#RFKjr, the brain-damaged psychopath, has recommended vitamin A for #measles.

The #CDC has so far confirmed 483 measles cases this year in at least 19 states: #Alaska, #California, #Florida, #Georgia #Kansas, #Kentucky, #Maryland, #Michigan, #Minnesota, #NewJersey, #NewMexico, #NewYork, #Ohio, #Pennsylvania, #RhodeIsland, #Tennesee, #Texas, #Vermont, and #Washington. (MN and TN are most recent.)

Public Health Ontario said Thursday there have been 572 measles cases since the outbreak began in October, 453 of them confirmed and 119 probable. Of the 42 people requiring hospitalization, two have required intensive care, and 36 have been children — most of them unvaccinated.

21 cases are reported in Alberta.

"The university spokeswoman did not return multiple requests for comment from 100 Days in Appalachia. But Campus Reform, a right-wing website promoting censorship on college campuses, did get a statement from Noland. 'After consultation with legal counsel, I cannot, in good faith, censor this exhibit because doing so would run counter to the duties of the Office of the President to uphold the laws of the State of Tennessee,' he said.

Noland gave 'careful consideration' to closing the exhibit, he said, and only kept it open because state and federal law requires him to. Well, quite. Closing the exhibit would have been an obvious violation of the First Amendment. That Noland even considered it is alarming, and points to just how far he and ETSU administrators are willing to kowtow to right-wing pressure to censor left-wing speech.

ETSU is a state university, meaning it is an arm of the government. What Noland essentially has done is forced anyone who wants to engage with left-wing works of art to have their names collected by a state government which has openly tried to censor this work."
