The U.S. is in the grips of a historic measles surge, with more than 3,000 measles cases reported in 45 states across the country since the start of 2025. So far, two unvaccinated children have died from the disease. At least 920 people have been infected in South Carolina, and a similar number in Texas. In both states, nearly all infected individuals were unvaccinated.
Now Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is urging Americans to get the measles vaccine as the country is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status.
“Take the vaccine, please. We have a solution for our problem,” Oz said on CNN’s State of Union on Sunday. “Not all illnesses are equally dangerous, and not all people are equally susceptible to those illnesses. But measles is one you should get your vaccine [for],” Oz said.

These people are a combination of mentally ill and evil to be giving out conflicting information at their whim.
Not surprising to see Oz and RFK jr do a 180 on vaccines now that there’s a blossoming pandemic. The anti-vax movement was never really about the vaccines, it’s just another distract and divide tactic.
The 20th century antivax movement started, as all things do, as a grift.
not-a-doctor Andrew Wakefield falsified evidence and commited fraud to make people believe the MMR vaccine was dangerous. Not because he was against vaccines in general, but because he got a fuckload of money from a company that sold seperate vaccines who didn’t like the fact that a combination vaccine was costing them a lot of money.
He actually made his money from a NY law firm who wanted to sue vaccine makers but couldn’t find any evidence against them in the US, so they paid Wakefield to fake data.
This is why scientific fraud is illegal in many countries and could land jail time. Not the US or UK.
Clearly They has gotten to him and he can no longer be trusted.
Oz is woke y’all! String him up!
Why did they come out against vaccines in the first place, if they were just going to shit themselves the second the obvious consequences showed up.
Because they wanted to grift, but then found out the consequences will kill off their customers.
But when RFK killed 83 kids in Samoa, he continued in the US.
Samoa only has 230,000 people, so this round of measles deaths in the US could hit over 1400 dead. Many more blinded, or with brain damage.
Why did they come out against vaccines in the first place
RFK Jr was getting $250,000/yr as “consultant” to anti vax simps.
Meh Oz had all kinds of side hustles with magic berries, herbs and colored feathers. Columbia turfed him for good reasons.
What does “Columbia turfed him” mean?
Columbia University Medical Center in NY fired him.
‘He’s been a huge danger to public health,’
- a group of distinguished physicians wrote to Columbia, claiming Oz had “repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine” and shown “outrageous conflicts of interest or flawed judgements about what constitutes appropriate medical treatments, or both”.*
“Worst of all,” the letter continued, “he has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain.”
Between platforming Chopra, Phil, and Oz, why did Oprah have such a hard-on for psuedoscientists.
“The worst person you know just made a good point.”
