Oh my god, RKF Jr.’s nonprofit is directly funding this measles outbreak! Literally paying for free quack prophylaxis to lure people without measles to stand in line next to people with actively and highly contagious infections www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/h... (🎁 🔗)
The physician, Dr. Ben Edwards, is well known in the area for producing podcasts that often discuss the dangers of vaccines, and for his wellness clinic in Lubbock, which rejects central tenets of medicine, like the idea that germs cause certain diseases. In an interview with Fox News, Mr. Kennedy said he had spoken with Dr. Edwards (whom he mistakenly called Dr. Ed Benjamin) and learned "what is working on the ground." In the following days, hundreds of people from the Mennonite community lined up at Dr. Edwards's makeshift clinic, held behind a local health food store, said Tina Siemens, who helped organize the event. Mrs. Siemens said people seeking treatment for active measles infections and those who hoped to prevent one were in attendance. To get enough supplements for the clinic, Dr. Edwards had enlisted one of his patients, a pilot, to fly to Scottsdale, Ariz., and pick up nearly a thousand bottles of vitamin C supplements and cod liver oil, both as a lemon-flavored drink and unflavored soft gels, said an owner of the supplement company, Patrick Sullivan. "How much do you have in stock, and how quickly could you get it to me?" Mr. Sullivan recalled Dr. Edwards asking. The treatments were free, Mrs. Siemens said. Members of Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine nonprofit that Mr. Kennedy helped found before becoming health secretary, created a donation page online that has raised more than $16,000 to help cover the cost of "essential vitamins, supplements and medicines."
