Tell RFK Jr: Stop Lying About Measles Treatments

As a measles outbreak spreads across the country, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is spreading dangerous medical misinformation — and lives are on the line.

In a recent video, RFK Jr. falsely claimed that an inhaled steroid commonly used for asthma can be used to treat measles. There is no scientific basis for this claim. Experts have made it clear: there is no cure for measles, and the best protection is simple and proven — vaccination.

Kennedy’s claims aren’t just wrong — they’re dangerous and irresponsible. Instead of encouraging families to vaccinate and follow medical guidance, he’s using his platform to amplify conspiracy theories and lies that put vulnerable people at greater risk.

Measles is a highly contagious disease that can cause pneumonia, brain swelling, and death — especially in young children and people with compromised immune systems. Misinformation like this fuels vaccine hesitancy, undermines public health, and prolongs outbreaks that could have been prevented.

Add your name to demand that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stop lying about measles treatments and stop putting lives at risk with reckless misinformation.
