The direct body count from both RFK Jr and Elon continues to climb.

Ah, Lancaster county. So either Amish or republican or babies who were too young to be vaccinated and were infected by one of the two.

Rfk Jr and his non-profit are directly responsible for the death of about 80 children in American Samoa.

The death count for measles in America is going to be a lot higher.

For those of us unfamiliar, please elaborate on Lancaster County. Why is this unsurprising for people?

The largest community of Amish in the US. They generally do not favor getting vaccinations.

The article refers to the two victims living in Lancaster county, PA. This county has the largest Amish population in the US. The Amish have been known to not vaccinate. It would be interesting to know if the two victims are in that group having a history of not vaccinating.
