The outbreak in Samoa is horrific. The death rate is something around 1 in 65 people. Statistics weren't even that bad in 1960 before the MMR vaccine...back then it was something like 1 in 10,000. Something definitely is awry, and it has nothing to do with people who chose not to vaccinate. Of course, as with anything people don't understand, we must find a scapegoat so, by all means, create your red herring and blame the anti-vaxxers...blame RFK Jr., blame whomever you chose but the fact of the matter is, it serves no useful purpose and creates needless fear and hatred.
Now, WHO is rushing in and "helping" these poor people by vaccinating everyone including already immune-compromised people (read people already infected with measles, telling them it's a 'cure' which it is definitely not.) It is a live virus vaccine. And it isn't just for measles. It covers mumps and rubella, adding more to their already-taxed immune systems. They are prescribing antibiotics for a VIRUS which has been proven to make things far worse. And to top it all off, they are giving small, sick children fever reducers. It is no wonder people are dying.
Maybe we should consider their diets and overall health and the fact that they are Vit A deficient. The Samoan people are not healthy at all and that makes them very susceptible to diseases of any kind. It may not be a third world country but it is definitely not a first world country either and certainly not comparable to North America.

We already know how important Vit A is:

I fear that Samoa is a testing ground for future outbreaks. Let's just experiment on these people and find out what works (and what so obviously doesn't) so we will know for the next outbreak. Because of those dangerous anti-vaxxers and RFK Jr, we know there will be more outbreaks, right?
