„Vaccinurile nu doar că-i protejează pe copii de rujeolă, ci contribuie și la imunitatea comunității, protejându-i pe cei care nu pot fi vaccinați din motive medicale”, a scris responsabilul cu Sănătatea din administrația lui Donald…
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and a skeptic of vaccination, has urged Americans to get vaccinated amid a measles outbreak in Texas. He highlighted the importance of vaccines in protecting both individuals and communities, particularly those unable to receive vaccines for medical reasons. However, he emphasized that vaccination remains a personal choice.
The measles outbreak in Texas has seen at least 146 cases, including a fatal case, with declining vaccination rates contributing to the spread. The situation has been exacerbated by exemptions, especially in areas with large Mennonite communities, who often avoid vaccines.
Kennedy's past actions, including his role in Samoa's 2018 measles crisis, where his anti-vaccine rhetoric led to lower vaccination rates and a subsequent epidemic, have drawn criticism. He denies responsibility for the outcomes.
