(But will DaVaccine true believers examine the evidence? Unlikely - 'true beliefs' just die from old age - in other words - no longer used by newer generations because of lack of evidence for its use. In fact, newer evidence tends to grow in opposition to the old 'true beliefs'. But it takes time. - CL)
The US media is doing its best to ignore the announcement that the Trump administration will be reviewing the need for childhood vaccines under the jaundiced eye of RFK Jr:. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in an interview published on Thursday said he will be talking to Robert F Kennedy Jr, his nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services, about ending childhood vaccination ... voxday.net |
Former FDA commissioner and current Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb has said if Kennedy follows through on his intentions to end vaccine mandates “it will cost lives in this country.” He said lower vaccination rates could lead to large outbreaks of once nearly eradicated diseases like measles. “For every 1,000 cases of measles that occur in children, there will be one death. And we are not good in this country at diagnosing and treating measles,” Gottlieb told CNBC last month.
This is a blatant and easily disproven false prediction. Measles was not virtually eliminated in the West by vaccines, but by improved sewage systems. The post-1963 vaccination regime had nothing to do with the decline of measles as a dangerous childhood disease. This is easily proven by comparing the number of measles cases and deaths over time to the first introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963 and its widespread adoption in 1968.
Note that twice as many children – 800 – are killed being transported to school every year than the total number of people of all ages -380 – who died from measles in 1960, three years before the first introduction of the measles vaccine. If you genuinely want to save children’s lives, ban vaccines and mandate homeschooling.
