The Spin

Left narrative

Right narrative

The current outbreak isn't unusual, as measles outbreaks occur regularly in the US. Concerns about vaccine safety and personal choice should be considered when discussing vaccination policies, and they should not become part of a wider conspiracy or psychological operation against Kennedy.
