RFK Jr made this decision like a dictator.

He bypassed all the protocols of HHS decision-making for a decision this consequential - and deadly.

Reposted from Maggie Astor

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

RFK has to go

Honest question - if he did decide this and a pregnant person gets denied the vaccine and then has a COVID related complication or worse death of the fetus, can he be sued for responsibility?!?

Don't know. Need a lawyer.

Currently, there are more than 300 deaths from Covid in the US every week. This will only worsen things.

And yet last week RJKJr said he's not a doctor and we shouldn't take advice from him.

And that Basic Lack of Understanding on how Agencies Work is the Problem! It is a Dictatorship! Not a Democracy! Don’t like it Quit!

This is on the review committee that passed this clown as being fit for the role.

Republicans are trying to kill and debilitate Americans. What they hope to have left to rule over but their neofeudal Dark Ages sadistic fantasies is pretty damn unclear.

I figured it out ... the source of COVID was Trump and his co-conspirators. Millions died. And now they are bringing it back. It's seems so obvious. /s
