TEXAS: Anti-Vax Republican State Rep Claims Measles Can Be Treated With Antibiotics (It Totally Cannot)
Texas state Representative Bill Zedler doesn’t understand the fuss over the resurgence of infectious diseases.
“When I grew up, I had a lot of these illnesses,” he said, listing measles, mumps and chickenpox.
“They wanted me to stay at home. But as far as being sick in bed, it wasn’t anything like that,” said Zedler, an outspoken anti-vaxxer and longtime member of the House Public Health Committee who has worked in the health-care industry.
“They want to say people are dying of measles. Yeah, in third-world countries they’re dying of measles,” Zedler said, shaking his head.
“Today, with antibiotics and that kind of stuff, they’re not dying in America.”
