RFK Jr.<\/a>, as part of a monologue against the World Health Organization, asserts that nutrition, sanitation, clean water, and access to healthcare are more important than vaccination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]Sanitation\u00a0is a huge component of public health. Over\u00a02.2 billion<\/a>\u00a0people around the globe are sickened annually, with over\u00a01.5 deaths<\/a>, of which over 500,000 are in children under 5, from diarrheal disease, most of which could have been prevented with\u00a0sanitation\u00a0measures.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0USDA<\/a>, food insecurity is associated with\u00a0chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.\u00a0Providing access to clean water, sanitary\u00a0systems, and nutrition across the globe would be a major benefit to us all.<\/p>\n

But there are many diseases that\u00a0nutrition, sanitation, and clean water cannot prevent. Two\u00a0significant causes<\/a>\u00a0of death in children worldwide, rotavirus, a diarrheal disease, and pneumonia are both thought to be spread through the air. And both can be prevented or mitigated through vaccination.\u00a030 million deaths from\u00a0measles<\/a>, also airborne, have been prevented in 20 years of immunization.<\/p>\n

It is not a matter of vaccines or nutrition and sanitation; vaccines are an integral part of public health, and together, all these interventions lead to a healthier population.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
