Measles doesn't care what you've read on Twitter. It doesn't care about your healthy living habits, supplements or lack of fluoride. If they have fewer measles vaccinations they'll have more measles outbreaks and subsequent complications.
JFK Jr has said he isn't anti-vaccination but he was a big critic of the COVID vaccine and has said that
vaccines cause autism . He seems to be one of these people whose distrust of authority has led to a distrust of scientific consensus and therefore pretty much any public health intervention made on scientific grounds. He is against fluoride in water for example, additives in food (not a bad thing necessary in that case) and even promotes raw milk. Pasteurisation is from the 1800s. It's fine. It's safe. Pasteurised milk is safer than raw milk even if raw milk is now a lot safer than it was then due to better hygiene standards.
I don't understand people who think natural means better. Natural milk, natural exposure to viruses for which we have vaccines, natural treatments for conditions that we have better medication for. Have they seen how life expectancy has changed from when medical science was less advanced?
