This is what the CEO of Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by RFK, said about Dave Weldon:

“He, while he was in Congress, was the biggest helper at the time to the vaccine choice movement, to the people saying that vaccines are related to autism. He gets this completely.”

Is there a betting market for whether these appointees will "pause distribution" of these vaccines?

Why didn't you spend weeks auditing the 2024 election results especially where bomb threats were called in. Come on! #Recount2024NOW

These anti-vaxxers need to be careful. They are treading dangerously close to becoming targets of the Rothchild space!

Not a false theory. It’s a flat out hoax.

Thank you for your reporting. As a Floridian, was shocked that he was put forward for this position.

We need folks in leadership positions who understand #Science & how #VaccinesSaveLives.

Autism is caused by a collision of genetic factors and/or environmental influences. Old fathers, pregnant mothers getting a fever, inflammation, Vitamin D disregulation, low folic acid, exposure to insecticides in utero, fatty acids in umbilical cord blood…but vaccines have been ruled out.

These people really are trying to kill us. To quote Scott Fitzgerald, whom nobody reads anymore, living well is the best revenge.

Hard to believe another completely incompetent white man that is a MAGA moron is being considered for an agency that matters for the rest of us.
