Kennedy meets with parents of second child to die of measles in Texas outbreak
Robert F. Kennedy met on Sunday, April 6, with the parents of an 8-year-old girl with measles who died in Texas, the second child to die from the infectious disease in recent weeks, the US Secretary for Health and Human Services said in a post on his X account.
Kennedy, who has been labeled a vaccine skeptic and expressed concerns about the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine during an exclusive interview with Reuters in 2024, also wrote, "The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine."
Kennedy has been criticized for making false medical claims, including that vaccines are linked to autism. He opposed state and federal restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic and was accused of spreading misinformation about the virus.

00:00And the problem with the measles vaccine is that it's a leaky vaccine.
00:13It doesn't provide sterilizing immunity, which means for a large percentage of the
00:19people who get that vaccine, it will wane in old age.
00:24So I think within 10 years, and I may be wrong about the exact numbers, but I think ultimately
00:31about 20 to 30 percent of the people who get that vaccine, it wanes.
00:36So they're now vulnerable to measles in old age, which is not good.
