.MaddowBlog: HHS chief praises Pres. Trump for reversing course on vaccines.
The latest news from public-health officials yesterday was not at all encouraging: there are now 704 confirmed measles cases across 22 states. As NBC News reported yesterday, it’s the highest number of reported cases in the U.S. in a year since 1994, which is six years before officials declared the disease eliminated.
“The president is very clear that children should get their shots, that parents should make sure they are up to date,” Azar told reporters on a call. “Most of us have never seen these devastating diseases and that’s how we want to keep it. They belong in the history books and not in our emergency rooms.”
His pre-candidacy rhetoric on vaccines was wildly irresponsible, but it didn’t stop after he launched his presidential bid. Indeed, Trump declared during a primary debate that autism “has become an epidemic” and has “gotten totally out of control.” He even had an anecdote to share: “Just the other day, two years old, two and a half years old, a child, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine, and came back, and a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic.
