When masked men carrying automatic weapons won’t identify themselves or offer a warrant then take someone from his Great Barrington apartment in broad daylight, it is hard to know what is legal these days. So I wonder, if a government official enacts policies that result in the deaths of Americans, has he killed them? I don’t really know, but let’s assume he has.
I had just begun working on this column when I read that Judge Beryl Howell had issued his 102-page opinion in Perkins Coie LLP v. Department of Justice, a case challenging Donald Trump’s attempt to destroy a law firm he had come to hate.
I was quite proud that I had enlisted the aid of William Shakespeare when I discovered Howell had had the same idea and had done it better. Justice that he is, Howell brings the law not just the lawyers into it. Howell writes:
No American President has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue in this lawsuit targeting a prominent law firm with adverse actions to be executed by all Executive branch agencies but, in purpose and effect, this action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: ‘The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.’ WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, HENRY VI, PART 2, act 4, sc. 2, l. 75.
When Shakespeare’s character, a rebel leader intent on becoming king, see id. l. 74, hears this suggestion, he promptly incorporates this tactic as part of his plan to assume power, leading in the same scene to the rebel leader demanding ‘[a]way with him,’ referring to an educated clerk, who ‘can make obligations and write court hand,’ id. l. 90, 106. Eliminating lawyers as the guardians of the rule of law removes a major impediment to the path to more power. See Walters v. Nat’l Ass’n of Radiation Survivors, 473 U.S. 305, 371 n.24 (1985) (Stevens, J., dissenting) (explaining the import of the same Shakespearean statement to be ‘that disposing of lawyers is a step in the direction of a totalitarian form of government’).
Howell powerfully makes his point that lawyers can serve a critical role as an impediment to authoritarianism—pretty obvious these days as lawyers represent federal workers unfairly fired and immigrants illegally deported. But I, unfortunately, am dealing here with a lawyer who serves not as an opponent but as an agent of authoritarianism. And I have turned to the Bard for help in the indictment.
I think it is fair to say the world’s best writer wasn’t terribly fond of lawyers. Shakespeare’s Mercutio in “Romeo and Juliet” said this of the dream-weaving Queen Mab, the faeries’ mid-wife:
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love;
O’er courtiers’ knees, that dream on court’sies straight,
O’er lawyers’ fingers, who straight dream on fees,
O’er ladies ‘ lips, who straight on kisses dream.
[Emphasis added.]
And Robert F. Kennedy, our current head of Truskmumpia’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), certainly made a fortune from his ties with Wisner Baum, a Los Angeles personal injury law firm.
In “Timon of Athens,” Shakespeare refers to the lawyer’s verbal quibbles, his quillets: “Crack the lawyer’s voice, That he may never more false title plead, Nor sound his quillets shrilly.”
In “Measure for Measure,” Angelo says: “The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.”
And most famous of all, as Judge Howell reminds us, Jack the Butcher, confederate of rebellious Jack Cade announces in “Henry IV Part II”: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
Well, irony of ironies, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. turns out to be more the executioner than the victim, the killer not the killed. Yes, this lawyer, while busy transforming HHS from an agency designed to protect us from disease to one actively hostile to the vaccines that best protect us, may very well, because of that hostility, be responsible for killing many of us, including our very vulnerable American children.
You might be thinking my title, “The lawyer who kills,” is beyond the pale, far too harsh, and undeserved. Yes, words matter. So what do you call someone who fires between 62,000 and 82,000 people who once actively searched for cures? What do you call someone who fires those who work hard to ensure little babies don’t needlessly die in their cribs from SIDS? What do you call someone who is trying to make it more difficult to get COVID vaccines that help to keep us out of the intensive care unit? Someone who doesn’t do everything in his power to convince people to take the measles, flu, and COVID shots that will keep them and their children alive?
Vaccines save lives—millions and millions of lives. But by repeatedly and systematically casting doubt on their effectiveness—even going so far as to suggest that some vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they are meant to prevent—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clearly risks lives and encourages death.
