Woah! Fox News just did the unthinkable and called out a Trump accomplice

2025 has turned out to be a year full of surprises, but one thing I certainly didn’t see coming, even in my wildest dreams, was Fox News, of all channels, calling out members of the Trump administration. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know they are the biggest Trump supporters who are always unashamedly defending the Orange Cheeto Man who reigns over them.

Recently, a piece of news that has gone viral on social media has caught a lot of attention due to its shocking nature. In a clip from a segment of Fox & Friends on Fox News, the channel’s medical contributor, Dr. Nicole Saphier, was seen discussing the causes of the increasing measles outbreaks in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and linking them to lower vaccination rates. Although she didn’t name anyone specifically, she indirectly pointed to United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a reason for the drop in vaccination rates that have led to these outbreaks. During the segment, Saphier stated:

“This is somewhat expected as we see declining vaccination rates. United States is in jeopardy of losing the elimination status of measles for the first time since 2000, once it was declared.”

For those who have been keeping an eye on the developments of the Trump administration and everything that has happened since his appointment, it’s evident that many of his associates are heavily influenced by conspiracy theories, including RFK Jr., whose thoughts should be the farthest from them. In the context of the measles outbreak, RFK Jr. is one of the people who has expressed highly conflicting views on the topic. He advocates for vaccination while also rebuking it, creating a mental maze for the American people. He has made various statements endorsing the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine on multiple occasions, but he also consistently gives the impression that vaccination is a personal choice, leaving the decision to parents and healthcare professionals.

RFK Jr. has been a long-time vaccine sceptic, and his scepticism isn’t just related to measles vaccination. In case you forgot, he emerged as one of the most vocal critics of vaccines during the COVID-19 period, where he questioned the legitimacy of tested vaccines while thousands of Americans were suffering. RFK Jr.’s peculiar beliefs are not just limited to vaccines; his troubled mind contains a lot of additional ideas, including the absurd theory that pregnant women taking Tylenol for pain relief give birth to children with autism.
