Doctor of Wisconsin makes complaints to wild measles • Wisconsin examiner

This story was published in partnership with the Media and democracy center.

Last month, the Secretary of Health and Social Services (HHS) and the long-standing anti-Vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Epidemia of measles in progress. During his stay in Texas, he met the two families in mourning – as well as two local doctors promoting unproven measles treatments, which he called “Extraordinary healers. “”

After the first death, the defense of children’s health (CHD), the anti-Vax organization, Kennedy, led until recently, pushed her own story by saying that the 6-year-old menonite girl did not actually die. In this effort, coronary disease has strongly supported Pierre KoryA Wisconsin doctor who has both amplified this assertion and said that the measles virus had been armed by unknown conspirators.

Kory is a Kennedy ally who has been widely criticized for having propagated Covid disinformation During the pandemic, in particular by pushing the use of the ivermectin as “miracle drug“To treat this virus.

For years, CHD and Kennedy have promoted demystified affirmation that the standard measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine (MMR) given to almost all children in the United States is linked to autism. With an upsurge in the embrace of the right pandemic of the anti -vacuum movement – and Kennedy himself – there was a notable Decrease in pediatric routine vaccinations in the United States

Now that the measles immunization rates have fallen below the thresholds to maintain the immunity of the herd in certain parts of the country, epidemics such as that of western Texas should become more common. In February, Texas pointed out the first death of the country’s measles in a child in the more than two decades Since the disease has been classified as eradicated in the United States

In response to this death, the CHD published a video On March 19 with Kory and Ben Edwards, another Doctor of Texas Kennedy applauded, discussing the girl’s medical records, which her parents published in the organization.

Despite no training in pediatric medicine and having had its internal medicine and intensive care advice certifications revoked Last year, Kory claimed The death of the child was due to incorrect management of antibiotics of a bacterial pneumonian infection which had “little to do with measles”. Edwards – A family doctor who treated children struck with measles in Texas with drugs Not indicated for measles and has been accused of seeing pediatric patients Actively infected With the measles itself – agree with Kory.

Without being able to examine the medical records themselves, the pediatricians consulted for this article were limited in their criticism of the assessment of Kory. But they questioned his understanding of empirical antibiotics recommendations For pediatric pneumonia. Infections with secondary bacterial pneumonia after viral diseases are common and pneumonia is a well -documented complication of infection of measles.

These doctors have also questioned the strong personal bias that underpins Kory’s evaluation and underlined his history of extreme demands on Covid made online and towards right media as proof against his reliability as “expert”.

In addition, Kory was incoherent in his mailbox around this death of measles during the fight against various audiences. When Alex Morozov, founder of the Eviva Partners counter-proformation group, confronted Kory About his statements concerning the cause of the death of the girl during the so-called “summit for truth and well-being” on March 29, the answer he obtained was very different. During this event, Kory suggested that it was a case of “armed” measles.

In a audio recording From their conversation published by Morozov, Kory said:

Do you want to know the real story about this case? A number of us believe that they armed the measles virus. And this measles is more. They do it on purpose. She has become more sick of measles probably because they went up with the measles virus…. Do you know how many bio-armes laboratories are and what they can do?

Like the unfounded demand for an error in medical treatment, this story “armed with measures” quickly spread throughout the online crankosphere. However, this conspiracy rhetoric was not accompanied by urgent recommendations for an increase in vaccinations to prevent the infection of a more virulent strain.

Kennedy, who has promoted theories of the pandemic conspiracy with the ivermectin as an alternative to the vaccines, called Kory “honest, courageous and sincere” And “A brave dissident doctor. “The doctor appeared with him during various events related to the campaign in the lead period in the 2024 presidential election, before and after RFK Jr. suspended his own campaign and joined Trump to launch the movement” Make America Healthy Again “(Maha).

As the ivermectin proved to be ineffective against Covid, Kory turned on the rescue Arnm vaccines while making fun of Kennedy and CHD. Kory and the ivermectin group he co -founded – the COVID -19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), now called the Independent medical alliance After a change of pro -Maha brand – rallied with Kennedy and CHD several times, including against the mandates of vaccine against the Mortal Omicron wave at the end of 2021 and at the beginning of 2022.

Kory has not only shot the hairstyle vaccines, but also routine vaccinations in childhood in accordance with the established anti-Vax rhetoric of Kennedy and CHD.

In 2023, Kory appeared in a FLCCC webinar On pediatric vaccines entitled “Your child, your choice”. The same year, despite his lack of pediatric references, he was “expert” on the issue of infant vaccinations for the Wisconsin Republicans.

The same year, Kory testified at the Wisconsin Capitole as part of a GOP effort To block the addition of the meningitis vaccine as a state requirement for school -aged children, which is required in many other states and has been recommended by the Center for Disease Control Advisory Council on vaccination practices since 2005. (While Kory and the company have been initially successful, the meningitis vaccine was finally added to the requirements of Wisconsin during the school year 2023/24.).).

During this measles epidemic, Kennedy and Kory again promoted “alternative” treatments.

Kennedy aroused strong criticisms to push Vitamin A As the processing of measles, while not simultaneously providing a fully necessary and full -up approval of ROR vaccines. After the second death, while the HHS secretary properly called the “most effective means” vaccines to prevent measles, he quickly undermined his own declaration. In his funeral tweet, Kennedy Understood A cry to doctors Edwards and Richard Bartlett, his other “extraordinary healer” in Texas, for their use of unproven treatments on children infected in the local community.

On March 31, Kory appeared in another CHD video About the first death of the child in Texas, saying that she should have received intravenous vitamin C, which is unat For measles linked pneumonia. Note, before his co-authority of Doubtful documents On the use of the ivermectin to fight Covid, Kory has co-written Paper since retracted On a cocvid hospital protocol which included vitamin C.

Given his previous declarations on coastal and routine pediatric vaccines as well as his links with Kennedy and coronary disease, Kory would have a direct interest in the death of children after a preventible disease of vaccines. But it is dangerous, warn the experts, during an epidemic of measles where vaccines play a vital role in stopping the propagation of the disease.

A representative of the hospital who treated the first child expressed Against “misleading and inaccurate complaints” on the dissemination of this online affair. “Our doctors and care teams follow protocols based on evidence and make clinical decisions according to the evolutionary state of a patient, diagnostic results and the best available medical knowledge,” said the spokesperson.

Coronary disease did not decide after the second death of pediatric measles at the beginning of last month. The organization Hospital files requested For this case, while offering a free electronic book – with a preface by Kennedy – on “secrets the government and the media do not tell you about measles and the measles vaccine”. The book charge The traditional media of arming epidemics “for political ends”.

In a e-mail To their subscribers on April 7 – the day after the funeral of the second child – CHD announced a webarial event of April 17 entitled “Inside The Recel DECESS” with Kory, Booker and Edwards. The limited event was only available for their donors.

On April 8, CHD tweeted“”Our mission has not changed. The ROR vaccine is dangerous and has caused more deaths than measles ”, a completely unspected affirmation. The next day, Kory returned to Another CHD video To claim to have examined the medical records of the second case and, without surprise, again argued that the 8 -year -old girl did not die from measles. He said:

“It becomes exhausting, this constant of fear by the media. I have already lost so much confidence in the institutions of society. But to see them absent like this on the inaccuracies and the hawking of lies and just distortions, it is terrible. It is terrible for our health.
