Anti-vaxxer RFK Jr said there was nothing to worry about the measles outbreaks in the US right now and was schooled into the sun

This claim by RFK Jr is inaccurate. The last death on account of measles was in 2003, 23 years ago as per CDC data.
It was declared COMPLETELY eliminated from US in 2000. https://t.co/tcrPLQ2zCx pic.twitter.com/hQNbTiFIU5

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has sown doubt in science and perpetuated vaccine conspiracies. Mere weeks after he was confirmed as HHS Secretary, we have our first measles death in the U.S. in over a decade. https://t.co/tzsrCP8q3B

This is a complete sack of lies. Trump has surrounded himself with the dumbest people in the country on purpose.

RFKrank has only been in the Trump cabinet a week, but he’s already mastered the insane level of lying and gaslighting needed to succeed. There hasn’t been a measles death in a decade, and we don’t have outbreaks every year – because of vaccines. https://t.co/EtF7vc3t9w

This is a dangerous lie.
We just had the first child die from measles in a decade in one unvaccinated community where there are over 100 cases.

Reassuring to be told that measles is normal by a man who sounds like he’s actively dying https://t.co/fUChdOYLHl

They voted for their children to die.

There was also a community note – the only thing that’s got better about Twitter since Elon Musk bought it – except, you’ll never guess (you will) this happened …
watched the community note disappear from this in real time, we are immensely cooked lol https://t.co/W5VJlYGasU

For shame.
Please vaccinate your kids, please vaccinate yourself if you aren’t. No one should be dying from diseases that we could prevent almost entirely through immunisation. https://t.co/mSjaAafOMU

To conclude …
RFK Jr’s response to a child dying of measles in Texas (the first such death in 10 years): “It’s not unusual.”
Howling at the moon, bat shit crazy, lunacy
