Continued? I thought this crap was over.
I don’t mean the thread; I mean measles outbreaks.
The head of HHS says measles is no big deal. New normal?

He got kicked out of med school for sex harassment and tried to spin it into a “ I was silenced for my covid views” thing. Very odd all around.
The 10 year moving average is just so dumb I can discount his stuff off hand

Kennedy has an opinion piece regarding measles outbreak on Fox website:
Some interesting bits in it.
1) The subtitle is "MMR vaccine is crucial to avoiding potentially deadly disease", but it's not clear those are Kennedy's words as it isn't taken from the main text. Headlines are typically written by a copy editor. He does write, "Measles is a highly contagious respiratory illness with certain health risks, especially to unvaccinated individuals."
2) He talks about "theraputics" and specifically vitamin A including a pointer to a CDC statement which says that after it says, "Vaccination remains the best defense against measles infection."
3) He talks about the role of nutrition in mitigating disease which isn't wrong and should please Fisky.
4) He does say, "The decision to vaccinate is a personal one", but talks about the broader community health benefits of vaccination.
In short, he's being about as moderate on this as one might have hoped given his prior history on vaccination, but his political platform prior to joining the Trump team was left leaning.

What a bigger concern, measles or the fact that the average female American is 5'4" 195 pounds? (I'm not making that up)

The difference is RFK is keeping it voluntary, which is the correct approach. There is no reason to mandate such a thing. If people choose to not vaccinate themselves or their children due to personal or religious beliefs, that is their right.

Actually, you did completely make that up or take it out of context. The fact that a couple percent of female Americans are toddlers and there isn’t a comprehensive female weight collection and tracking process makes this nearly impossible to know.

What stopping antivaxxers from sending their kids to schools sick with measles? The measles vaccine is great but it’s not 100% effective. Expose enough kids to high amounts of the virus and you’re going to get some sick.
I suppose civil liability for knowingly exposing others to a disease that has a vaccine is one way.

37 states have criminal laws for disclosing HIV status in such a manner.

Good there’s precedent. Vax up or assume responsibility for exposure

I'm wondering where I can apply for a exception to speed limits on religious grounds?

a) Speed limits on motor vehicles.
b) Medical procedure of vaccination.
Hard to believe that anybody can fail to distinguish between a) and b).
You attended a low quality school, regardless of it's vaccine policies.

If you want that “low quality school” insult to land, you should probably use the correct form of its/it’s.
Aside from basic sanitation/hand hygiene and antibiotics, immunization with vaccines against diseases that used to be devastating is the greatest medical advancement to ever occur. Vaccines have saved way more lives than speed limits ever will.
