A CNN anchor was left in disbelief as one of the president’s top health goons claimed the MAGA administration was a top advocate for vaccines. Speaking of the record outbreak of measles in the U.S., particularly in South Carolina, Dana Bash asked Dr. Mehmet Oz on State of the Union Sunday: “Is this a consequence of the administration undermining support for advocacy for measles and other vaccines?” “I don’t believe so,” the Trump-appointed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator responded. He then said, “We’ve advocated for measles vaccines all along. Secretary Kennedy has been at the very front of this.”
