What the hell is wrong with people? Okay, Kennedy has monetised his professional ‘skepticism’ to an incredibly lucrative degree, but millions have been persuaded to buy into this crap - to the detriment of their own and their families’ health, and they don’t even make money out of it.

How much does a vaccine cost in Texas ? In France its free.

melodyschreiber.com•9 days ago

It’s more than $100 if you don’t have insurance. At the health department it’s probably free in affected counties.

Gee, who could have seen this coming.

Would it be the job of the HHS secretary to increase production and supply of the MMR vaccine when demand exceeds supply?

Oh wait he’s increasing Vitamin A and cod liver oil supplies. That’s the same right?

HHS could definitely enter into contracts with vaccine manufacturers to boost supply (and ensure it doesn't run low in the future). It takes a little time to make vaccines, but it would certainly be a good investment. Or... he could talk about taking vitamins

Amazing that Kennedy gave permission!

I wrote about that on Thursday! The going theory is that he's playing the long game by talking about vaccines at all

He’s spending our tax dollars attempting to prove that vaccines cause autism. He needs to be removed. Polio is next.

Travis county, which contains most of Austin, had 89.61% rate of MMR vaccination among kindergartners in 2023 – down from 95.5% in 2020. That's a pretty significant drop in just a few years. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/08/texas-mmr-vaccine-measles-outbreak
