And now he gets to dictate public health policy.
He looks like someone that would be an expert on child abuse
Considering he decided to take his kids with him when he went to saw that whale's head off and they had to ride back in the car with the whale's head on top wearing tarps but still getting covered in "whale juice," and his daughter just told that story casually in an interview a few years ago, I'm guessing he's got quite a bit of experience in abusing children.
Maybe not the way the Catholic Church does, but...
If vaccination is just as bad for children as the Catholic church then he's going to ban both of them, right? 🙄
Fuck the vaccines cause autism argument. Like even if it were true. I'm autistic. You're telling me you'd rather your child die than be like me? Speaks volumes to how much hate you have both for people like me and your own child.
Also (without wanting to belittle your condition), if the choice is between autism and life in an iron lung, I'd take autism.
Can't speak for everyone, I'm quite high functioning. But 100% same.
Thimerosal was already removed from most childhood vaccines in the U.S. and Europe more than a decade ago.
I don't get what RFK is trying to change.
His cabinet is very much going to be operating on a vibes basis, and his base will judge him in a similar basis as well. There's no rational thought going on.
Prosecute the Catholic Church first, then we might take your point seriously.
No we won't
We'll take his point as seriously as Trump promising not to enact Project2025.

People like these will end up causing thousands of deathsand untold suffering
At the inevitable end, when people finally realize what normal people already have known for a century (that none of these policies work) I expect them all to be punished appropriately. None of this "one death is a tragedy but a million deaths is a statistic" bullshit, if multiple homicides gets you life, what should thousands get you?
We politely clap for the paintings of a former president who lied to get us into a war and got thousands more Americans killed. He did this for political and financial gain, not because the US needed to go to war. So fraud on a massive scale with thousands of murders.
Make sure to clap.
Holy fucking shit this guy is going to be in charge of stuff
The CDC has been involved in genetically sequencing strains of the virus and working on vaccine development, in exactly the kind of preparedness we need for a very deadly virus that could go pandemic at any time. RFK has promised to end vaccination programs and force vaccines off the market, and he's about to be put in charge of the CDC. The whole world will be worse prepared for a bird flu pandemic thanks to his wacky antivax views, and many, many people will die in the USA and elsewhere as a result. This is a virus that by some measures has a fatality rate of 51%, whereas COVID was probably somewhere between 1% and 2%.
It's sad. But every single Trump voter who is also anti-vax deserves to actually experience the consequences of their actions.
Their children, who they won't vaccinate, do not.
Also all the rest of us. People all around the world will suffer the consequences of Trump voters' ignorance. An unvaccinated USA will be a huge pool in which any pandemic virus can linger and mutate.
Like the first time, the next Spanish Flu will be a US export.
They should read Roald Dahl’s letter.
“Read” …sorry guys, I say some crazy things.

I don't fully understand why the deaths of tens of millions or more helps corporations maintain cheap labor?
What's the conservative benefit here? Simply suffering?
I believe they've jumped the shark.
The rhetoric used to be for the goals you mentioned. But now I think many, especially in the trump wh actually believe what they are peddling
Yes. They enjoy making people suffer. Nothing gives them more satisfaction than making people suffer and then being worshipped for it by those same people.
Votes. People vote with emotions and fear is one of the most powerful emotion.
This is for giving the various people scared by a world where there are (and will be) more and more deadly diseases (due to intensive farming and whatnots) a simple, reassuring and deadly wrong answer: it’s all a big conspiracy theory for big pharma to make money and for the government to control your brain and Bill Gates to steal your top candy crush score.
This is the same technique at work with economy btw: economy is scary and complex…here a simple answer “Trump will fix it because he is rich so he understands money”
Democrats talk to rationality (and sometimes rationality crosses emotions e.g. with abortions rights), Republicans talk to emotions, where facts, interests, justice doesn’t matter

Even if it happened to be true, obviously it's not, RFK isn't attacking the church over their rampant abuse. Definitely speaks volumes.
Wait, so Christians voted not only for a president who clearly isn't Christian, but also a man from a Catholic family who disowned the church and speaks against them? Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine with everyone bashing the Catholic Church until they find ways to root out all the evil within, but how did Christians vote for him when they were claiming Trump (the man who stands against all of Jesus's teachings) was the Christian choice.
Maybe I'm wrong and he didn't abandon the Catholic Church though, just calls them evil while joining them for mass? Idk
Decades of propaganda have convinced Christians that Republican=Christian, and the last decade of propaganda have convinced them that Trump is a good Christian man anointed by God and all the bad stuff they might hear about him is just Democrat lies. Many, if not most, honestly don't know the half of Trump's evils, let alone believe them.

Can you imagine what it'd be like if mandatory childhood vaccines are eliminated? Can you imagine what a resurgence of measles or even polio would be like?!
No, you probably can't, because vaccines made them non-issues before most of us were even born. And now they might come back because some dullard thinks he knows better than actual doctors and scientists. Dunning and Kruger must be crying themselves to sleep these days.
We don't have to imagine. RFK made it happen once already.

He will probably try to roll back washing hands and quarantine. Then XDR TB will roll up and kill waaaay more than most other things. But, to be fair, some of the other things will kill more quickly.

Fuck fascists.
promote raw milk (likely infested with H5) to people at the same time as demonizing vaccines. surely that can't go wrong.
When I was a kid, my grandma would send me to a nearby farm to get raw milk. It was then brought to a boil at home, the top skimmed, for making pastries, and then consumed. It was way better tasting than store bought, but it was boiled.

So are people just gonna go along with ‘ole worm for brains’?
They went along with Diaper Don, so yeah, they will.
I just imagine a worm that caved out a little den with a bunch of tunnels running throughout the brain. Wormo got a couch and two sticks with a big red button in between that he's using to control RFK. When he pushes the button it sends a shock through RFKs brain and he says something, like a tick. Every now and then something in another room fucks up so Wormo has to leave the sticks and jiggle-wiggle over to fix the issue and leave RFK unattended.

Terrible sign of the times anybody listens to this clown.
