Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is NOT a “vaccine skeptic.” He is antivax. Period.

The skeptic movement is a collective endeavor that promotes the respect for knowledge and truth, methodological naturalism, science, reason, critical thinking, and consumer protection, and aims to distinguish legitimate science from pseudoscience, uphold ideological freedom, understand cognitive biases, address specific flawed or pseudoscientific claims, maintain cultural memory of past pseudosciences and scams, and improve science communication and journalism.

You'd think a position like the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the entire nation would require some sort of medical or sociology training, but nope! Not in this timeline.
Well, the current one doesn't either:, Secretary Bacerra is a lawyer, the same as Robert F Kennedy Jr. The Secretary's job is to basically collect and summarize reports from their respective agencies for the President.
Who goes hiking with an unvaccinated infant? His babble is almost as incoherent as Trump's.
You know, occasionally I'm led to believe that we live in the 21st century, but then I read a quote like that and I'm reminded, nope, definitely Middle Ages still. I better go hunt some witches now.
They're called trans people now.
I was vaccinated as a child. Does that mean I'm dead now? Cause I could be convinced either way.
He was vaccinated too. Maybe we're all dead, that would actually explain a few things.
I had higher hopes for death.
No, but autism is worse for these motherfuckers than death.
It's like a trolley problem. If you do nothing, an RFK shaped train will speed down the tracks and kill untold innocents (and some maga assholes). If you pull the lever to try to stop it, you'll almost certainly die, and it's possible another train will be placed on the tracks later anyway.
So I don't know what to do. I pray to saint luigi.
Ideally, as many people who try to kill that many people are stopped.
RFK specifically can't be allowed to fuck with vaccines. That isn't, like, an industry shifting around. It's worse than life and death, it's brutal, chronic illness--preventable horrendous individual suffering on a mass scale.
Yeah we thought guardrails were in place with covid but here we are
I would be a vaccine skeptic if i could find anything about curing viruses skeptical. Fortunately or unfortunately im not stupid.
You can be a skeptic and still come to the conclusion "vaccines work with no major problems, and should be mandated widely".
Yup, I'm a vaccine skeptic and get every pretty much every one that's offered, because it turns out they're totally worth it. But I do my research anyway because I'm not blindly injecting anything.
I can also not be a skeptic and do research anyway. I have a fair amount of confidence in scientists but not governments. Nor governments understandings of science. Nor the common persons understanding. Im skeptical on all those fronts. But science. Not so much.
Only the best and the brightest from Donald's administration.