When I last wrote about measles, there were 476 cases spread across three states: Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Kansas. You may remember that Kennedy’s response was to half-heartedly acknowledge the effectiveness of immunization but simultaneously, even enthusiastically, advocate for an alternative treatment regime of aerosolized budensonide and clarithromycin.
On May 4, 2025, Katelin Jetelina, Your Local Epidemiologist, wrote:
the U.S. had 967 confirmed cases. We are getting closer and closer to reaching the record high (1,200) since we eliminated measles in 2000. Of that, 817 cases are from the Southwest outbreak. The good news is that it may be slowing down in West Texas … Transmission continues, just at a slower pace … Other sporadic cases continue to pop up in the past week. Also, a small outbreak in Montana continues to grow, and a new outbreak in North Dakota …
It is fair to credit Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with provoking much of the skepticism Americans bring to the issue of immunization. This quote comes from a February 2021 discussion sponsored by Children’s Health Defense, the organization that employed him:
Misinformation and more misinformation.
Here is a January 8, 2025, report from The Washington Post:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee for the nation’s top health post, has repeatedly disparaged vaccines, falsely linked them to autism … In at least 36 appearances, Kennedy linked autism to vaccines, despite overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the use of vaccination to protect people from deadly infectious diseases and refuting any ties to autism, The Post found in a review of more than 400 of Kennedy’s podcast appearances, interviews and public speeches since 2020. Long considered among the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century, vaccines have beat back infectious diseases including polio and measles and saved more than 150 million lives around the world, according to the World Health Organization. But a Gallup poll shows Americans have become less likely since 2019 to say it is important to have their children vaccinated, a decline that came against the backdrop of concerns about coronavirus vaccine mandates.
A dozen vaccine experts, physicians and public health leaders said they were alarmed that someone who could shape vaccine policy as health and human services secretary failed to recognize reams of scientific data showing vaccines are safe and effective.
Like Donald Trump, RFK Jr. doesn’t lack for arrogance and grandiosity. The Post recalls this claim:
‘I’d actually like to see an example of something I’ve ever said on my Instagram, on the Children’s Health Defense, in my book, that’s not true. My book has 2,200 footnotes. I am an expert on vaccines. I’m not a doctor, but I can claim expertise because I have three best-selling books on vaccines,’ Kennedy said in an interview in April with KLCS, a California PBS station.
[Emphasis added.]
But the Post points out:
Several of the studies Kennedy points to in his public comments do not conclude what he says they do — or have been retracted. Georges C. Benjamin, a physician who leads the American Public Health Association, said that’s part of a larger pattern for Kennedy. ‘He continually takes information that may be factual in one situation with a bunch of caveats and makes bad correlations with it,’ Benjamin said.
As he systematically disassembles our public health system, one can only wonder how long Kennedy will tolerate being contradicted by this crystal-clear declaration on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website:
Read it while you can. Because Robert F. Kennedy is marshalling his energies and empowering his fellow vaccine skeptics to revisit the entire issue of vaccines, revising our policy regarding vaccination, all to make it more difficult for us to protect ourselves. The Washington Post reported on March 10, 2025:
The Post reports:
The National Institutes of Health will cancel or cut back dozens of grants for research on why some people are reluctant to be vaccinated and how to increase acceptance of vaccines, according to an internal email obtained by The Washington Post on Monday.
The email, titled ‘required terminations — 3/10/25,’ shows that on Monday morning, the agency ‘received a new list … of awards that need to be terminated, today. It has been determined they do not align with NIH funding priorities related to vaccine hesitancy and/or uptake.’ … Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, another part of HHS, was asked by the Trump administration to launch a study into a possible connection between vaccines and autism, despite repeated research that shows no link between the two.
[Emphasis added.]
Given the dangers of measles, bird flu, and the continuing threats of COVID and influenza, this is a dreadful time to be cutting down on efforts to inform the public about the dangers of viral epidemics. In fact, the Kaiser Family Foundation has recently published new poll results about vaccine misinformation. They warn:
As the U.S. faces rising measles cases across multiple states and the highest number of cases since 2019, the latest KFF Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust finds that most adults – including most parents – say they have heard at least one of several false claims about measles or the vaccine used to prevent it. About six in ten adults (63%) and a similar share of parents (61%) say they have read or heard the false claim that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines have been proven to cause autism in children and one in five adults and similar shares of parents (17%) have heard the false claim that vitamin A can prevent measles infections. One in three adults (33%) say they have heard or read the false claim that the measles vaccines are more dangerous than being infected with measles, an increase of 15 percentage points from March 2024.
