Not supporting this dude, but I watched the whole video and he never once said it would be better if everyone got measles. Maybe I missed it; if so, please correct me. He mentioned a waning effect with the vaccine vs full-blown infection, which I highly doubt is accurate (I'll research it later), but that's a massive stretch to get to the headline. He even recommended vaccines and said they will be available for free to anyone that needs them. I've gotten a little lazy in fact checking left leaning stuff because I always felt it was a little more trustworthy. I'm just starting to wonder how much I've been blindly accepting because it conforms to my biases.

Thanks for watching it and writing this. Good to know it's not as stupid as it's made out to be.

I've actually got fed up with left-leaning outrage news because any time I check it it's twisted out of shape or plain wrong. I'm sure there's plenty the same in right-leaning-outrage-news, I just don't see it in the first place!

I wish people who want a world of truth and science wouldn't lie to get support.

as opposed to right wing news? which just makes things entirely up, thats where interview came from fox, the site was just reposted on that site.

See, the thing is, I don't get any right wing news. Maybe I should? So I can lament how bad it is?

The written article also doesn’t say it would be better if everyone got measles. I listened to the interview long enough to see the article is quoting him accurately and fairly. At least for that.

Then he spent probably too much time talking about vitamin A, and I didn’t listen to the rest

It’s really just a lying outrage headline - from the written article
