Just a few months later, what was hidden by the global pandemic was the convulsions of tragedy on the remote Pacific Island. However, for Governor Josh Green, the occurrence of measles in the nearby Samoa, which killed 83 people, mainly killed babies and children, but Trump wants to lead American health policy. It was a preventive catastrophe.
In December 2019, Dr. Green, an emergency medical physician at the time and a democratic vice -governor of Hawaii, flew to Samoa with thousands of vaccine and thousands of vaccine. Last month, he flew to Washington to warn the members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mr. Trump's candidates, and the role of the long -standing vaccine played in Samoa's outbreak. I aimed.
Kennedy's confirmation hearing will be held on Wednesday and Thursday before the two Senate Committee, and then vote for whether his nomination will go to a complete Senate.
The Democratic Party is trying to oppose his nomination, taking advantage of Kennedy's connection with Samoa's occurrence. Dr. Green has recently appeared in an ad by a liberal advocacy organization, saying that “RFK Jr. spreads a lot of wrong information, stops vaccination, which is tragic and fatal of measles. It caused the spread. “
In an interview on Monday, Dr. Green said that if all the Senate votes were taken anonymously based on the conversation so far, RFK Jr. will be defeated after 70-30. At the same time, he said, “The political situation is exposed to the great pressure of going with the President or being broken and labeling.”
Kennedy's spokeswoman did not respond to the request for comments on Tuesday. In the past, he accused Samoa's milde in the “MMR vaccine made in India” and refined a mumps and a rubella vaccine.
54 -year -old Dr. Green was the only doctor who arrived in Hawaii in 2000 as a young doctor at the National Health Service Corps and often served as a small rural community in Hawaii's big island. After being selected as the state council in 2012, he took care of the patient on the weekend. He was banned from external employment after being elected governor in 2022, but he provides healthcare to unwanted veterans and other troubled people. He says he is volunteering.
The occurrence of Samoa had roots in tragic errors. In 2018, the nurse preparing the MMR vaccine mixed muscle relaxants and dosage instead of water. The contaminated shots caused two infants and ratchet their parents' fears of vaccine safety.
Vaccination suspicions often connect their childhood vaccines to autism, and after the incident, stopped the island country vaccination program due to autism. 。
According to the World Health Organization, as a result of death and prohibition, in 2018, in 2018, Samoa's under one year of year received MMR vaccine in 2018, decreasing from 90 % in 2013. 。 Infectious diseases have begun to increase rapidly.
Children's Health Defense -In 2022, Facebook and Instagram in 2022, a group that was banned for a while about the fact that it was a medical misinformation in 2022 -The prime minister's decision to stop the vaccine program on the website I posted it.
Both Kennedy, who is skeptical of the vaccine, and his friend Dell Big Tree, have a large international online form, and use the death of two babies to the danger of the vaccine. I emphasized the message about. Big Tree later served as a communication chief of Kennedy's presidential election.
As an American with a famous name, as a powerful network that amplifies his parents' fear in Samoa, Kennedy said, “I predated the vulnerable people.”
In June 2019, Kennedy and his wife, actress Sheryl Hines, traveled to Samoa at the invitation of the Prime Minister. “My husband wants to move here,” said Heades, who said to the reporters while traveling.
During the visit, Kennedy took a picture with Edwin Tamasses, a coconut farmer that he called the “Hero of Medical Freedom”. Kennedy later arranged by Tamasses, who was later arrested on the child's health defense website, spreading the use of vaccine incorrect information and promoting measles treatment without effects such as vitamins and papaya leaves extracts. I wrote that it was done.
Mr. Kennedy also visited Samoa because the health authorities and the Prime Minister were “interested in measuring their healthy fruits following the” natural experiment “created by the vaccine of the vaccine.” I mentioned on the site. Kennedy said he was helping them to create a tracking system.
He later denied that he was in Samoa and promoted his views on vaccines. In an interview with the vaccine and the COVID-19 pandemic documentary, Kennedy, Kennedy told filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy. By the way, anything related to the problem. )
The measles were very infectious, and by the latter half of 2019, Samoa's new infections have doubled every week. The first child died on October 13. A month later, 16 people died of measles complications, and the government declared a state emergency and required MMR shots. Four days later, Mr. Kennedy, “Scientifically, has been scientifically determined whether it was caused by an inadequate vaccine compensation or a defective vaccine to the Ministry of Health in Samoa. I will encourage you to do it. “
In early December, more than 3,700 new cases and more than 50 people died, and the Minister of Communication of Samoa said that vaccination conspiracy theories were “slowing us” with efforts to vaccinate people.
Dr. Green contacted Fimarotor Kika Stoords, the Minister of Health in Samoa. Can he bring a team to the vaccination mission? Dr. Green recalled in an interview, saying that Story's team had a relay of the death defendant, saying that the Hawaiian team had offered to close the country to work.
Within 48 hours, Dr. Green has secured 50,000 vaccines from volunteers, donors, and UNICEF.
His team landed in Samoa at 5:30 am on December 4, with hundreds of Samoa volunteers in the countryside. Residents applied a red flag or cloth outside the house if the vaccine was needed.
Dr. Green reminded her that her child had recently died, and her skin was still washed away. “After she died of a preventive measles, she felt warmth, leaving her child's body,” he said.
Global public health experts have contributed to the occurrence of some factors, including slow government response and limited access to Samoans healthcare. However, the World Health Organization has connected the wrong information of the vaccine directly to the spread.
