“People shouldn’t take medical advice from me.”

• US Health Secretary RFK Jr.

I can’t comprehend how they can still be salty about the pandemic vaccines.

Sure, lots of things went wrong in the pandemic, but those who got the jab went on with their lives, no health issues.

A lot of people made an ass of themselves and now have to pretend for the rest of their lives that vaccines don’t work.

Our public health is being limited by a conspiracy theorist.

Didn't he just say not to take health advice from him a couple weeks ago?

People are going to die because of his ignorance. He's a murderer.

That is just not a proper headline... You are missing critical context? More like, "Kennedy, who recently willingly swam in literal shit with his own grandchildren, says..."

His latest proclamation is he wants anyone with an NIH grant to be required to publish in a gov run journal instead of, say, Lancet or Nature. He feels they are "corrupt" without providing a shred of evidence, never mind they are peer reviewed. So he'd prefer a gov system where papers could be rejected because they don't align with his conspiracy views and they wouldn't be allowed to publish elsewhere.

My husband and I got Covid last week. Probably the new variant. Our latest booster was 6 months ago. This variant KICKED OUR ASS. We are on week 2 of coughing, wheezing, and feeling extremely tired. Lost a bunch of income from our respective businesses because we were not able to do any work at all.

This was a stark reminder of how important it is to keep up with boosters. I hope that we can find a way to keep getting them, even if that means paying out of pocket or lying.

Screw that guidance. I'll be getting the new COVID shot as soon as its available (in whatever country I have to travel to to get it).

What this really means is that if you want a COVID shot, you'll have to pay out-of-pocket because insurance will now say its not necessary for health.

Noted - healthy children and pregnant women should still get the shots.

I wish hell was real.

Hey how’s that measles outbreak going

Thank goodness we have the stupid conservatives in power so they can politicize everything.

Kennedy just needs to let the worm run things.

pregnant women

Man, RFK really wants the US to just die out, make sure the next generation is dead or fucked up.

Let's not go to the US, it's a silly place

i dont actually trust Kennedy to know anything about health though...

He'll ban the diagnosis of Autism next, then declare that it's cured.

Then HitlerPig will take credit for it, and tell the world that he cured Autism all by himself.

This is what happens when the Health Secretary is someone who never actually studied medicine, practiced as a doctor, or even spent time as a nurse.

It's slower than Hitler's gas chambers, but they don't have to deal with the bodies.

A few things to get out of the way

1. RFK is completely nuts and doesn't belong anywhere, let alone in office.
2. Vaccines are a good thing and vaccine campaigns have suppressed some very nasty diseases.

I don't disagree with this policy though. (...and that is this post obliterated).

We already take a conservative approach with medical treatments and pregnancy, including some forms of vaccination which we do not give to pregnant women. I have absolutely no problem being conservative with treatment which work in a different way to previous treatments.

With young children, I don't think the benefit / harm calculation for the individual ever supported giving it to them. The probability that catching COVID would cause you serious harm was always lower the younger you were. Whereas the probability for side effects was always there. The only rationale to vaccinate children was to limit transmission in the population which is something it utterly failed to do.

The role out of the COVID treatments was (IMHO) a high risk strategy but arguably necessary because of the situation we were in. We're now in a different situation. We should be re-evaluating the decision made in a time of crisis to see if they still hold up.

This about sums up our collective future...

Already trying to rebrand rfk jr?

So many women about to be arrested for murder when their body spontaneously aborts a fetus due to a preventable COVID infection

Oh the CDC said this?

What do doctors and scientists in respectable EU nations say?

EDIT: Sorry, this is poop river diver Kennedy saying this, not the CDC. I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe I have a brain worm.
