Kennedy sends mixed vaccine messages in the outbreak of Texas Ham
In the first examination of the Trump administration’s outbreak, Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy is sending mixed messages about the outbreak of ham spread in Texas.
The long -time vaccine skeptic, Kennedy first reduced the outbreak during the cabinet meeting last week with President Trump and said it was “not unusual” and falsely claimed that many hospitalized people were “mainly for separation”.
A child in Texas died on the same day in Ham
Two days later, Kennedy mentioned how its company reacted to the Texas Health Department at a social media post by providing MMR (Humps-Rubella) vaccine.
Kennedy writes, “The top priority that ends the outbreak of ham,” Kennedy wrote, but he did not call for people to get shots directly.
An Op-Aid, published on Fox News website on Sunday, Kennedy came a bit closer to the announcement but still stopped short.
Kennedy writes, “Vaccines not only protects from the ham of separate children, as well as contribute to the immune system of the community, protecting those who are unable to vaccinate because of treatment,” Kennedy writes.
He emphasized that the vaccine decision was a “personal”, the parents called on their physicians to talk to their physicians “to understand their options to get the MMR vaccine.”
However, public health experts are not ready to celebrate.
There is a long history of denying the Kennedy MMR vaccine. He lied and repeatedly associated it with autism rate and questioned its protection.
Anti-Vaccin Group Children’s Health Defense wrote in a key word in a 2021 book that Ham’s outbreaks “have been fabricated to create fear” to impose unnecessary and risky vaccines on millions of children. “
Wendy Permet, director of the Center for Health Policy and Law, describes Kennedy’s Opp as “Miyali-face advice” at the Northeast University School of Law.
The permit said, “This is not necessarily wrong, but it is not clear.
For example, in 2019, an outbreak of Ham nationwide has led Trump’s top health officers to warn the largest number of cases in the country as Ham was effectively eliminated in 2000.
These cases were not initially powered by the outbreak of the state of New York City and New York.
“This current outbreak is deeply worrying and I have called on patients to assure patients about the effectiveness and protection of the ham vaccine to all healthcare suppliers,” Robert Redfield, director of the Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC), said in a statement at the time.
In a separate statement of that time, then HHS Secretary Alex Azar highlighted the importance of the vaccines.
Azer’s statement said, “Vaccines are a safe, highly effective public health solution that can prevent the disease that can prevent the disease.
During this outbreak, the leaders of the anti -vaccine movement rallied in the influenced communities, questioned the safety of the shot of Ham, and the public health systems compared the banned children forbidden to torture Jews from the school.
Dell Bigtri, Top Kennedy Mitra and Anti-Vaccin Group the head of the Information Consent Action Network, even a yellow star of David at the rally to identify their children who refused to vaccinate their children.
Under Kennedy’s HHS so far the response has been much more muted.
“There has been a growing movement from the type of downplay [Kennedy’s op-ed]But it still felt a bit of half-heart in using the platform of our country’s public health agencies, to talk very clearly about what people should do to protect themselves and their families, “Jason Schwarz, an associate professor and vaccine researcher of public health.
“But I think the reaction of the past few days, especially this OP-AID, should be more reasons for the alarm for the vaccination program then the relief of the relief is to breathe,” the Schwarj added.
Kennedy’s response to a question at Trump’s first cabinet meeting was his first public recognition.
At the moment, more than 100 people were infected. Earlier in the day, state officials were publicly confirmed the death of the child.
Glenn Nok, co-director of the Health and Risk Communication Center at Georgia University, said that Kennedy had possible way to reach the suspicious conservatives of Kennedy, who was chosen to publish his “Call to Action” on Fox News.
Kennedy is trying to make a needle thread as a top 14 -year -old Nok, as a top spokesperson for the CDC. For example, the statement about the public advantage of vaccinating ham came after a paragraph of emphasizing treatment like Vitamin A for sick people.
Vitamin A has been used in developing countries in acute ham for years, but doctors say that evidence of its effectiveness has been mixed. This is not widely used in the United States, perhaps because children are not vitamin deficiencies.
Kennedy also mentioned that 98 percent of the death of Ham was erased before the introduction of MMR vaccine due to “sanitation and nutritional improvement” and emphasized that “most of the good nutrition against chronic and infectious illness remains a best defense.”
“Healthy diet and vitamins references are probably the way to maintain a kind of credibility [his allies]”Nak said. “When you are not responsible for what happens, it is much easier to be a critic of the ham vaccine. However as a health and human services secretary, if people prevent the vaccination of the ham and shows children unnecessarily, this is a problem “
The recent comments of Kennedy have also come up with extensive concern about how the Trump administration will come to the vaccine supervision as a health agency.
Within a short period of time for the Kennedy swearing, a public meeting of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel was postponed, without any information about the re -determination.
Last week, the Food and Drug Administration canceled a meeting of outside consultants to choose the flu vaccine strain.
Giving these steps and the history of Kennedy, Noki says the next steps are very important.
“Is this just one-off message? Or is it going a series of messages ahead?” Nawak said. “Because we know that if many more people are protected, we will have many more outbreaks, many more events of vaccine-resistable diseases.”
