A leading U.S. health official on Sunday urged people to get inoculated against the measles at a time of outbreaks across several states and as the United States is at risk of losing its measles elimination status.

“Take the vaccine, please,” said Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator whose boss has raised suspicion about the safety and importance of vaccines. “We have a solution for our problem.”

Oz, a heart surgeon, defended some recently revised federal vaccine recommendations as well as past comments from President Donald Trump and the nation’s health chief, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., about the efficacy of vaccines. From Oz, there was a clear message on the measles.

    Thank you for sharing that personal note. I’m so sorry to hear what you and your son had to go through. The fact that your ex even helped you with canvassing for Obama in 2008 and then for things to turn around like this is mind-boggling.

    But you’re right to point out that the cult has sucked in so many people, particularly some who used to be quite normal at an earlier point. This is very sad and I feel for you, your son, and everyone who has suffered from this.
