    Here’s all the scientific, medical evidence backing up this grim creeper’s claim, and all the doctors that think the head of the HHS helping pandemics spread and people die so idiots can run more grift, the thing MAGAs blamed the last guy with 0 evidence for but RFKid Kller is actually doing, is a good thing:

    Let’s see how things are going in a place he was able to convince a bunch of people to believe his lies in Samoa:

    • In December 2019, volunteers in Rotura, New Zealand prepared dozens of child-sized caskets to send to Samoa to help deal with the loss of so many infants and toddlers.
    • A compulsory mass vaccination campaign brought rates back up to 95 percent and the government introduced a new law in December 2019 requiring all children to be fully immunised before starting primary school. The door-to-door vaccination campaign is credited with bringing the months-long tragedy to a close.

    2020

    • By January 22, 2020, 5,707 measles cases and 83 measles-related deaths were reported. 87 percent of the reported deaths were children younger than 5 years.

    Can parents still get shots for thier child though? Ask thier doctor what shots they should have and just get them anyways?

      If their nearby medical facilities haven’t closed because of the Medicare cuts they can purchase off schedule vaccines from their for profit insurance at a premium if they can afford it, but kids & folks with immune problems or reasons why they can’t directly take the vaccines will be way more likely to suffer and die when the herd immunity is broken and they let a bunch of unvaccinated kids into public schools and daycare facilities.

      I certainly hope so. That said, an individual being vaccinated doesn’t help nearly as much as having a large part of the population vaccinated.

    Innocent people will get sick and die, and masses of people will be too stupid and uninformed to connect the dots.
