Pocan asked Kennedy, “If you had a child today, would you vaccinate that child for measles?”

“Probably for measles,” Kennedy said, before backpedaling. “What I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant.”

“I don’t want to seem like I am being evasive but I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me,”

Lol absolutely not. I’m saying that RFK Jr. is directly effecting pharma’s pockets.

No, it doesn't lol. I'm not even sure how you read it that way.

To be fair, anti-vaxxer rhetoric is extremely hostile toward companies like Pfizer. Not for any logical or dialectical reasons, but because of conspiratorial notions that pharmaceutical companies use vaccines to “control” people. This “control” can run the gamut from relatively innocuous assertions like “Pfizer uses vaccines to suppress adoption of alternative medicine,” to blatantly racist/bigoted conspiracies like “[Im not gonna write a heinous example conspiracy here.]”

At least it’s finally something we can all agree upon. He might want to think twice about his job though.

Well you see, the only qualification anyone cares about is if everyone likes you. And unfortunately a good way to alienate Americans is to be correct about things.

Just for an instant, for a brief moment, the worm lost control.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Finally, sane medical advice from him.
