Dems try to corner RFK Jr. on Measles outbreak

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

You'd think they'd do their own research in order to be prepared for potential answers.

Sen. Ron Wyden runs straight into a wall of inconvenient data as he tries to blame the measles outbreak on RFK Jr.

WYDEN: “We are seeing with measles… a problem all over the country… Why would you be doing something that is so awful for kids on this vaccine issue?”

KENNEDY: “Senator, we handled the measles outbreak better than any country in the world. This is a global outbreak.”

“Mexico has 3x the amount of measles… Canada 2x… Europe [almost 20x].”

“I had nothing to do with the measles outbreak here.”

“The vaccination levels dropped during COVID because people stopped trusting the American government.”

RFK Jr. just showed America that Sen. Warnock (D-GA) is an absolute DOPE

WARNOCK: You made cuts to the rabies office!

RFK JR: “There’s 1-3 rabies cases PER YEAR in the US! I think ONE PERSON manning that office can handle that traffic!”

Somehow, Dem Congress Critters still have not noticed that Trump officials come prepared and loaded for bear (or, as appropriate for Congress Critters, for bore).

The uptick in measles is directly related to letting unvetted illegal immigrants into the country.

Wyden wouldn't go there, and RFK Jr. responded to the question Wyden asked.

BTW, the most recent (2014, IIRC) measles outbreak, in MouseLand, was due to a tourist who was infectious but apparently asymptomatic while visiting the Mouse.
