A week ago, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. called out Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro after the governor announced two reported measles deaths in Lancaster County deaths. Kennedy soon revealed the county coroner had no record of them.

“The announcement appears to have been premature, and the deaths may even have been altogether fabricated,” Kennedy said, noting that state law requires measles deaths to be reported to the coroner.

Kennedy observed that Shapiro was attempting to revive the same tactics used during COVID: “fearmongering, misinformation, finger-pointing, and the weaponization of infectious disease fears for political gain.”

RFK, Jr. also criticized mainstream media for rushing to amplify the governor’s claims without first verifying the facts.

“Governor Shapiro got his headlines,” Kennedy said. “He correctly gambled that the slavish mainstream media would dutifully amplify his scolding without any effort to check his facts.”

Shapiro shot back at the HHS Secretary by saying he was just promoting “conspiracy theories” after Kennedy told him that some Americans have religious objections to the MMR because of its connection to aborted fetal tissue.

Kennedy responded with the record, pointing to the videotaped deposition of longtime vaccine developer Dr. Stanley Plotkin, who was questioned under oath about research involving 76 aborted, normally developing fetuses — all three months gestation or older — in a single study.

Kennedy also highlighted that the rubella virus used in M-M-R II is grown using WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts, a cell line originally derived from the lung tissue of an aborted three-month-old female fetus.

During Plotkin’s deposition, attorney Aaron Siri asked whether M-M-R II contains approximately 150 nanograms of cell-substrate DNA per dose, fragmented to roughly 215 base pairs.

Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that’s probably correct, yes.”

Kennedy says this amounts to approximately 646 billion fragments of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vial of M-M-R II, in addition to an unspecified amount of human cellular debris.

Shapiro predictably accused RFK, Jr. of spreading vaccine misinformation. Kennedy said that when he asked the governor to identify an example, Shapiro could not provide one.

For decades, legitimate questions about vaccines have too often been dismissed as “misinformation” rather than answered with evidence.

As Kennedy put it, restoring public trust requires “being truthful, at last, with the public.”
