Follow Up to RFK Jr.

So now, I read, RFK Jr. is calling the measles outbreak a “priority” and is actually going to do something about it. What actions he might take are, at least at the moment, unclear. But at least he says he’s going to take some kind of action.

The problem is that this is far too late. The trick in public health is to stay ahead of pandemics, not to catch up with them.

And, frankly, anti-vaccine Robert is already way late to the game. The terrifying question is what will he do, or not do, if something worse…and quicker…comes along.
