RFK is spreading misinformation

RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

Sadly our own UK politicians are no better.
Are you aware of any changes to UK Covid policy since Labour came to power? I've seen nothing.
They're as gormless/gutless as the Tories from where I'm sitting.

Disgrace

Good god, he's another walking, talking, think-tank. This is clearly Brownstone Institute propaganda, stating that the vaccines cause deaths but a disease does not in an indirect way, idea being to just create an endless debate which achieves absolutely nothing.

martandelus.bsky.social•63 days ago

Well, it achieves nothing on the societal level for the spread of measles, but will ensure that avoidable conditions through vaccination aren't avoided, which means more money spent on treatments, RFK really is an evil ghoul.

the world cannot understand why anyone this f’n stupid could ever be put in a position like this where he will literally endanger the health of millions of anericans

How many of the parents withholding vaccines from their children are vaccinated? And, how many of those are autistic?

cris143.bsky.social•64 days ago

Now this is what I object too… giving airtime to a man who’s power and views will cause unnecessary death and harm, for ratings!

lrrenner.bsky.social•63 days ago

This is slick. 😬 The plausible deniability! "We should let people choose...between the vaccine (which does harm) & catching & spreading measles (which is safe)." Kennedy's rec'd choice seems obvious, but he doesnt say it directly. How do we (cognitively) inoculate people against this misinformation?

redhair-bluesoul.bsky.social•63 days ago

RFK lies. The vaccine would never have been approved if it killed. All of these are lies. Every vaccine is monitored in perpetuity after approval, as are all prescription medications. I know. I am a pharmacist. He is a lunatic.

helen-clegg.bsky.social•64 days ago

I can see how he may sound plausible to those that want to believe and who can't or won't access accurate information. It's why he and his movement are so terrifying- they've convinced themselves they're not liars!

epp-97.bsky.social•63 days ago

Those are probably the people who say “listen to what he says, not what the media propaganda is telling you!”. Like m’am I HAVE listened to him- he’s full of shit because I’ve heard him speak and he’s had to have been fact checked for years 😒

I wouldn't take health advice from a guy who sounds like he has one foot in the grave!⚰️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙💛

I can't decide if he's really this stupid or whether this is actually disinformation.

jgbrowning.bsky.social•64 days ago

The conjunction is 'and', not 'or.' He is both really that stupid and actually promulgating disinformation.

1974... Robert F. Kennedy Jr, 17‐year‐old son of the late New York Senator, charged today after he allegedly spat ice cream into a policeman's face. He was arrested last night, about two weeks after his probation ended for a marijuana offense.

Hope they’ll all be held responsible when the time comes.

bowl200.bsky.social•63 days ago

More like disinformation. Including untruths excluding truths. Creating false dichotomies etc.

Isn't that disinformation? Much more egregious than mere ignorance.

RFK Jr is trying to get kids killed.

aussieboroboy.bsky.social•62 days ago

Has anyone considered that RFK might be a eugenicist?
His party see lower socio-economic classes as a burden. Is his vaccine disinformation an attempt to wipe-out the 'burden?
I'd bet money he and his family are all vaccinated .

francienh9.bsky.social•64 days ago

I did not know that children develop a rash from the measles vaccine. When I got an extra dose as an adult, I can not remember having had a rash (or a temperature, or any other symptoms).

helen-clegg.bsky.social•64 days ago

Sometimes but rarely.

liberalukgeek.bsky.social•63 days ago

Lying?
