This year in Congo there have been 97,000 cases of measles. More than 2,100 people, almost all of them children, died from the disease. Vaccines are not available in Congo.
Robert Kennedy, Jr., was overheard to say, “Well, at least they won’t be autistic.”
The statistics are from Stephanie Nolen and Arlette Bashizi, “A Stubborn Enemy Stalks the Children of Congo,” New York Times, (Dec. 19, 2024), pp. A1, A12.
