The New York Post editorial board has called on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to affirm the safety of vaccines as Texas faces a measles outbreak, with a recent death marking the first U.S. measles fatality since 2015. The board indicates that RFK Jr.'s past anti-vaccine rhetoric is at odds with the vaccination of his own children. They propose he visit Texas to publicly advocate for the measles vaccine, arguing that such action would help persuade hesitant communities and potentially save lives, thereby demonstrating his commitment to public health.
In seeking Senate approval to take his new job, Health Secretary Robert Kennedy insisted he'd come around on the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
The NYP editorial board challenges him to travel to Texas and communicate to rural communities that the measles vaccine is safe, emphasizing the importance of vaccination.
The editorial board also highlighted the irony that, despite his anti-vaccine stance, all of Kennedy's own children are vaccinated.
Ultimately, the board asserted that his public endorsement of the vaccine could make a significant difference, potentially saving lives.
