RFK Jr must resign and I believe those of us who work in healthcare, public health, health research, or any related field should demand his resignation

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

As usual, voiceless children are the ones to suffer the most. Vaccinate with 2 doses of MMR—the ONLY thing that prevents measles. And get prompt proper medical care if sick with measles (call first). TX Board of Medical Examiners, are you on this?

Either time or vaccinations will end this outbreak.
The former will involve more mortality and death than the latter.

Hawaii's governor, Josh Green, responded to the measles outbreak as a practicing physician. He's in DC this week to share his story with senators.
3.14 Action, a liberal advocacy group, also is running ads this week blasting RFK Jr and condemning how anti-vaccine rhetoric harmed Samoa.

On this day, 12/24 in 1940 Anthony Fauci was born & became a gift to us all. We will never be able to count the number of lives he has saved from AIDS to COVID with his tenacity, intellect & compassion. Nor will we be able to thank him properly for what he & his family have given us all. HBD Tony!🎁
