Debate on Measles Outbreak and Vaccines

Rfk jr.

and Dana bash of CNN just got into

a heated debate about the measles

let's talk about the measles please

because this is something that is happening

as as we speak in the u.s.

and protected children I

think that what I have talked to scientists and doctors about

this can you look can you show me

one study yes I can

that shows that I can children weren't protected

by the COVID vaccine

I can tell you that there are more good than harm to children

can you show me one study

that shows I can tell you that

when it comes to the vaccine

there have been studies that show that because of vaccine

disinformation disinformation there could have been

a hundred to two hundred thousand lives in the u.s. saved

but because people didn't get the vaccine

that's why I'm not saying that it in time

you are you are saying something that you cannot show

okay a single I am NOT saying nonsense

I am talking what somebody told you

excuse me no what studies are you talking about

you're talking about studies that actually don't exist

I want to talk about this is not productive

I am NOT here to defend all of the assertions

you can't support it

and then when I call you on there you're telling okay

do you want to talk about

you want to talk about assertions that you can't support

I'll get there in a second

let me just say for the record

that I am NOT saying that the entire way

that the kovat reaction was accurate

it was a scary time and people made mistakes

absolutely you were scaring people

why are you saying that because that was the job of CNN

okay we were trying to the leaders in this country

and then she asked him

do you take responsibility for the measles outbreak

that's going on right now the highest in 35 years

and he says no talk to me

it's actually were you reading the measles

the measles cases in the u.s. just reached a 35-year high

the second record-breaking year in a row

93% of these cases are among the unvaccinated

the outbreak has happened on your watch

and even before becoming HHS secretary

for years you have been one of the leading voices

questioning the efficacy of vaccines

do you accept some responsibility for this measles outbreak

absolutely not first of all

this is an international outbreak

so and we're doing better at handling it

than any country in the world

Wow we are not a serious country

uh-huh

the fact that he's sitting here acting like this

yelling at Dana Bash ignoring Americans dying

un-american unpatriotic and

it's the latest example of how incompetent the Trump administration really is
