Beyond the antivaxx stuff MAHA is either banal or fake

(Seems more appropriate to talk about this in this MAHA thread.)
@jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics:
Ax - You should stop asking him until RFK’s policies have time to metastasize. Presumably LD thinks dead kids is a worse outcome than transed kids so, assuming nobody stops RFK, LD will come around in time.
Just like sometimes some people value certain principles more than life itself (e.g., "give me freedom or give me death," certain cultures would rather their daughters be dead rather than shamed), I have not rule out @LuFins-Dad won't have similarly firm conviction on the trans issue.
The Texas measles outbreak haven't changed the minds of the anti-vaxx parents after all. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/us/politics/vaccine-mandates-covid-measles.html

Yes, but is that due to the pain killers they're given after the totally unnecessary procedure?

The alternative would have been held to a different standard, and would never have been put into the position to defend every decision, down to OMG a bureaucrat bending the framing of a question and getting some obscure fact wrong, and then a dunker on Twitter framing the incorrect fact as wrong by a factor of 10 or 20 omg! because small numbers can be wrong by large factors and still not really that wrong. It's all tedious, we can each choose our own threshold for tedium.

A lot of insurance coverage follows official recommendations. Including Medicaid which covers about half of all children. (Though some states are making allowances for the kooks running policy these days).
For your average kid in Mississippi for example, Kennedy just took away half your vaccines.
