Established medicine has traditionally avoided political controversy allowing charlatans like Children’s Health Defense to lead the narrative.

The most recent statement on vaccines by the American College of
Pediatricians is June 2020 and that was about COVID.

The ACP needs to state the facts

The measles outbreak is definitely more complicated than just RFK Jr.

But it's pretty undeniable that a surge in anti-vaccine sentiment, driven by RFK Jr and Children's Health Defense, has made the outbreaks so much worse.

He, because of his last name, has immense influence and he's peddled this bullshit for what, decades now? So to now blame the actual doctors for these kids' deaths is abhorrent

The Toronto Star published a short article on the Canadian measles situation which is also bad, especially in southern Ontario and Quebec. In Ontario they state it’s mostly in Mennonite and Amish families. God decides.

The religious angle is similar in the states. But when you worsen already-bad vaccination rates amongst the Mennonites (and other groups) and compound it with a growing vaccine hostility in the general population, that gives you our current problem.

Yes, agree.

Oh my goodness, she is fundraising off the deaths of those poor kids? Absolutely shameful.

This shit is crazy. I will never understand how they can be ok with killing children.

I was about to share this and then didn't want anyone to read the propaganda they're putting out and feel worried about vaccines. So gross, what they're doing - preying on parent fears to hurt children and families.

@justinling.ca Please don't use the word "Kennedy" for the person known as RFKjr who has basically been dishowned by the real Kennedy family.

The Kennedys were a crime family like the Trumps. Old Joe was a mobster and a monster.

Listening to Bigger & Blacker on loop at 17 means I permanently hear Chris Rock saying “They were drug dealers! They killed cops and kids, and that’s cool.”

Sadly, this seems to be par for the course.
