• Measles estimated case-fatality rate: 1.3%
• Estimated US population: 346,715,067
• Measles deaths if everyone in the US got measles: 4,507,295
• Upper limit on estimated MMR vaccine caused anaphylaxis: 0.000066%
• Anaphylaxis case-fatality rate: 0.3%
• Estimated vaccine-caused fatality rate: 1.98 * 10^-7 %
• Estimate vaccine-caused fatalities avoided by not vaccinating US population: 0.69
• Net increase in fatalities from switching to measles natural immunity for everyone in the US: 4,507,294

So it would only be better if he wants an extra 4.5 million Americans to die.

Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

rfk is a terrorist who wants to use biological weapons.

When measles propaganda from our lizard overlords at "Daily Beast" masks mass-culling programs, trust only medieval-era natural immunity. The only good vaccine is no vaccine.

United States Secretary of Health and Human Services here everybody.

We did that, we gave everyone a very mild, usually symptomless, case of the measles. We called it vaccination.

We are in such a crazy timeline.

This is the kind of shit you'd see on some forum. If the forum was moderated, they'd eventually get booted.

When I was debating fucking morons like this, I never suspected that one of these assholes would be put in charge of our fucking health. It's just so insane.

Dumb son of a bitch doesn’t even understand that a vaccine is “giving someone the disease” without killing them. God damn are we devolving that fast?

What a stupid motherfucker. Anyone who voted for these venal clowns ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I think RFK is the Horseman of Plague. Guess the role of Famine goes to Musk, and War belongs to Trump. I am not yet sure who is Death, but they will reveal themselves soon enough.

dont you mean worms, if everyone can get worms he can control them telepathically like a hive mind.

I wonder if widescale immunity reset could lead to a resurgence of something like polio which we've almost eradicated.

How to kill a lot of children.

Not supporting this dude, but I watched the whole video and he never once said it would be better if everyone got measles. Maybe I missed it; if so, please correct me. He mentioned a waning effect with the vaccine vs full-blown infection, which I highly doubt is accurate (I'll research it later), but that's a massive stretch to get to the headline. He even recommended vaccines and said they will be available for free to anyone that needs them. I've gotten a little lazy in fact checking left leaning stuff because I always felt it was a little more trustworthy. I'm just starting to wonder how much I've been blindly accepting because it conforms to my biases.

His brain worm has measles.

Remember the conspiracy theorists who though "the government" was using Covid-19 to cull the population? I wonder what they're up to right now.

I fucking can't with the news anymore. Holy shit.

Measles also resets your immune system for every other thing your body already learned to deal with. No, it would not be fucking better.

“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Wouldn't it be great if there was something else that gave you protection against measles infection, without you actually having to have measles? If only ...

Yes, the old strategy of overwhelming the hospital system with mouth breathers.

Amazing strategy, Raisinhead.

Uhhhhhh doesn’t measles reset your immune system or something like that?

Goodness, this guy is a fucking charlatan. Perfect man for the current administration.

Fuck this assclown, my wife is allergic to the measles vaccination and will likely die if she gets the disease.

And polio too, right.

Conspiracy theorists for the last few decades: "The government is trying to murder us!"

The actual government in 2025: "Yes, we would like it if a grand majority of you were to die"

Conspiracy theorists: crickets

As a bonus for contracting measles, you'll get all your previous vaccines and earned immunities deleted by the measles virus attacking your immune cells dedicated to remembering how to effectively fight past pathogens.

So you can think of measles as THE antivaccine. No wonder the antivaxxers love it so much!

My father had measles when he was a little boy, sometime in the 1940s. It nearly killed him. Measles is no joke. Anyone trying to spread it around on purpose should get a bullet in the brain before they have a chance to harm others.

You first fuckface

Measles is capable of resetting the immune system's memory of other vaccines. This sack of shit is so incredibly dangerous.

Well, he is stupid enough not to understand that this would kill a) kids and b) his own base.

"A bunch of kids should die in pain so many more may live in fear."

If only there was some way we could train our immune systems to fight off Measles without having to actually infect ourselves with it. That way an immediate immune response could keep the disease from ever taking root to begin with! I blame those fucking scientists for not thinking of this already, they're probably too busy making fake climate change scare articles. ^/s

Luckily most people have sane parents so they can't get measles

The only way to stop a bad guy with measles is a good guy with measles, I guess.

The best defense against measles is to not have Republican parents.

It can be better if only Republicans got measles. They're the ones that like them right? Why don't they all get them?

I get it. By giving everyone a measles infection, their immune system will be trained on the pathogen, and learn how to fight it in the future so you don't get infected again. That's a brilliant idea, but maybe we can play it safe by giving them just a little bit of measles so they don't have to deal with the associated risks?

What if we were to somehow make the virus inert first, and then give it to everyone? Maybe he's onto something there...

Oh wait that's a vaccine

The only correct answer to RFK saying that is: "No it wouldn't."

There is zero scientific evidence that supports his claim. Him saying this is about akin to someone saying that we should build only brick houses because the sky hates the color red which is why it is blue. It makes no sense and so does his argument. But that's to be expected from someone who quite literally has zero formal training in medicine.

Measles is the mot infections virus we know of. If not for the vaccine, we would all get infected. I guess that's what he means.

That's exactly how a vaccine works you dummy it just uses an inert version of the virus that isn't as dangerous.

Looks like it is really hard for onion to make a parody: https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-vows-to-make-measles-deaths-so-common-they-wont-be-upsetting-anymore/

Edit: and you know what's crazy? He is advocating that everyone should get measles, because when he was young that was normal.

His voice is caused by disease called spasmodic dysphonia, which is also linked to childhood measles or mumps:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasmodic_dysphonia#Cause

Damn, I wonder why people went out of their way to get a vaccine. 🤔

Thank you so much America and RFK. Vaccines have become contested as scientific fact, and the only way to truly show the world the truth, is to rip away vaccines from a country that has them, and count the dead before and after. Your willingness to sacrifice potentially thousands of American lives to prove your opponents' point, is almost Christ-like in its self-sacrificial nature, and Trump-like in its mythical level of stupidity and disregard for the value of human life. The rest of the world thanks you for ridding our countries of any traction vaccine skeptics might ever have had. We thank you for your service.

Him first. Let him try polio too.

He horseshoe theory-ed himself back to vaccination.

Important Reminder

August 24, 2018

All across the world every major news site covered this story in August 2018. Even Fox News covered it.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45294192

Next he suggested that we'll end gun violence by shooting everybody.

That brain worm will be the death of all of us. WTF?!

are they killing the population in order to kill democracy? or killing democracy in order to kill the population..

Thanks to this moron, that's exactly what's going to happen.

Such a great idea. Everyone should get the plague and polo as well. This man is a genius.

RFK Jr: "It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine doesn't do that ... it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk. Women who get vaccinated do not provide that level of immunity."

I’m convinced the goal of this administration is to kill as many Americans as possible. They’re a fucking death cult.

"It would be better if everybody got Polio Types 1, 2 & 3."

--RFK Jr., probably

Go on, then.

I hope he gets it then. He's already like a walking corpse...

Fuck RFK and his shenanigans, but this article is tabloid clickbait.

They are exaggerating for clicks.

This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers constituents.
