Trump administration Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined News Nation on Wednesday where he combatted mainstream media narratives about the current measles outbreak and other medical issues.
Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo tried attacking Kennedy for not urging people to take the experimental mRNA jab during the COVID-19 pandemic while noting he has recently touted the measles shot as an option for people worried about catching or spreading the illness.
NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo asked Kennedy:

“You weren’t saying that [get vaccinated] during COVID. That’s why people aren’t getting vaccinated. And now it’s a problem. How do you deal with that issue, and what responsibility do you have in terms of how people feel about getting… pic.twitter.com/UtIw0uiIml
RFK pointed out the U.S. has done better at managing the measles epidemic than any other country in the world, explaining Canada has the same rate with one-eighth of America’s population and Europe has ten-times the number of the U.S.
He continued to say that domestic measles numbers have plateaued and the rate of growth has gone down before noting certain people, such as Mennonites in Texas “have religious objections to the vaccination because the MMR vaccine has a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles. So, they don’t want to take it.”
“So, we ought to be able to take care of those populations when they get sick, and that’s one of the things that CDC has not done. CDC says the only thing that we have is vaccination,” Kennedy said. “There’s all kinds of treatments when people do get sick and those people should be treated with compassion… We’re developing that at CDC right now, protocols for treating measles.”
Kennedy delivered a sharp, measured response. First, he pointed out that measles is a far smaller problem in the U.S. than it is globally.

Next, RFK called attention to more important health issues than measles, which have killed four Americans in the past twenty years, while there are 100,000 autism cases each year and 38% of U.S. kids are now diabetic or pre-diabetic, telling the hosts, “That should be in the headlines.”
“When I was a kid, there were 2 million measles cases a year and none of them got headlines. And we had 400 deaths. We had deaths between 1 in 1,200 and 1 in 10,000. We have so many kids now who are afflicted by chronic disease. And the media never covers them. They only want to cover measles,” he added.
The HHS secretary went on, saying America spends “almost a trillion dollars a year on diabetes and metabolic disorder,” and that there are illnesses other than measles that are “really, really damaging our country, that are existential for our country.”
“By 2035, we’re going to be spending a million dollars a year on autism. Autism in 1970 was 1 in 10,000 Americans. Today, it’s 1 in 31. In California, it’s 1 in every 20 kids—1 in every 12.5 boys,” Kennedy stated. “This is what the media ought to be focusing on, and it’s not. And because of that, we don’t have the solutions and we don’t have the cures.”
Kennedy then delivered a devastating jab at the dominant measles narrative, putting everything into perspective and leaving the panel silent.

“I want to say this,” Kennedy began.
“We’ve had four measles deaths in this country in 20 years. We have 100,000 autism cases a year. We… pic.twitter.com/c2PuNv6l2n
