As measles cases rise and the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status, this country is paying the price for skepticism about vaccination against measles that RFK Jr. played a central role in promoting,

There is an expectation that U.S. leaders will engage the leaders of other nations, including those whose foreign policy and domestic policy agendas may be dissimilar or may conflict with those in the United States, but that they will do it with a level of dignity that is appropriate … and that represents the American people in a way that would make us proud,
It’s as if you had a mental readout of his fantasy life and a projection of what he’d like to be seen as,
It is an extension of his verbal rhetoric... it aggrandises him and it denigrates those he opposes,
The key question for me is, when we need these agencies to speak, will they have the capacity to draw the science together and tell us what we need to know?”
