RFK Jr is telling senate Republicans that he’s actually ‘all for’ vaccines
Kennedy has suggested, contrary to scientific consensus, that certain vaccines are connected to childhood autism, asthma and developmental impairment
Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his vaccine skepticism, is attempting to reassure Senate Republicans ahead of his confirmation hearing as President Trump’s nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary.
Kennedy claims he supports vaccine safety and is "all for" vaccines like the polio vaccine, a notable shift from past controversial comments suggesting vaccines cause autism or other health issues.
While some senators express cautious optimism, critics highlight his history of promoting anti-vaccine rhetoric, warning his confirmation could undermine public confidence in vaccines.
His hearing is set for January 29.
“He told me he is not anti-vaccine. He is pro-vaccine safety, which strikes me as a rational position to take,” Senator John Cornyn told Politico.
This is the oldest trick in the book. "No I'm not anti-vaccine, I'm pro safe vaccines!" Then proceeds to explain how none are "safe" and we "need more research"
I'm also pro-president, but only pro-rational-presidents
calls Luigi
Sadly, rational is relative.
Mario is a plumber. Luigi is a social plumber.
Remembering how Kavanaugh swore that Roe v Wade is precedent
Sometimes you have too much to drink and you say things you don't mean. And who among us hasn't been at a job interview for a lifetime appointment unable stop yelling about getting shit faced? It happens.
Then refuses to fund more research
Classic denialist scheme - moving the goalposts. It's like the evolution deniers - "we don't have 'the missing link'"! Someone points them to all the many transitional fossils. Denialist: "Yeah, but what about all the missing links between all of THOSE?"
If we did all of medicine the way the crazy antivaxxer nuts want to do vaccines, we'd have nothing on our shelves. Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil....fuhgeddaboutitt.
And the "safe" ones are made with dog shit and industrial waste, sold by his quack friends.
This is called lying
Elon Musk: “Autism causes Fascism!”
RFK Jr: “Vaccines cause autism!”
Republican senators: “Turns out we like vaccines after all!”The funny thing is that in my experience autism seems to grant a good bit of resistance to fascism. I broke my way out of the anti-SJW phase because Trump is an insipid sub-human waste of space. I couldnt stand anyone praising him, also I just hate Peterson as well and fucking couldnt stand anyone mentioning him.
He petitioned against the COVID vaccines in 2021 and pushed ivermectin. Got kids killed in samoa
Fuck him with a pineapple ala little nicky. Literally he is evil. He deserves life in prison to be kind. He will burn in hell for his violence against his common man.
Didn't he just resign from his role at an anti-vaccine non profit like today or yesterday?
Man we need proper news reporting and journalism back.
It wouldn't matter because the Senate will just pretend like he's a reasonable nominee regardless of his past actions or current beliefs.
He's all for vaccines
Just like I'm all for trump... to die in a dumpster fire
NO, HE IS NOT. The article is written from a place of ignorance, stop sharing it.
Here is a rebuttal submitted to the author:
In your recent article you showcase a term that Robert F. Kennedy is using to appeal for access to the US healthcare system: "pro-vaccine safety." In the article this is called a "screeching U-turn." I am writing to you today to explain that it is not.
In his book titled "The Real Anthony Fauci" Robert F. Kennedy uses the same term "pro vaccine safety" as he claims that the hundreds of millions of MMR vaccines safely distributed over the past decades - amounting in millions of lives improved - is not enough for him to believe the vaccine to be safe and effective. In ignoring such overwhelming evidence it becomes clear that claiming to be "pro vaccine safety" is a cover for RFK's desire to dismantle one of the most significant public health improvements in American history. When articles such as yours are written indicating a change in posture, it aids RFK in rebranding his anti vaccine conspiracies to be more palatable while he yearns for control of this country-accross-the-pond's public health systems.
And these dinosaurs are just senile enough to believe it
No, they don't believe him; they just don't care and this gives them plausible deniability
I am not all for not allowing vaccines to not be banned.
He can make it all sound good and rational, but what he thinks underneath is nutso.
Brainworms is lying.
One of the things I hate most about the fucker is that I can't enjoy listening to Maggot Brain anymore.
By the Emperor, this heretic is an agent of Nurgle in disguise!
