Samoan officials declined Kennedy's offer, and learned the hard way what happens when kids aren't vaccinated. What can it tell us about what Kennedy, as HHS Secretary, will do when vaccine rates fall and infectious disease spreads? Confirmation hearings are next week. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.

Also never reported: As measles spread, RFK Jr. coordinated with a local anti-vaccine activist—connecting him with a group of anti-vaxx doctors in the U.S. to treat Samoa’s sick children with unproven cures. As hospitals filled with dying children, Kennedy's group promoted vitamins over vaccines.

Samoa was on the brink of crisis. Vaccine rates had plummeted and measles was spreading globally. So Kennedy and his chief informatics officer (the data doc behind a notoriously bad study in the U.S.) went with an offer: a data system that would track the outcome of unvaxxed vs vaxxed kids.
