The "Our World in Data" website indicates that approximately 298,000 1-year old children in the United States are unvaccinated for MMR, and we have a Secretary of HHS who is a lifelong anti-vaccine protagonist. Further, he is promoting 50-year old steroids, antibiotics, and cod liver oil as "treatment" for a viral disease that is ridiculously preventable, all the while, as you say, suggesting that it is a "personal choice" to vaccinate. With no realistic way to predict which child will experience serious severe consequences from this virus, Mr. Kennedy is on course for a public health disaster. Children are at great risk and we need to inundate our congressional representatives - particularly the physicians who voted for him - with these warnings. Let me add that I commend you for addressing these issues directly.