[Emphasis added.]
I think it is fair to say Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Children’s Health Defense deserve a lot of credit for the fact that so many Americans have been convinced by their lies. The following results show how pervasive the misperceptions about measles and the MMR vaccine are:
It is this growing tide of disinformation that propels the disturbing predictions of several researchers at Stanford Medical.
Katia Savchuk writes:
Diseases such as measles, rubella and polio could become endemic to the U.S. again if vaccine rates decline, according to modeling run by researchers at Stanford Medicine and their colleagues. Childhood vaccination rates have been falling in the United States, especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lower levels of immunity have resulted in a resurgence of measles cases, including a recent outbreak in western Texas that infected more than 620 people, leading to 64 hospitalizations and the deaths of two children.
If immunization rates drop further over a prolonged period of time, measles and even other wiped-out diseases — such as rubella and polio — could one day make a comeback in the United States, according to a new study by researchers at Stanford Medicine and other universities. The study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on April 24, used large-scale epidemiological modeling to simulate the spread of infectious diseases in the United States at various childhood vaccination levels. Even at current immunization rates, researchers predict that measles may become endemic again — circulating in the U.S. — within two decades; with small declines in vaccination, this could happen more quickly. However, small increases in vaccine coverage would prevent this.
[Emphasis added.]
Senior author Nathan Lo, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of infectious diseases, pointed out the reality that Kennedy fails to adequately acknowledge:
Measles is one of the most infectious diseases that exists, so the number of people who have to be immune to prevent it from spreading is extremely high. Polio, diphtheria and rubella are still far more infectious than COVID-19, for example, but measles is in a different ballpark, with one person infecting up to 20 others (though our model took a conservative estimate of 12) in a fully susceptible population. Also, the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine has become particularly controversial, partly due to a history of fraudulent medical research that raised safety concerns; it has been conclusively shown that there is no link with autism. Measles is also more common around the world, so travelers are more likely to bring it back.
Given this reality, Kennedy’s behavior is even more irresponsible. Here is his post on X following a visit to the funeral of one of the victims of the Texas measles outbreak:
Suggesting that measles can be successfully treated—and treated with steroids and clarithromycin—is malpractice. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) explains in “Fact Checked: Budesonide and Clarithromycin: Unproven and Risky”:
Key Facts:
- There is no tested, valid treatment for measles. Children may need supportive care, once infected, such as assisting with breathing or hydration, as necessary. The only way to prevent measles is to equip our immune systems with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine so our bodies can recognize and resist the disease.
- While most children recover from measles, some develop serious complications like pneumonia and brain swelling; about 1 child in every 1,000 will die after catching measles.
- There is no scientific evidence that inhaled steroids like budesonide or oral antibiotics like clarithromycin are beneficial for treating measles. Promoting medications to treat measles, particularly when those medications are not recommended, suggests that measles is treatable, which it is not. The most important way to combat measles is through prevention with the MMR vaccine.
- Clarithromycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics kill bacteria, not viruses, so they don’t work against measles, which is a virus.
- Measles can weaken the body so much that patients develop bacterial infections. But experts do not recommend clarithromycin as a first-line treatment for bacterial infections caused by measles. Clarithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets a wide range of bacteria. Targeting everything, rather than specific bacteria, risks increasing resistance to antibiotics.
- Budesonide is an inhaled steroid generally used for asthma and is also not a recommended nor effective treatment for measles. Steroids should not be given early in an infection like measles because they interfere with the immune system, which is fighting measles for you.
- The MMR vaccine has been thoroughly tested and has been administered safely to millions and millions of children for more than 50 years.
AAP emphasizes, “It’s misleading and dangerous to promote the idea that measles is easily treated using unproven and ineffective therapies like budesonide and clarithromycin.”
