Fox: We're seeing rising numbers of measles cases. To be honest, this is somewhat expected as we see declining vaccination rates. Unfortunately, the way things are going right now with the CDC and the current vaccination advisory committees, we're seeing even more mistrust and confusion.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
