RFK Jr will do to the U.S. what he did to Samoa - all to make a buck. Please watch this if you haven’t.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Such a piece of shit. If his last name was MyPillow, he would have been laughed out of relevance years ago.

Haha. He’s a man like trump that never added value except people saw the name and thought money.

RFK Jr is the unvaccinated Trojan horse in the Senate's confirmation process, and we all know how that story ends

shapelessspirit.bsky.social•89 days ago

All of his children were vaccinated.

darthjoey91.bsky.social•88 days ago

He almost certainly was vaccinated for polio as a kid, and is old enough to have met people crippled by it.

maryburrell.bsky.social•88 days ago

And there’s nothing anyone can do about it. That worm brain infested bastard is going to be the death of many Americans.

Just like trump, RFK, these fools have completely closed minds, unwilling/unable to change and respond to facts and reality-maybe what trump sees in RFK

josiegypsy.bsky.social•89 days ago

They know...and they approve.

thestacyleigh.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yeah, but only fools who fall for conspiracy theories will listen to him. The rest of us will get vaccinated, wear masks’ and take precautions. Kind of thinning the heard that we need, tbh.

Frightening.

After that, the senators can ask some questions about RFK, Jr.’s role in a food crisis he caused in Sri Lanka.

adria88.bsky.social•89 days ago

Unfortunately, a kid (or many of them) need to die for the anti vax crowd to realize their beliefs put their families and communities at risk.
Mumps, measles and rubella (German measles) cause death and disability. Polio causes death and disability. Covid killed over one million Americans.

fanofwalt.bsky.social•89 days ago

Many, MANY kids have already died from gun shootings and that hasn’t prompted any safety response from the NRA nor from Congress to stop that madness.

I expect kid deaths from disease will be similarly regarded by the 47 admin.

adria88.bsky.social•89 days ago

Agree. The only difference may be childhood diseases spread to adults. Some of them can be lethal and to folks with cancer, taking meds suppressing immunity or older people. Mumps in adult men may cause infertility, and measles in adults leads to meningitis and disabilities.

fanofwalt.bsky.social•89 days ago

Members and supporters of the 45 admin got on TV and said straight into the camera that maybe folks should let grandma die of Covid for economic reasons—remember that?

Also, for tfg, adult women are as disposable as kids.

adria88.bsky.social•88 days ago

Again, you have a good point. I will now be blunt and cynical: a rich Trumper has to lose a loved one for anyone to pay attention to the public health mess that may be awaiting us. Rich trumpers don't mingle with common folks. They immunize their kids, and the rest of us are disposable anyway.

fanofwalt.bsky.social•88 days ago

Truth.

ab9rf.bsky.social•89 days ago

It's looking more and more like there's a bird flu outbreak on the way, plus there have been increasing reports of measles, polio, and tuberculosis (yes, darling, TB is back) over the past year.

To me, the most terrifying effect of prohibiting vaccines is that sickness, injury and death will hit unvaccinated babies, preschoolers and the elderly the hardest. The vast majority of school age children and adults will have at least some protections from prior vaccinations. Covid all over again.

I googled this as soon as I saw it on the news. Why, just why would anyone listen to him. If you are an antivaxer you are, but who would let him influence their lives in anyway? He is not a PhD, a scientist,a Dr of any kind. But yet here we are.

“CHD has opposed the program and called for vaccine manufacturers to be sued in civil court, which would prove a massive windfall for the many personal injury lawyers involved in the movement.”

RFK Jr. is the chairman of Children’s Health Defense (CHD).

littlewashita.bsky.social•89 days ago

How much money has RFK Jr. made suing pharmaceutical companies on vaccine injury claims?

treble440.bsky.social•89 days ago

This should be played at the confirmation hearing. Or at least the evidence of his involvement so that he has to answer for it

notputin.bsky.social•89 days ago

Note that part of RFK Jr’s message to Samoan was that the measles vaccine actually causes measles. Maybe using heroin while studying is not the best approach to medical science.

tonir2324.bsky.social•89 days ago

Almost all of us of parents were vaccinated when we were children. But if our children don’t get vaccinated, they’re the ones who will suffer and die. It will be the end of that generation.

Trump's gotta beat his last term's high score. Given that Covid is still around, several old diseases have returned, and this new avian flu has made landfall in the US, I'm guessing MAGA will kill at least a million more of us this time around.

But hey, I get it - eggs are expensive.