For some children, the stakes are life and death. For years, Kennedy railed against the childhood MMR vaccine, then more recently attacking Dr. Fauci and working to curtail the COVID vaccines:
Now with power and authority, Kennedy is demanding a renewed study of possible links between autism and vaccines. The Washington Post reports:
President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy have repeatedly linked vaccines to autism … Trump, who mentioned the rising rates of autism in his address to Congress this week, also has linked vaccines to autism. In a 2012 call into ‘Fox & Friends,’ he said ‘they go in, they get this monster shot — you ever see the size of it? It’s like they’re pumping in, you know it’s terrible, the amount, and they pump this into this little body, and then all of a sudden the child is different a month later. And I strongly believe that’s it.’
Truskmumpia’s version of the scientific method: the strong belief of someone who knows nothing about medicine and disease. Back to the Post:
In a statement, HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said: ‘As President Trump said in his Joint Address to Congress, the rate of autism in American children has skyrocketed. CDC will leave no stone unturned in its mission to figure out what exactly is happening. The American people expect high quality research and transparency and that is what CDC is delivering.’
The debunked theory linking the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines to autism traces to a 1998 study that was ultimately retracted. Study author Andrew Wakefield was barred from practicing medicine in Britain and found guilty of professional misconduct …
And so, which objective scientist will oversee this new study?
The Post reports:
A vaccine skeptic who has long promoted false claims about the connection between immunizations and autism has been tapped by the federal government to conduct a critical study of possible links between the two, according to current and former federal health officials. The Department of Health and Human Services has hired David Geier to conduct the analysis, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Geier and his father, Mark Geier, have published papers claiming vaccines increase the risk of autism, a theory that has been studied for decades and scientifically debunked.
David Geier was disciplined by Maryland regulators more than a decade ago for practicing medicine without a license. He is listed as a data analyst in the HHS employee directory.
Public health and autism experts fear that choosing a researcher who has promoted false claims will produce a flawed study with far-reaching consequences. They fear it will undermine the importance of the lifesaving inoculations and further damage trust in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
David Geier, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is fixated on a possible link between autism and the preservative thimerosol once found in vaccines. In Geier’s study “The relationship between mercury and autism: A comprehensive review and discussion,” a review of the work of others, he writes:
recent studies … have found that certain brain auto-antibodies correlate with mercury levels in children with ASD … This finding is biologically plausible since studies show that mercury exposure, especially to the mercury-based compound Thimerosal, can cause autoimmune dysfunction.
For example, Voldani et al. … conducted a study that demonstrated certain dietary peptides, bacterial toxins, and xenobiotics, such as Thimerosal, can bind to lymphocyte receptors and/or tissue enzymes, resulting in autoimmune reaction in children with autism. Havarinasab et al… also found that Thimerosal can induce (in genetically susceptible mice) a systemic autoimmune syndrome. In a recent study, Mostafa et al. … found a significant and positive linear relationship between levels of serum neurokinin A (a pro-inflammatory neuropeptide) and blood mercury levels in children with moderate and severe ASD, but not in healthy control children. They found that 78.3 % of the children with ASD with increased serum levels of neurokinin A had elevated blood mercury levels.
[Emphasis added.]
In a 2010 article, “Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines and Autism: A Review of Recent Epidemiologic Studies,” M. Hurley et al. highlight a 2008 study by Michael E. Pichichero designed “to assess blood levels and elimination of ethyl mercury after vaccination of infants with thimerosal-containing vaccines.” Hurley notes:
They studied 216 patients: 72 newborns, 72 infants aged 2 months, and 72 infants aged 6 months. The half-life of ethylmercury derived from thimerosal in vaccines that were injected intramuscularly into infants was much shorter than that of methylmercury in adults. The half-life of ethylmercury in blood was estimated to be 3.7 days and did not vary significantly by age group. Mercury levels in blood before vaccination were similar in 2-month-old and 6-month-old infants; this similarity suggests that ethylmercury does not accumulate in blood. The levels of mercury found in the stool suggest that the gastrointestinal system is involved in the elimination of ethylmercury.
