“The death of one man: this is a catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands of deaths: that is a statistic!"
—Kurt Tucholsky
If you have the misfortune of regular, carcinogenic exposure to the dying legacy media, you might have picked up on their latest Public Health™ obsession: a measles “outbreak” in Texas — with fewer than 500 cases.

Compare a single alleged death from measles in a six-year-old Mennonite girl in West Texas to these statistics:
- According to the CDC, “In 2024, an estimated 2,001,140 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 611,720 people will die from the disease.”
- Nearly a million Americans died in 2020 from heart disease.
- At least 20% of American teenagers are clinically obese.
Furthermore, for the record, consider that this is how measles was portrayed in 1969.
(Per BMC Infectious Diseases, measles has a 0.1% fatality rate in children in developed countries.)
RFK Jr. — who capitulated to industry and recommended measles shots anyway despite the very low risk of severe illness or death in children — is reportedly on the outs with certain (anonymous) Trump administration insiders for not pimping the injections vociferously enough, as if parents are infants are can’t be trusted to investigate the relative benefits and risks of vaccination on their own.
Via Axios (emphasis added):
The White House is so frustrated by the lack of clear and fast communications by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s agency that it has set up a parallel press shop, five top Trump administration sources tell Axios…
The problem surfaced in February, after it took two days for the Health and Human Services Department to acknowledge — by tweet — that a West Texas child had become the first person to die in the measles outbreak…
"The White House was like, 'Where the f**k is the statement?' " said a White House official who was involved in the measles response. "CNN was blaring this chyron about how Kennedy was silent, and there was just nothing from the department because of Stefanie*."
*Playing defensive reactionary to CNN’s pharma propaganda is exactly the wrong strategy for the Trump administration to take. No one trusts these outlets anymore, and letting them dictate the narrative is handing them power they don’t deserve.

It looks to me like we’ve got a few leakers on our hands, assuming Axios isn’t just manufacturing quotes from phantom sources, which isn’t beyond the realm of possibility.
The reference in the above quote is to RFK’s principal deputy chief of staff / senior counselor to the secretary, Stefanie Spear, who is largely perceived as enabling his “anti-vaccine” activism. The more pharma-influenced/controlled actors in Trump’s orbit, many of whom are leftover careerist bureaucrats, have been trying to get rid of her since the president announced RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary.
Via The Daily Beast (emphasis added):
[HHS] has also allegedly had to contend with friction between Trump administration officials and career HHS employees, who are generally more liberal.
“It’s a mess over there,” another White House aide told Axios. “The [career employees] hate us and are always undermining us and leaking stuff to the media. And then there’s this small circle of trust with Stefanie that hasn’t expanded.”
Spear and HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but White House spokesman Kush Desai told the Daily Beast that “anonymous sources are attempting to create conflict where none exists.”
“The White House has a great relationship with Stefanie and HHS. We work closely day in and day out to Make America Healthy Again,” he said. “It’s disappointing that bitter, anonymous sources are attempting to create conflict where none exists.”
Disappointing, perhaps, but par for the course.
