Doctor with Measles Treats Children; RFK Jr. Praises Him
Video footage revealed Texas doctor Ben Edwards, treating children during a measles outbreak, displayed a measles rash while working in a clinic a week before Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met and praised him. Edwards’ actions, potentially exposing others to the highly contagious disease, are deemed irresponsible by public health experts. Kennedy’s subsequent endorsement of Edwards, who utilized unproven treatments, has drawn sharp criticism and raised concerns about the Secretary’s approach to public health. This incident highlights a conflict between Kennedy’s past anti-vaccine stance and his current role as head of the HHS, particularly amidst a significant measles outbreak.
