This guy voted for RFK Jr. to lead HHS. The hypocrisy would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic.

There’s a measles outbreak in Texas and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is completely silent. Not a peep. This is so, so bad.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates. RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

The updated count of measles cases in Texas now stands at 90, increased from 58 three days ago. Of these cases, 77 (86%) are children, 85 (94%) overall are unvaccinated, and 0 (0.0%) have been mentioned by RFK Jr. the Secretary of HHS. He’s far too busy casting aspersions on vaccines.

Not just #Mpox but other infectious pathogens will likely see a rise and thrive in this climate. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Ratner predicts the appointment of Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic, will impact vaccine availability and hesitancy: "It is much easier to scare people than to un-scare them," he says.

RFK Jr. guts health agencies even as measles cases surge in Texas www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

They have betrayed the Hippocratic Oath in voting to confirm RFK Jr.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Ainsley Earhardt insisted that RFK Jr. was not anti-vaccine. I've included excerpts from a segment on @PBS about RFK Jr.'s history of anti-vaccine statements. youtu.be/-0sqfhUxOZo?...

no one who voted to confirm RFK Jr as health secretary gets to mewl about fearing the impact of fewer vaccines

Layoffs to Indian Health Services were rescinded by RFK. ictnews.org/news/rfk-jr-...

RFK Jr: “Gardasil is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen.” @drneilstone.bsky.social: “The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer! RFK Jr is an anti-vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cancer than a vaccine.”

What could go wrong? #RFK Jr. narrowed HHS attention to only chronic disease and vaccine safety. Nothing to say about Bird Flu, Measles, TB, Quad-demic, Medicaid, Medicare, healthcare costs, uninsured, limits to reporting, and DOGE led purges at CDC, NIH, and FDA. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk...

Correct. The antivax movement has long been strongly eugenicist and social Darwinist.

Make measles great again!

Make measles great again! (It’s my theme of the day given what’s happened today.)

RFK Jr. is NOT a “vaccine skeptic.” He’s been a hardcore antivax conspiracy theorist for at least two decades.

It could be argued that I’ve wasted 20 years of my life doing the same. My first article about RFK Jr.’s antivax conspiracies was in 2005.) Most—although, in fairness, not all—of my colleagues looked askance at my activism, as though it was a quirky hobby rather than very, very necessary.

So it begins: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confirmed as HHS Secretary and immediately starts dismantling US federal science infrastructure sciencebasedmedicine.org/so-it-begins... via @sciencebasedmedicine.org @gorskon.bsky.social

IMPORTANT REMINDER: All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated. Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations. The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

Americans have been deeply shaken by the news that RFK Jr. was confirmed and sworn in as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, a recovering heroine addict, now has broad control over many of the biggest federal programs in the U.S. tackling addiction: the…

If only we had an effective vaccine that prevents measles, what is now the largest measles outbreak in the State's history in 30 years would be swiftly resolved 🙄. #VACCINATE www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

A few days before Senator Cassidy voted to confirm #RFK, he expressed concerns about his anti-vaccine track record. Then RFK several personal commitments to Senator Cassidy, including always being available to him on the phone.

This either means Cassidy is going to vote against Kash Patel or he is just talking bullshit again before he caves to the MAGA mob he is so terrified of.

Russell Brand, RFK Jr & Dr. Oz. We’ve got some miracle cures for you!
