Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist, seeks access to federal health data to challenge vaccine safety and potentially lead to their removal from the market. This raises concerns among public health experts about severe health consequences, especially for children, and the potential waste of resources on debunked theories. Despite Kennedy’s lack of medical expertise and the potential for misinformation, Trump has indicated his support for Kennedy’s role in a potential second administration.
No. It’s all about them, and their ignorance, which they believe should be given the same deference as our knowledge.
Vaccines have been in wide use for decades. They are effective. While they may have side effects, they pale in comparison to the harm that contracting the disease can cause. The findings are solid, especially for the ones that have been in use for decades like measles and polio. That son-of-a-bridge and his brain worm are not going to add anything worthwhile to the discussion.
Even the new ones with a small track record, like the COVID vaccine, shouldn’t be considered to be rushed. It was the result of pharma companies and government pouring as much money as possible into getting a safe vaccine as fast as possible, due to the profound human tragedy the virus caused. When money is no object, things can be done quickly and safely.
