKJr to plan a trip to the state, local media reported early on Sunday.

@adapalmer It's #vaccination. Everyone tell RFK Jr. There's evidence that at least one viral vaccine (Shingles, aka chickenpox) reduces the incidence of dementia.
Seriously, everyone tell #RFKJr. Repeatedly. Until he pays attention.
This man is an American hero.
‘He’ll have to confront his maker for those lies’: FDA’s vaccine chief who resigned slams RFK Jr.
CNN's Erin Burnett talks with Dr. Peter Marks, the former head of vaccines for the FDA, who says he was pushed out for not agreeing to spread misinformation about vaccines.
"The number one lesson that Donald Trump took from the pandemic on his watch is that it was bad for him politically. For him, utter ignorance was preferable to public information panic and preparedness. Kennedy is the mad bad tool implementing that lesson now in his powerful position running the nation's health agencies right into the ground."
