RFK JR has OF COURse saying it isnt neccesary to vax against measles, he did only partially backtrack that by only adminstering 2000doses lol. remember RFK JR is the one that resulted in 86 children deaths in samoa.

What happened in Samoa? I assume RFK is that american health secretary that looks like he's a demon in a human suit?

He went to Samoa and started demonizing the MMR vaccine to the point where a bunch of the island stopped vaccinating their kids.

Then they had a measles outbreak. 86 kids died from it. RFK Jr refuses to this day to admit any fault.
