Doctors worried RFK Jr. will tout vaccine-skeptic views after he is picked for HHS secretary
Doctors are worried Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will tout anti-vaccine views after he was picked to lead the Department of Health and Human Services by Trump.
Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment as head of the Department of Health and Human Services has reignited concerns over his vaccine-skeptic views.
Kennedy, who has previously promoted debunked claims linking vaccines to autism and criticized COVID-19 vaccines, is seen by experts as a “vaccine cynic” undermining trust in vaccine safety.
Health officials worry his leadership could worsen declining vaccination rates, already linked to rising measles and whooping cough cases.
Experts fear Kennedy’s influence may lead to unqualified leadership appointments at health agencies and deepen vaccine hesitancy among parents.
Good let the dumb die.
I’d be fine with that, but those degenerates have kids that they won’t vaccinate. That sucks for everyone.
Unfortunately the dumb usually survive, and the vulnerable die.
So nothing changes, this is America don't get caught slipping.
This is the hard truth. Folks like RFK Jr can afford to isolate and live comfortably. People in the service sector, people with landlords aggressively hiking rents, people with student and medical and cost-of-living debts, people with aging relatives and young kids to support - they don't have a choice. They show up to work, suffer the risks of exposure, and carry it back home to vulnerable family members.
No, we need herd immunity
It's too late for herd immunity, the general population forgot how it was before vaccines and it is just triage at this point.
Hey now, America just had an election to decide whether vaccines work and they decided that they don't. Respect democracy!
I hope he doesn't mess with the essential vaccines. What I'm hoping for is him getting rid of all the dyes we have in our foods that add nothing but harm.
