A leading U.S. health official on Sunday urged people to get inoculated against the measles at a time of outbreaks across several states and as the United States is at risk of losing its measles elimination status.
“Take the vaccine, please,” said Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator whose boss has raised suspicion about the safety and importance of vaccines. “We have a solution for our problem.”
Oz, a heart surgeon, defended some recently revised federal vaccine recommendations as well as past comments from President Donald Trump and the nation’s health chief, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., about the efficacy of vaccines. From Oz, there was a clear message on the measles.
Nah. Thinning out the idiots via natural selection would be an extremely good thing for Americans right now. Please let the idiots die.
Drink raw milk, eat raw meat, and become a strong boy!
RFK: don’t take the vaccine! Oz: take the vaccine! Trump: *shits pants
“Mr president, Brad Dongnozzle from CNN, is the shitting of your pants your way of agreeing or disagreeing about the vaccine?”
“What? Wait, I shit my pants? I don’t remember doing that…” {shits pants again} “Oh, man, Putin isn’t going to be happy about this!” {shits pants once again}Kompromat is meaningless when shitting your pants on live TV while denying all evidence of your pedophilic activities still can’t take you down.
RFK: You saw it here first folks, the vaccines will make the democrats shit your pants.
Thanks Obama!
Oh, now you want us to take vaccines?
I thought the vaccines had 5G chips in them, and turned our brains to mush!
…god we live in the dumbest timeline.
Makes me want to watch idiocracy
My MAGA ex husband told our son that the vaccine had HIV in it after he already got it. Luckily our son believes in science so he was able to figure out that his dad had just gone coo coo but it’s still a pretty scary thing to tell a child
Someone on facebook was telling us the vaccine gave him aids or something like that too. I did call him on that one and even the antii vaxxers piled on him, they were saying he was just fucking with everyone, thinking it’s funny. Those people really do get some people to agree with them like your ex I guess, even as they are just fucking with people for their lulz.
I think that was just the covid vaccine (as if it matters). Re-upped my 5G signal with a booster just this weekend! Feeling connected.
The dying is all fun and games for Republicans until their data tells them that now is not a good time for another pandemic shut down.
We had the flu of 1918 then covid 19. It will not take 100 years for the next big one. The medical industrial complex has not recovered from covid yet and people panicked voted Biden.
Yes, Republicans don’t want another problem to fuck up their propaganda.
Between gutting the NIH, CDC, and leaving WHO, Americans won’t see the next pandemic coming, and when it arrives, there will be no vaccine or drug.
NIH LITERALLY saved Trump’s life when he got COVID and he turned around and shut them down.
Imagine if the virus had a 10 percent death rate, it would be civilization ending given the attitudes of the ruling class that would protect themselves and sacrifice workers.
Yes, Republicans don’t want another problem to fuck up their propaganda.
A problem they themselves keep causing.
The measles vaccine has always been recommended and on the schedule…
The head of HHS, RFK Jr, famously killed a bunch of people in Samoa by lobbying against the measles vaccine. And Oz himself has anti-vaccine stances toward a number of other vaccines. Seems like consistent messaging may be helpful here.
The worst part is, RFK is cynically playing people, this is part of his personna, his public image, while he personally takes vaccines, his kids will have taken the vaccines. He’s playing everyone.
He took a $200,000 consultancy from an antivax organization. There is no ideology, just cash.
That is what I’m saying even though I didn’t know that detail. He’s just playing a part for his own benefit, he’s a nihlist in the same vein as our other leaders, they believe in nothing, only personal advancement. Money is the end itself, money is how you “win.”
Meanwhile the truly great see money as a means to an end. Ends being things they actually believe in for reasons other than personal aggrandizement.
Care to explain the cause of all the measles outbreaks in South Carolina, Utah, Arizona, Florida, and Washington?
People are refusing to vaccinate their kids
why are you making other people find information for you, the Internet’s right in front of you bro
Like how they’re suddenly like, maybe don’t drink the raw milk we’ve been promoting recklessly.
Nice try government, but this free thinker isn’t fooled so easily.
The guy is still a doctor. His showed devolved quickly because there’s only so many ways to provide content for 5 days a week, but there has to be SOME part of him that knows the science and believes it.
I’m picturing that guy sweating over two red buttons. One says “Grifter” the other says “Doctor”.
I remember when former GOP Senate Majority Leader, and heart surgeon, Bill Frist went on Bill Maher sometime around the late 2000s, or early 2010s, and they were discussing vaccines.
Bill Maher, being the shithead that he is, was voicing his vaccine skepticism even then.
Bill Frist, whom I’m loathe to give praise to, turned away from Maher, looked directly in the camera and said that vaccines were safe and encouraged everyone to get vaccinated.
Shit like that gets you labeled a Communist in today’s GOP.
He’s a grifter more than anything else and will do whatever he believes serves his own interests, and only his own interests.
Let’s just say he’s seeing where the sails are blowing
Unfortunately that small part is currently tasked with creating a cure for Lycanthropy based on RFK’s blood.
People can compartmentalize. He can be completely all over the science and believe it factually as part of medicine while also believing that spouting nonsense that is unscientific is valid if he says so, as he’s a doctor. His self interest can override his knowledge, in particular if it feeds his ego, as being a celebrity doctor would.
All doctors and scientists simplify their messaging when dealing with non scientists as a means to help them understand concepts they don’t have a grounding in. That simplification is often factually incorrect. It’s a slippery slope.
Particularly in this modern world. Our brains in general seek order and certainty, but almost everything is on a spectrum. So when scientist talk in facts and absolutes, it’s easy to negate their message with edge cases or precise sticking points that they are ignoring for simplicity. Take vaccines. They have known side effects. They are deemed safe. People can still die. Cars and planes are likewise deemed safe.
Regular reminder that if you were born before 1989 you probably only got 1 measles vaccine, as was recommended at the time, and no booster. The booster bumps effectiveness up from 93% to 97%. You can ask your doctor to test your antibodies for measles immunity to see if you need it, or ask to just go ahead with the booster if you know you didn’t get it.
I’m grateful that, when she was pregnant, my sister-in-law insisted that anyone who planned to interact with her kids got the MMR booster beforehand. I have no idea when my last booster was before that, but with all this shit going down I can feel comfortable knowing I was boosted within the last decade.
There’s also no harm in getting the vaccine again if you’re not sure whether you had it before (but did).
In the US:
- If you were born before 1957, you’re presumed immune to measles.
- If you were vaccinated before 1967, you should get a booster [the original vaccine wasn’t as effective as the later vaccine].
- If you were vaccinated between 1967 and 1989, you should consider a booster shot [they thought you only needed one shot, but you actually need two].
- If you were vaccinated after 1989, you are presumed immune.
Losing voters?
That’ll learn ‘em…. I’m sure the willfully ignorant pieces of shit will definitely start falling in line.
…at the morgue 💀

I haven’t seen that shit in years and it immediately came rushing back on seeing that name.

I think I saw that when it first came out at Spike and Mike sick and twisted Festival of animation like almost 20 years ago

Ok, OK, I put him on the list.
Hell yeah Dr Enuf!
The fact that this clown is a “Top US Health Official” is a great indication of an empire in decline.
