How measles, whooping cough, and worse could roar back on RFK Jr.’s watch
Inoculation campaigns that protect children and adults from dangerous diseases rely on a delicate web of state and federal laws and programs. If senior officials cast doubt on vaccine safety, the whole system might collapse, especially in red states.
Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as the top U.S. health official under Donald Trump has alarmed public health experts, who fear his anti-vaccine stance could lead to outbreaks of diseases like measles, polio, and meningitis.
Kennedy has promoted debunked vaccine-autism theories and may weaken federal vaccination programs, delay new vaccines, and undermine immunization requirements.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are already rising, with 16 U.S. measles outbreaks this year.
Experts warn that declining vaccination rates threaten public health, while drug companies and vaccine advocates brace for significant challenges under the new administration.

It’s absolutely bonkers that there are folks that have completely fallen for the “vaccines are bad“ narrative. Who would’ve thought, right? “We got abortion, immigrants, trans kids,… What else can we throw into the mix? Vaccines is a funny word…“
I had a Republican client tell me the other day that the Democrats want to allow abortion at eight months. That’s what she believes. I have really great relationships with my clients, and they’re generally really nice people. It really infuriates me and makes me sad.
The worst part is it will take way longer than we expect to turn on him. This will be treated like everything else, and the excuses will pile up. The blame shifted, and the media is lying, democrats making this worse than it is. it's going to take way more people to suffer than probably should before we return to a majority and say enough is enough. I truly hate these people...
Maybe anyone who listens to him should suffer the consequences of doing that. I just feel bad for anyone who is vaccinated and still gets sick, or the immunocompromised who cannot get vaccinated for some things. Here’s some info on that https://health.clevelandclinic.org/can-immunocompromised-get-vaccines
Not to mention that the odds of harmful mutation increase dramatically with a larger population to circulate in. These people are playing with fire, and they're going to blow us all the fuck up.
He will say it's because of immigrants eating pets, because of Obama/Biden.
