Summary
Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned senators against confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, citing Kennedy’s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign in Samoa in 2019.
Kennedy discouraged vaccinations, leading to a drop in inoculation rates and a severe measles outbreak.
The outbreak caused over 80 deaths, mostly children.
Green, a physician, called Kennedy’s actions deadly and urged bipartisan opposition to his nomination.
Rep. Kim Schrier also criticized Kennedy, stating vaccine hesitancy fueled by misinformation leads to preventable deaths.
Hey remember that time someone died of polio? No? Because vaccines are safe and effective. Evil fucking monster will burn in hell.
Dude looks and sounds like the grim reaper. Death is what he brings.
Yeah but 1000 kids could have gotten a mild fever if he didn’t! /s
