00:00How would we start when it comes to measles? How would we fight if vaccines may or may not be answered?
00:05I just wanted to clarify, because you said last week that, you know, we do support these vaccines,
00:09but at the same time, they don't have a long term, they don't last long.
00:13They may not have a long term. I just wanted to clarify.
00:17I mean, first of all, I would say that CDC, in this case, has done a very good job at controlling the measles outbreak.
00:26We've had about under 700 cases nationally, and in Europe, they've had 127,000 cases, 37 deaths.
00:40People get measles because they don't vaccinate. They get measles because the vaccine wanes.
00:45The vaccines wane about 4.8 percent per year.
00:48And so, you know, it's a leaky vaccine, and that problem is always going to be around.
00:57We need to also make sure that doctors know how to treat measles and how to treat the associated disease,
01:04the pulmonary disease that often come with them, and bacteriological.
01:09And we can't rely simply on the vaccine.
01:12We also have to know how to treat measles. Children shouldn't die of measles.
01:15Because when I was a kid, before the measles vaccine was introduced,
01:20there was a half a million people who got measles, as many as 2 million a year.
01:26And nobody got in the newspapers for that.
01:30But the death rate was about 400 people a year, mainly children who were malnourished.
01:37So it's an infection fatality rate of 1 in 1,200 to 1 in 10,000.
01:46Children, healthy children, should not die of measles.
01:49And there's no reason they should.
01:50If the doctors know how to treat at the hospital, that will not happen.
01:54Wait a minute.
01:55Any other questions for Dr. Oz or Secretary Kennedy?
02:01Amen.
