MAHA Is a Fraud America has never been healthier. Going backwards is going to mean more people getting sick and dying.

“Less medical research, a pull-back on life-saving vaccines, turning away from science and embracing folk medicine.

Make America Healthy Again.

Again.

Meaning: America used to be ‘healthy’ and now is not.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Oh, sure—now that a measles outbreak is surging in Texas and a child has died, folks are rushing to get vaccinated. But if they’d gotten vaccinated in the first place, there wouldn’t have been an outbreak at all!
