'Children in this country are in the most dangerous position ever': Doctor issues warning
Dr. Susan Monarez was forced out of President Donald Trump’s administration after she refused to endorse purported junk science promoted by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his allies. Several other top experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and at HHS also resigned in protest, similarly refusing to approve the allegedly false medical information.
This exodus of experts at the nation’s top public health agencies is putting U.S. children at risk for the return of once-eradicated diseases. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health reports that measles cases have reached their highest levels since the disease was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000.
Dr. Paul Offit, Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told MSNBC that completely healthy young children have died due to the resurgence of measles in the past 33 years.
"For the first child deaths in this country since 2003, that's more than 20 years ago. And what has Robert F. Kennedy Jr. done about that? He's gone on national television and said falsely [that the] measles vaccine kills people. Measles vaccine causes blindness and deafness, and measles — that natural measles — can prevent cancer and heart disease and autoimmune disease, which is just completely wrong."
Meanwhile, Kennedy is asserting there are “deep problems in the CDC,” sowing further public confusion.
"See, the problem is, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. believes that by choosing vaccination in this country, we have merely replaced infectious diseases with chronic diseases. He says that over and over again," explained Dr. Offit. "He thinks that no vaccine is safe and effective. He thinks that the covid vaccine is the deadliest vaccine ever made. So, it's not surprising that he would be upset that the CDC lists vaccines as one of our greatest public health achievements, even though it is."
Dr. Offit called Kennedy "a frightening man" for giving such junk science legitimacy.
"And I feel like for the first time, really with him as head of Health and Human Services, that children in this country are in the most dangerous position they ever have been," he warned.
