"Lara Anton, spokesperson for state health dept, said her office refused the shipment from HHS 'because healthcare providers have not requested it from us.' Kennedy also said that he believes budesonide, clarithromycin, or cod-liver oil can treat measles, but the health department apparently doesn’t want those either."

"RFK Jr. told Fox earlier this month that he was delivering vitamin A to measles-stricken communities in West Texas immediately. But a Texas health official told The Atlantic that no doses of vitamin A ever arrived at the state health department—not because RFK Jr. broke his promise, but because Texas doctors didn’t want them."

The New York Times · For Some Measles Patients, Vitamin A Remedy Supported by RFK Jr. Leaves Them More IllBy Teddy Rosenbluth

While Chump is anything but loving the idea of engineers and the use of scientific ruling the state, his overlord Melon Husk's grandfather was in charge of the Canadian chapter of technocracy. The map has some parallels, although I'm sure the idea of bringing a lot of brown people as a state into the US empire isn't going to fly well there.

"Kennedy is a quack, and a dangerous one. These ideas are only the tip of the iceberg. Regardless of what he says for public consumption, he is an anti-vaxxer. So are his 'experts.' They ignore the reality that any vaccine can only be effective with mass administration. Voluntary vaccination won’t cut it. He knows that.

This perversion of science will cost many thousands of lives, perhaps more."

America’s Fractured Politics · RFK Jr’s Insane InterviewBy Mark Mansour
Continued thread

"He cheered on questionable treatments like cod liver oil, and said that local doctors had achieved 'almost miraculous and instantaneous' recoveries with steroids or antibiotics."

Note that shifting blame for contracting measles to lack of good diet and exercise blames victims in a particularly nasty way that makes invidious insinuations about social class and income. RFKJr. and his kind are models of good health?

"[RFKJr] issued a muffled call for vaccinations in the affected community, but said the choice was a personal one. He suggested that measles vaccine injuries were more common than known, contrary to extensive research. He asserted that natural immunity to measles, gained through infection, somehow also protected against cancer and heart disease, a claim not supported by research."

The New York Times · Kennedy Links Measles Outbreak to Poor Diet and Health, Citing Fringe TheoriesBy Teddy Rosenbluth

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., independent challenger for president and anti-vaccine activist, now confirmed secretary of the dept of Health and Human Services (HHS), has a cockamamie solution for drug addicts and people who use medication for depression or ADHD: strip people of their tech gadgets and send them to government-funded "wellness farms" to grow organic food. | You know, kinda like labor camps. This kind of simplistic thinking of course ignores the millions of ‘coping’ folks who go to work daily, support themselves and often families, but depend on their meds for #Depression or #ADHD. So myopic. #PublicHeath #HHS #RFKjr #psychiatry #psychology #neurodivergent #quackery

Futurism · RFK Jr. Says He’ll Send People Taking Adderall to Labor CampsBy Sharon Adarlo

@Dianora Is there a way to get the iron lung inside the body? Like an injection or something like that?

And maybe there's a disinfectant that goes along with the iron lung, perhaps giving it a cleaning when needed?

And then the iron lung could create the ultraviolet light that need to be in the body, killing the virus when it's inside the body. Perhaps you can look into that too?
