You know, it's hard to imagine it could be worse than RFK Jr.

in some respects, especially the way he's reacted to the measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico with his ideas that the vaccine was causing it and cod liver oil and all these other things.

And, you know, it's interesting, of course, that he's in there and he's, of course, already changing the way he testified when he was up for nomination.

So it's very worrisome.

So maybe we can just talk a bit about the measles outbreak and your thoughts about that, because we've got probably hundreds more than haven't been surfaced as far as the 250 plus as of Tuesday this week.

And this is obviously well outside the Mennonite community, getting into all sorts of counties in these two states.

Where is that headed, do you think?

Yeah, I mean, that's what we have, the worst measles outbreak and the first deaths, you know, for many, many years.

First child, I think, in 22 years.

And then we have a poor response and poor, I mean, what R.K.

Jr.

said about making vaccines a matter of personal choice.

No less, you know, these other remedies that he's advised, like cod liver oil,

and vitamin A, it's really sickening as to what is the difference between evidence, a major outbreak, which of course could get much worse.

Yesterday, we saw somebody in LA who had been at LA International now is diagnosed with measles and who knows where that's headed.

What should be done right now?

If you were running the show, which I wish you were, what should be done?

I don't think anyone needs that.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Also about older adults.
