RFK Jr has announced some of his new appointments to the CDC vaccine advisory committee. One of them is with NVIC, a notriously anti-vax disinformation factory. They still tie vaccines to autism, a completely discredited notion that of course RFK still clings to. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...

“People came over to help and got me on the curb. A medic was called, who cut off my clothes. In my leg was what felt like a five centimeter hole with muscle hanging out of it and blood all down my leg. The medic put a tourniquet on it, and a journalist I was with took me to ER.”

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
