RFK, Jr.: Anti-vax HHS Secretary

[Huckleberry]

Cassidy knew exactly who Kennedy was and still voted to confirm him. The senator should apologize for his mistake and call for RFK Jr's removal.

This is absolute anti-science lunacy. Children will die if people take this nonsense seriously. There is no rational "yes, but" response to this statement from Trump's government.

Hmmm... In fact, reams of peer reviewed evidence published over decades in many different studies, by many different groups, in many different countries definitively prove vaccines are not a primary cause of autism. A substantial body of work shows that around 80% of the risk is genetic with a variety of environmental risk factors contributing lesser amounts of risk.

But let us say that vaccines do occasionally result in some risk of injury that adds to the complicated etiology of most cases of autism. Say 5% of cases... Which is more than the current body of research suggests could possibly be the case. If we stop all vaccination, the mortality alone, not even considering the morbidity of so many infections, would dwarf the number of cases of autism.

this moron should no longer be taken seriously

I hope the retweets blasted him for his part in confirming this nonsense. He's part of the problem in DC as well. Should have taken a real stand when he had the chance.

Kennedy Says He Told C.D.C. to Change Website’s Language on Autism and Vaccines​

Kennedy’s actions endanger the health and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults. I hope caring and responsible Republicans/conservatives will speak up against this and other examples of the secretary’s unscientific and conspiracy-based foolishness.

Wouldn't it be a delicious bit of karma if RFK Jr died of measles, covid, or whooping cough?

He can't because he was vaccinated as a child...

Yes... If only we had an "antiviral" compound for the measles since we otherwise have no way to control it... I mean an antiviral that works 99% of the time would be the way to go!
