Solution: Don't lie to people.
Completely agree - you shouldn't lie to people. But the solution is a couple of decades in vaccine science purgatory to atone for the CDC's politics in 2020? (under Trump's nose, no less).

His opening comment shows just how stupid he is.
"When RFK was born, there were 3 vaccines..........."
Okay. When Abraham Lincoln was born, there were zero vaccines and zero kids diagnosed with autism.
Obviously people were more healthy back then. I bet the lifespan was 150 years +
-
He says there were 3 vaccines for kids and now there are 76. There are 15.
He says this is because of what happened in 1986. Back then, the under-5 mortality rate was 14 in 1,000. It has since been cut in half (7 in 1,000). I wonder why.
For autism, I have no idea but I bet the rates are increasing because of increased awareness and finer-tuned diagnosis requirements.

I personally have no problem with vaccines. At the same time, I don’t believe the pharmaceutical companies should have such a wide ranging protection.

I agree.
150 years ago, how many people were diagnosed and died from (for example) Parkinsons? MS? ALS?

I know several people, including some family, who labeled their kids as having Aspergers to explain why they weren't succeeding at whatever. It was a HUGE mistake. Stick that label on a kid and he will underperform forever.

When I was a kid the kids who today would be given ADHD diagnoses were labeled ‘hyperactive’ if not just ‘troublemaker’.

I think labels and diagnoses are not bad in themselves, but too many parents and children can't differentiate between "category" and "excuse."

Be more explicit - the CDC lied about masks therefore we’re going to put a generation of children at risk, many of whom will die.
Can someone - anyone - walk me through the logic here? Jolly?
If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

What’s really sad is Trump’s people pandering to a whack job like RFK over this issue in order to gain the crunchy nut flake vote.
-
I think you’ll probably see them remove the protections for the vaccine manufacturers. Depending on the limits, I don’t find that unreasonable. There will also likely be some new studies. Not sure that I like that very much. I think we all can agree that we’ve seen how bias can affect studies…

Yeah, sort of hoping the blanket anti-vax stuff doesn't actually make it into any meaningful policy decisions.
tbh, I'd even been wondering if the RFK/Trump alliance could make it all the way through to the election...Kennedy has a real 'big business=bad' kind of way about him. How long into an administration could it be before heads but, and Trumps latest best bud, becomes another 'lame brain' that had to get fired?
-
I think it’s highly possible he’ll dump RFK once he becomes inconvenient. Let’s hope so, at least.
“RFK, go away, what more do I have to say?”

After the pro-vax side used its rhetorical currency to force people to take the jab, on penalty of economic death, the appeal of the anti-vax side spread far wider than crunchy soccer moms.