Hurley concludes:
Epidemiologic studies continue to provide evidence that there is no association between thimerosal exposure and autism … Children should receive recommended immunizations to prevent serious disease. The known risks of serious complications from preventable infections—e.g., influenza—outweigh the risks of adverse consequences from vaccines …
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health published this report recently: “Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism. Why Do Some People Think They Do? How a retracted study from the 1990s undermined trust in vaccines and led to a persistent myth.” They add more context to the 1998 Dr. Andrew Wakefield paper cited by The Washington Post. Wakefield claimed that of 12 children who received the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR), eight later developed autism.
Bloomberg writes:
Wakefield got a lot of press and told people that he had shown vaccines had caused autism, which again, that study couldn’t even do. The paper was ultimately retracted. Within a short amount of time, several of the authors pulled their names … For example, the cases were not consecutive [i.e., they did not include all of the children studied. They were cherry-picked cases. And we know that, given that the age when children receive the MMR is also the age when some children regress into autism, there will be a temporal relationship; by chance alone, some children would develop autism after vaccination. So, from a scientific perspective, the paper didn’t show much.
Daniel Salmon, director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety, explains:
I think autism was ripe for vaccine safety controversies for a few reasons: It becomes apparent to the parent early in childhood, around when we give a lot of vaccines. Autism seems to be increasing in incidence or prevalence, so there’s more of it out there. And we don’t fully understand what causes it … Parents are looking for answers, understandably. And so the issue was very ripe for it to be associated with vaccines—not by cause and effect, but by timing and temporality.
[The issue] led to a number of large epidemiological studies that looked at kids who were vaccinated with the MMR vaccine and those who weren’t, so there were control groups. And those studies found no association between the MMR vaccine and autism. Once it started to become clear that the MMR vaccine was not associated with autism, the hypothesis shifted from the MMR vaccine [as a cause of autism] to thimerosal, which at the time was used as a preservative in some childhood vaccines. Thimerosal was never used in the MMR vaccine, but it was used as a preservative in multidose vials of other vaccines.
That led to a number of large studies looking at thimerosal in vaccines and autism, and those studies also found no relationship. Then the hypothesis shifted again to the number of vaccines given at one time, so there were studies of that, which also found no relationship between vaccines and autism. At this point, we have 16 well-conducted, large population-based studies, carefully designed, done by different investigators in different countries, using different but strong methods. And all have found no relationship between MMR vaccine, thimerosal in vaccines, or the number of vaccines given and autism. The evidence is compelling.
[Emphasis added.]
There is no way to accurately estimate the vast number of parents who have been persuaded that their refusal to vaccinate is actually an indication of parental concern. But all it takes is a cursory glance at the data coming in from the southwest to see clearly that virtually all the cases of measles are amongst those who have not vaccinated. And while we have difficulty tallying up the numbers of those who have suffered needlessly from the disinformation campaign surrounding the MMR vaccine, it is certainly easier to see the consequences of the continuing lies about the COVID vaccine. Our World in Data has been able to account for only some of the extraordinary number of deaths:
From the very beginning of the pandemic in 2020, statistics revealed that those who were vaccinated were far less likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID. Kennedy and those who spread misinformation about the COVID vaccines are lying and have caused and will continue to cause needless death. Here are some relevant studies and articles:
In this cross-sectional study of US adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during January 2022 to April 2022 (during Omicron variant predominance), COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates were 10.5 times higher in unvaccinated persons and 2.5 times higher in vaccinated persons with no booster dose, respectively, compared with those who had received a booster dose.
“Latest CDC Data: Unvaccinated Adults 97 Times More Likely to Die from COVID-19 Than Boosted Adults”:
As of early December, unvaccinated adults were about 97 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people who had received boosters, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data … The CDC says that, as of Dec. 4, the weekly COVID-19 death rate among unvaccinated adults was 9.74 per 100,000 population, and the rate was 0.1 per 100,000 population for people 18 and older who were fully vaccinated with a booster dose.
“COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness, February 1, 2024”:
People who received the updated COVID-19 vaccine were 54% less likely to get COVID-19 during the four-month period from mid-September 2023 to January 2024. Updated COVID-19 vaccine boosts waning immunity. The virus that causes COVID-19 is always changing, and protection from infection or COVID-19 vaccination declines over time. Receiving an updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine can restore and provide enhanced protection against the variants currently responsible for most infections and hospitalizations in the United States.
Despite this evidence, Kennedy peddles misinformation and is going out of his way to make it more difficult for Americans to get the COVID vaccine. With over-inflated rhetoric, Kennedy is determined to un-do the procedure that has worked so well to protect us from COVID, the painstaking reevaluation of the changing COVID virus and reconfiguring the COVID boosters. And by unnecessarily insisting that these modifications be tested using placebos, he will invariably delay their availability.
As The Washington Post reported:
In his push for vaccine safety, Kennedy has repeatedly falsely linked vaccines to deaths without evidence, saying ‘that’s the danger of not having placebo-controlled trials.’ But experts say placebo-controlled trials — where one group of people gets a medicine or treatment and the other does not — would be irresponsible to apply to most vaccines because it could deprive people of immunizations already proved to prevent infectious disease. In practice, that could mean several thousand children in Chicago, for instance, would not get childhood vaccinations, while their neighbors did …
Experts say his claim that vaccines do not undergo pre-licensing safety trials is not true — vaccines go through several stages of clinical trials before approval. Thousands of people are studied along the way to determine vaccines’ safety and effectiveness before they are rolled out to the public. And after vaccines are in use, companies, health-care providers and the federal government monitor for additional adverse events.
If you are interested, several doctors have put together a “Table of Randomized Controlled Trials of Vaccines.”
As Factcheck.org suggests, the misinformation continues. Recently:
[Kennedy] has minimized the risk COVID-19 poses to kids and exaggerated the risk of the vaccine, incorrectly claiming that the shot poses a ‘profound risk’ to children. While serious side effects can occur, they are rare, and have not been shown to outweigh the benefits of the vaccine in protecting against COVID-19. Kennedy’s remarks come as he is reportedly considering removing the COVID-19 vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s childhood immunization schedule, a move that could reduce accessibility to the vaccine.
On April 22, when Fox News’ Jesse Watters asked about taking the COVID-19 vaccine off the schedule, Kennedy, who has long spread misinformation about vaccines, said the recommendation for children ‘was always dubious” because ‘kids had almost no risk for COVID-19.’
This is an extraordinary lie, and Kennedy does a profound disservice to every American family who has or has had to deal with taking their child to the hospital with COVID. In its study of pediatric COVID-19 hospitalizations from 2020 to 2024, the American Academy of Pediatrics wrote:
About 234,000 children under age 18 were hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19 from fall 2020 to spring 2024, according to AAP analysis of data collected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) …The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations varied substantially across time by waves of infection and emergence of new variants (see figure). The largest peak was in winter 2022 during the omicron surge, with 6,527 child hospitalizations the week of Jan. 15. In the final week of the report, April 27, 2024, 310 children with a confirmed COVID-19 case were admitted, among the lowest levels reported during the pandemic.
[Emphasis added.]
The experts call it vaccine hesitancy, but it is really the unwarranted fear provoked by a systematic campaign of disinformation. The reluctance of so many Americans to protect themselves and their children against measles and COVID is pervasive. The Washington Post revealed the shocking reality on May 8, 2025:
At least 216 children died of influenza in the United States this past flu season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, the disease’s highest pediatric death toll in about 15 years …
‘Misinformation around vaccines has in recent years contributed to a rise in vaccine hesitancy and declining vaccination rates,’ New York State Health Commissioner James McDonald said in a news release. ‘Vaccines are the best protection we have, and do save lives, including the lives of very young children who are too young to receive certain vaccines.’ Only one of the 25 children who died in New York was vaccinated, McDonald said. Five of the children were too young to receive the vaccine.
[Emphasis added.]
There is no reason for so many of these children to have died. There is no reason why so many Americans died from COVID. Sadly, it will only get worse. Because the lawyer who kills has taken control of the agencies once dedicated to stopping the killing.
