Anti-Vaxxers Are Grifting Off the Measles Outbreak--and Claim a Bioweapon Caused It
Source: Wired
Anti-vaccine activists with close ties to US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are falsely claiming that the measles public health crisis in Texas is caused by a bioweapon targeting the Mennonite community. These activists are now trying to sell their followers a range of pseudo-scientific curessome purportedly powered by artificial intelligencethat supposedly prevent customers from contracting measles.
The claims were made in a webinar posted online last week and hosted by Mikki Willis, an infamous conspiracy filmmaker best known for his Plandemic series of pseudo-documentaries. These helped supercharge COVID-19 disinformation online and were, Kennedy has said, funded in part by Childrens Health Defense (CHD), an anti-vaccine group Kennedy founded. Willis also created a video for Kennedy marking the announcement of his independent run for the presidency.

The webinar was hosted by Rebel Lion, the supplement company that Willis cofounded. On the website, and prominently featured under the webinar, Willis sells and recommends a measles treatment and prevention protocol full of supplements and tools on the site. On the webinar, Willis claimed the protocol will help parents get prepped for, if God forbid this does get out, and their children get sick. Together, purchasing the full protocol costs hundreds of dollars.

Kennedy also praised doctors last month in an interview on Fox News who have been using alternative and unproven treatments within the Mennonite community. Among those doctors is Richard Bartlett, who also appeared on Williss webinar last week and is credited on the Rebel Lion site with sharing the measles protocol package for purchase.
