Looking at the #evidence

Without widespread vaccination, many diseases that are now rare thanks to #vaccines, could return

Widespread #vaccination has helped to eradicate smallpox & to keep #Europe polio-free

Each year, vaccination prevents an estimated 2.7 million people from getting #measles, 1 million from getting #pertussis & protects 2 million babies from #tetanus

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.
RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims
Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

It’s such a busy time of year for everyone, but here’s another important “to-do” for your list.

👩🏻‍⚕️Check in with your doctor & make sure your child had all their recommended vaccinations.

It’s especially important for kids starting school & who may have missed out due to COVID.
