America Records Its 8th Measles Death Of The Year In Wisconsin
The national embarrassment that is America’s measles problem continues to have devastating effects. While the federal government generally, and RFK Jr. specifically, blissfully ignores the thousands getting sick from a disease that was declared eradicated more than two decades ago, it all continues to get worse and worse. We have the tools at our disposal...

7th Measles Death Of The Year Recorded In New York State
It’s very gross for this to be any sort of “I told you so” opening to this post, but the measles outbreak in America continues to get worse, as predicted. While last years case counts and deaths from the disease, which had been vaccinated to the point of eradication back in 2000, were a record-breaking...

American Measles Cases Have More Than Doubled Last Year’s Record Totals
As I continue to say, you may be done with the measles, but the measles is not done with you, nor the entire country. Coinciding with the profane installment of RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, 2025 saw the largest number of cases of measles in America in 3 decades. After decades...

Study: America’s Measles Problem Is Domestic, Not RFK Jr.’s Dirty Foreigners
To state that RFK Jr. says things that are just plainly wrong is to state the obvious. His waffling claims about the dangers of vaccines are wrong. His various other pet conspiracy theories, such as chemtrails and damage to humans from EMF, are also wrong. The data HHS is putting out under his leadership about...

Police In Guinea-Bissau Raid Offices Of Danish Anti-Vaxxers Planning CDC-Funded Unethical Study
In all of our coverage of the disastrous tenure RFK Jr. has had as Secretary of HHS, we have not yet discussed a bonkers study the CDC planned to fund in Guinea-Bissau. This hepatitis B “vaccine trial” was supposed to already have been kicked off, but it has been suspended since January instead because of...

In 1991, Federal Panel Blasts Vaccine Unavailability That Led To A Measles Epidemic
The apocryphal quote supposedly from Mark Twain is one of my favorites: "History does not repeat, but it does often rhyme." Now, there is no evidence that Twain ever actually authored these words, but it's incredible how true they tend to be regardless. And when it comes to the current measles outbreak that is ravaging...

New York Declares State Of Emergency As Measles Cases Spread Fast
It's becoming very apparent that we failed to learn a key lesson from the COVID-19 pandemic: infectious diseases aren't partisan; they will come for us all. While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. play their little partisan games over the measles outbreak, the disease is spreading. Spinning conspiracy theories, falsely claiming that the government has it...

A 5th Person In PA Has Suffered A Measles-Related Death
The measles outbreaks in America, and specifically in Pennsylvania, are getting worse instead of getting better. And, while RFK Jr. has and will continue to attempt to lay blame for this total failure of federal leadership at the feet of state officials, anyone with a few brain cells to rub together knows that's bullshit. While...

CDC Opens Up COVID Vaccine Procurement Without Explanation
Among the many promises that RFK Jr. offered in his confirmation hearings, promises that he has gone about breaking in spectacular fashion, one was a promise of "radical transparency". His approach, in his own words, was laid out directly to Congress. My approach to administration HHS will be transparency. If members of this committee or...

CDC Finally Gets Around To Acknowledging Half Of The Measles Fatalities We Know Exist
While the game-playing that RFK Jr.'s CDC has conducted is ongoing, they can only keep up the charade for so long. The nation is undergoing the worst outbreak of measles in over three decades, with Pennsylvania currently the hardest hit of all the states. As we've discussed, there have now been four measles-related deaths in...

Promises Made, Promises Broken: RFK Jr. Keeps COVID Vaccines From Children
The velocity with which RFK Jr. continues to break the promises he made during his confirmation hearings is simply incredible. As we get further and further away from those hearings, which amazingly occurred only 21 months ago, we may lose sight of the assurances Kennedy gave directly to Congress about his plans if appointed to...

Teen Sadness And Suicidal Thoughts Keep Falling, Even As Kids Keep Scrolling
Over the last few years, it has become accepted knowledge that the internet — mainly social media and, lately, AI tools — was damaging the mental health of kids and increasing the suicide rate among that demographic. To hear the media and politicians talk about it, this was the biggest issue on the planet and...

RFK Jr. Assclown Jambaroo: Anti-Vaxxer Bullshit, A New Panel Of Misfits, EMFs, & Chemtrails, Oh My!
Well, as we previously discussed was going to occur, RFK Jr. gave his keynote speech and appearance at the Children's Health Defense conference of anti-vaxxer conspiracy-mongers, and he was certainly firmly on brand. In fact, he did so much to make news during and around this appearance that we're going to have to break this...

4th Measles Death In PA & All The Federal Govt. Can Do Is Disrespect The Dead By Ignoring Them
As Pennsylvania continues to endure the worst of the current measles outbreaks ravaging the country, a fourth measles-associated death has now been confirmed. As of the time of this writing, the CDC's public website tracking case counts and deaths has still not acknowledged a single one of these fatalities, reportedly at the direction of RFK...

Adult Woman Dies From Measles Complications In Pennsylvania
Despite RFK Jr.'s assurances that he's absolutely killing it combating this pesky measles thing that resurfaced after decades under his leadership, the only thing that is being killed are American citizens who contract measles. While we first eclipsed the measles case count of 2025 in mid-summer of 2026, there has also been no slowdown of...

1 Of 2 Children Dead In PA Confirmed To Be From Measles
I want to start this whole thing off with a disclaimer. Nothing in this post should be misconstrued as gloating, as being pleased, or as having a connotation that is anything beyond sadness and the need for change. Nobody is happy to have the obvious confirmed when it comes to a child's death. There is...

Reporting Indicates RFK Jr. Directly Intervened To Keep PA Deaths Off CDC Measles Report
The measles outbreak, that began in America nearly two years ago, has only increased in velocity. We recently talked about the deaths of two children in Pennsylvania who both died while infected with measles. I'm altering my language slightly here from that original post in which I described those children as having died of measles...

Even As Disease Outbreaks Abound, American Vaccination Rates In Children Fall
The past 18 months have seen a significant number of health issues, perhaps crises, arise in America. Measles, cyclosporiasis, whooping cough, and more have all been in the news. RFK Jr. is either stroking his pet conspiracy theories alongside Trump, or else he's completely out to lunch. In the meantime, Kennedy is also continuing to...

Erica Schwartz Confirmed As CDC Director Right After She Ruined Her Reputation
When Erica Schwartz was first nominated for Director of the CDC, you could almost hear both a gasp of surprise and a collective sigh of relief from healthcare providers throughout the country. Schwartz is well qualified for the role, after all, and many took her nomination as a sign that the White House was attempting...

Budget Cuts, Apathy Lead To Trump Administration Being Slow Acknowledging Two Cyclosporiasis Deaths
A couple of weeks ago we discussed how the cuts made to HHS and specifically the CDC's FoodNet tracking platform were making it much harder to track and back trace the source of the country's current cyclosporiasis outbreak. You'll have heard about this outbreak in the news by now. It's the one where you begin...
