RFK Jr. could further deter childhood vaccinations as rates fall in the U.S.
RFK Jr. could further deter childhood vaccinations as rates fall in the U.S.
Some health policy experts say Kennedy's early moves as HHS Secretary are concerning and suggest that he could undermine immunizations in less direct ways.
What is he trying to achieve here?
He probably believes that vaccines are bad and people should eat healthier.
So he's been given control of health care to dismantle it rather than be given control of the department of agriculture where he would push for better food practices.
His job as the Fourth horseman of the apocalypse? 🤷♂️
In terms of politics, "the freedom to choose" not to vaccinate.
The "saner" arguments of the anti-vax movement is parents and individuals should have the right to not vaccinate.
But bare in mind that these arguments are rooted in the same conservative arguments: rules apply to YOU. They don't apply to ME. I am a Christian and therefore know what's best. The law exists to protect me from YOU and allow ME to punish YOU.
Bottom line is that this isn't about vaccinations as much as it is about allowing conservatives to ignore government regulations that have been oPpReSsInG tHeM.
Herd immunity? Or just to kill as many people as possible.
Reducing vaccinations reduces herd immunity though.
Heh. If anything Bobby Brainworms and his ilk are doing everything possible to end herd immunity for several diseases.
You guys know that RFK jr. wrote an article in Rolling Stone that basically introduced America to Andrew Wakefield, the doctor who did the "study" that linked vaccines to autism? While it's true that anti-vaxers have been a thing almost since the founding of the Republic, it was niche until RFK, Wakefield, and finally Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carry (with the help of Socials) took it mainstream and fomented the movement we see today.
If only there was some kind of defensive immune response our society could have against this toxic infection called RFK.
I need to make a meme with how we thought nurgle followers look versus what they actually look like. The fact he has a brain worm really lines up.
"Could".
