Measles. Since 2020 (when there were fewer than 15 cases of measles in the US), measles has risen by over 14,000 percent. As of this week there are over 19,000 cases this year. People have died. Others will be left with life-changing effects. Let me remind you: measles can cause lifelong brain damage, deafness, infertility, even death. It also erases a person's prior immunity to other diseases. And it is one of the most infectious diseases, vastly more infectious than Covid. The US had been on the cusp of being measles-free. No more. I am outraged that one of the richest nations on earth has poorer health and longevity statistics than many nations that spend far less on health. Congress: you own this measles epidemic: you confirmed RFK Jr. Now he wants to spread his death dealing pseudo science to infants by making hepatitis B vaccine optional. That will have devastating effects, raising infant mortality and adult grave liver disease. I demand that you serve US and stop being a sycophant to Trump. Please support Haley Stevens' articles of impeachment for RFK Jr. Please use your platform to speak publicly to encourage vaccine uptake. Use all the tools at your disposal to fund and promote vaccinations for childhood diseases. Congress owns the measles epidemic. It is a stain on your record and should weigh on your conscience. The Trump-GOP-MAGA measles epidemic shows culpable contempt for human life. Yes: it is depraved heart murder. DO SOMETHING.
