    “I feel like I’ve been lied to,” Kiley told his wife as his fever rose to 104 degrees. He tried to manage his symptoms at home with cod liver oil and vitamin D, supplements endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. health secretary.

    You can stop right there.

    Sounds like we are gonna get breakthrough cases from these dumbfucks. It destroys your immune system too, so for the next decade, they will be an additional burden on our medical and tax system.

      What do you expect from somebody who thinks chiropractor is a valid medical practice.

        I think we are going to have a long, slow, painful recovery where people clutch at their crystals and misinformation while terrible diseases like polio, whooping cough, and measles come roaring back. I think we will get back to where we were in 2010, someday. It’s just sad that something so completely unnecessary is going to cause heartache and lasting damage for whole generations of people.

    “Kiley’s business catered in part to patients who were skeptical of mainstream American health care and wanted to try alternative treatments. “The doctor of the future will give no medicine,” read one sign that he hung in his office.”

    And

    “For more than a decade, Kiley and Carrollyn had debated whether to vaccinate their children. Each time, they decided against it.”

    Just let the adults die; they already made that decision. Save the kids and educate them why vaccines are safe and effective.

    It’s almost like facts don’t care about your feelings! Measles sure as hell doesn’t.
