American vaccination rates against once-common childhood diseases have been dropping. The rate of kindergartners with complete records for the measles vaccine declined from before the pandemic to last year, according to the CDC, well before Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s political rise. https://nyti.ms/42buOVp

“But immunization rates had been falling for years before Mr. Kennedy’s recent political rise.”
Fact: RFK Jr was anti-immunization years before his recent political rise.
🤦♂️
you should change your name to the New York Lies
The kids of antivaxers dying just seems like Darwinism at work.

Go on. We’ll wait.
NY Times: How can we spin this tragic story into a defense of a very powerful idiot?
Hey, at least you know your strengths!
“In the summer of 2005, Rolling Stone and Salon simultaneously published “Deadly Immunity,” a 4,700-word story on mercury in vaccines written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”

Y'all's journalistic and editorial standards are crap now and I'm glad I don't pay you money. Get it the fk together, man.
2005 rfkjr wrote his antivax garbage published in Rolling Stone magazine
he has been on this crusade for a long time
Was instrumental in stopping Samoan measles vaccination program which resulted in 83 deaths
rfkjr is an antivax crackpot
DO NOT CONFIRM
No matter how you frame it, he’s still just a grifter out to harm Americans.
But, you know, ‘Merica.
Anyone that tells me "I did my own research" gets asked - oh, tell me about your lab, staff, and give me at least three of your key publications
freak the @nytimes.com

So, go fuck yourselves with this bullshit sane-washing.
And these assholes wonder why legacy media is dying.

I would have to assume your data shows vaccine uptake is lower in poor or rural areas for that claim to be true.
The parents are just following along with whatever alternative truth makes their world easier and more comprehensible
Generally, they're victims of cynical leadership at all levels
Remember what I said @ being born last wk? Did you know JFK Jr was agitating against vaccines BEFORE "his political rise" what 4 yrs ago? Guy you never mention (ok 23rd graf) is funded by GOP?
So WITAF? You wonder why we spit @ you?
So Again, G.F.Y. however u c fit
And if the rest of the kids are vaccinated, there should be very little risk involved, no?
Also is it all vaccines you demand children to take? The last one we saw, did nothing for children but increase the chance of blood clots. But you want to force this?
Their logic 🤯
Sheesh
Never forget there’s a whole contingent of “liberals who think they know better“ who don’t vaccinate their kids.
These are the same people who think Emily Oster is a genius and not a grifter

Maybe someone with a lot of political sway made some outrageous statements about vaccines that year, for some reason…

But the parents are fine!
Oy vey...what a world.
"In a study of verified Twitter accounts from 2021, researchers found Kennedy’s personal Twitter account was the top “superspreader” of vaccine misinformation . . . " That was before his "political career." https://apnews.com/article/robert-f-kennedy-vaccines-trump-rfkjr-7f8dcb25de76a5a70710d22bbc63f6fa
Bold strategy.
