RFK Jr. Blames COVID Lockdowns and the ‘Dramatic Diminishment of Public Faith’ in Health Agencies for the Measles Outbreak

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY JR.: "I mean, I have a couple of comments on that. One is that we're trying to get information about those two casualties. According to a statement that was released by the Lancaster County commissioner today, they cannot find any measles that's in Lancaster County. And they complained that the governor will not give them that information. CDC tried to get that information from the governor yesterday and the state is refusing to cooperate. We’re doing a better job than any country in the world at controlling the measles outbreak. This is a worldwide epidemic and it’s happening because of the lockdowns, because many kids did not get vaccinated during the lockdowns. Then you add a dramatic diminishment of public faith in the regulatory agencies during the Covid period because of government overreach and because of the gaslighting and the manipulation. So -- and even in my discussion with Governor Shapiro yesterday, and he said to me, 'Well, we’ve seen this big drop in vaccination rates in the state from 97 to 92.3,' he admitted on the phone that it all happened during the Biden Administration. Since I’ve been in office, since President Trump’s been in office, there’s been a one tenth of one percent diminishment. We are actually restoring faith in the public health agencies. So, people will take our advice, and our advice is that people should get the measles vaccination.”
