Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, has a history of extreme rhetoric and conspiracy theories about vaccines.
In previously unreported comments at autism conferences, Kennedy likened vaccination programs to Catholic Church abuse scandals and Nazi death camps and argued for jailing vaccine scientists.
He has falsely claimed vaccines cause autism and accused public health agencies like the CDC of corruption and hiding vaccine dangers.
Critics fear his leadership could dismantle vaccine safety efforts, decrease public trust, and disrupt public health policy.
You're viewing a single thread.
Fuck the vaccines cause autism argument. Like even if it were true. I'm autistic. You're telling me you'd rather your child die than be like me? Speaks volumes to how much hate you have both for people like me and your own child.
Also (without wanting to belittle your condition), if the choice is between autism and life in an iron lung, I'd take autism.
Can't speak for everyone, I'm quite high functioning. But 100% same.
Thimerosal was already removed from most childhood vaccines in the U.S. and Europe more than a decade ago.
I don't get what RFK is trying to change.
His cabinet is very much going to be operating on a vibes basis, and his base will judge him in a similar basis as well. There's no rational thought going on.
