What Does Measles Have To Do With Fauci? It’s Fear Porn, And More

By now, most of you have probably seen RFK Jr.’s interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, which occurred on the Sunday after Fauci pleaded the 5^th over 100 times in his Congressional testimony. We heard from many of Dr. Tenpenny’s followers, who thoroughly enjoyed seeing RFK Jr. absolutely challenge Bash on many fronts.

I was right there with you, basking in said glory, but I noticed that during the interview, they kept the measles fear porn banner posted. At the time (I watched it live), I wondered: What does Fauci have to do with measles?

Now we know. The press was doing what they think is their job: trying to get ahead of the narrative when  it’s not going to go their way. We think their job is delivering the truth to Americans, but they’re beholden to their biggest funders, the pharmaceutical companies,  and will say whatever is necessary to keep them happy.

Bash and her cronies certainly must have known that Trump was going to issue an Executive Order recommending changes to the MMR vaccine, and they took the opportunity ahead of time to do what they could to discredit RFK Jr. on every front.

Trump did issue the Executive Order on August 10, 2026. Read it here.

We’ve Endured the Hysteria for Months

For many months now, since early 2025, we have endured the MSM’s hype and hysteria over measles cases. It started with the case in Texas, where a young girl supposedly died of measles but later, whistleblowers came forward stating the girl was hospitalized with multiple life-threatening issues, and that measles was really the least of her worries.

Dr. Tenpenny interviewed Brian Hooker during this time, and he reminded everyone that BEFORE the MMR vaccine was introduced, the mortality for measles was 2 in 10,000 cases.

As many in Dr. T’s social chats said, having the measles as a kid was like a bad flu for a couple of days and then back to school. They got rest in a dark room, hydration and Vitamin A. Done.

The MSM can hype a 35-year high, but here’s the translation of that fear porn banner. It’s a 35-year high of a miniscule amount of measles cases. As of August 2026, the United States has recorded 2,465 confirmed measles cases, making this “the worst year for measles transmission in 35 years because the count has already surpassed the 2025 count of 2,289.”  Oh my gosh…we’re all gonna die—that’s what they want you to think.

Actually, no one is going to die of measles, but they might die with measles, like the unfortunate case of the little Texas girl. The CDC uses phrases like, “we are actively tracking 38 distinct outbreaks across the country.” See how they do it? Trying to strike fear at every turn. OK, so we have 38 people with the measles. Big deal. And maybe they gave it to a couple people. Big deal. “Children and teenagers are the hardest hit,” they say, “because 68% of the cases occur in kids 19 or younger. And 93% of these kids are unvaccinated!” And there it is. Of course, buried in the fine print is this, too: “Fortunately, no measles-related deaths have been reported so far this year.”

Here’s my theory: the MSM of course knows that RFK Jr. is a formidable and extremely knowledgeable force, as is President Trump. They know their time is limited, and they have to do all they can to help their Big Pharma masters who keep them on the air via paid advertising.

The MMR vaccine is mandated for school-aged children in all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., and laws require proof of vaccination before children can enroll in daycare, kindergarten, and elementary school.  But, all 50 states do allow medical exemptions for children with valid medical complications like severe allergies or weakened immune systems, and 45 states allow religious exemptions. Only five states (California, New York, Maine, Mississippi, and West Virginia) do not allow any religious or personal belief exemptions.

West Virginia has a pending state Supreme Court case regarding whether families can claim a religious exemption; parents sued after school officials refused to recognize religious exemption. There is a permanent injunction in favor of students, and the case is expected to be decided in 2026.

Connecticut should technically be on this list, but the MSM left it off. In 2021, Connecticut enacted Public Act 21-6, eliminating the religious exemption from vaccination requirements for students attending public and private schools, colleges, and child-care programs. Before that change, parents could claim that vaccination conflicted with their or their child’s religious beliefs, and students with existing exemptions prior to the 2021 ruling were grandfathered in.

The MSM is afraid that if parents know the truth, they’ll exercise these exemptions. Even worse, what if Trump blows up the whole vaccine schedule? More about that later.

California 2014, Version 2.0

In December 2014, a measles outbreak began in California’s Disneyland theme park. Look at this sentence: Public health officials traced the source to an unknown infected individual who visited Disneyland or Disney California Adventure Park. Translation: there was a patient zero but we don’t know who it is, however this person certainly had measles. Before all was said and done, cases “spread” to 16 US states. Total US cases: 159. It also spread to Canada. Total cases: 150 cases. So, we are talking around 300 cases TOTAL, but again, the narrative was that most victims were unvaccinated. This small event had a profound effect on rising vaccine hesitancy rates and rising rates of parents seeking non-medical exemptions for school-aged children. THIS was the event in California that allowed their Senate to pass Bill 277 in 2015, eliminating religious and personal belief exemptions. It stands to this day, over 10 years later.

Here’s my colleague Dr. Henry Ealy talking about being a Californian during this time.
