"We've advocated for measles vaccines all along. Secretary Kennedy has been at the very front of this -"
"When the first outbreak happened in Texas, he said get your vaccines for measles because that's an example of an ailment that you should get vaccinated against."
"Take the vaccine, please," Oz said. "We have a solution for our problem. Not all illnesses are equally dangerous and not all people are equally susceptible to illnesses."
"despite the media's fear tactics, there's no reason to fear measles."
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pruned the childhood vaccine schedule and faces a lawsuit from the American Academy of Pediatrics over changes to national guidelines. Childhood vaccination rates fell nationwide, contributing to record measles outbreaks in 2025, including 800 cases in South Carolina. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz urged people to take the measles vaccine and said vaccines offer a solution, noting varying illness risks and susceptibility. Oz said the administration has advocated measles vaccination and referenced prior calls to get vaccinated during a Texas outbreak. An anti-vaccine social post claimed there is no reason to fear measles.
