Antivaxxer RFKjr @HHSGov: Hazardous to your health (measles outbreak edition)

 
Headline:  New York Times, 3/3/2025 (highlight added)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, was widely criticized as minimizing the measles outbreak in West Texas at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. In a social media post on Friday, he took a new tack, saying that the outbreak was a “top priority” for his department, Health and Human Services. 
He noted various ways in which the department is aiding Texas, among them by funding the state’s immunization program and updating advice that doctors give children vitamin A. 
But on neither occasion did Mr. Kennedy himself advise Americans to make sure their children got the shots. On Sunday night, he edged closer in an opinion piece for Fox News. [emphasis added]
