The Health and Human Services Secretary suggested Monday that a poor diet could have been behind the death of a West Texas child who contracted measles.
Kennedy’s comment, however, belied the fact that the most vulnerable populations to die from measles are unvaccinated children.
So far, two individuals who contracted measles were reported to have died this year. Both of them were unvaccinated.
The highly contagious virus has no cure, so doctors say that the best way to remedy the disease is simply to get inoculated against it and never contract measles in the first place. But vaccination rates have dipped in several states due to conspiracy theories that vaccines are linked to autism.
And Kennedy—a virulent vaccine conspiracy theorist himself—has so far refused to encourage the public to receive the jab.
As a reminder: since their invention, vaccines have proven to be one of the greatest accomplishments of modern medicine. The medical shots are so effective at preventing illness that they have effectively eradicated some of the worst diseases from our collective culture, from rabies to polio and smallpox—a fact that has possibly fooled some into believing that the viruses and their complications aren’t a significant threat for the average, health-conscious individual.
