Ohhhh that's gonna piss off the plague rats.

The health secretary’s call for parents to vaccinate their children for measles contrasts starkly with the many years in which Kennedy has been a leading proponent of misinformation questioning the efficacy and safety of vaccinations. Even since he became the country’s top health official, he has depicted a measles vaccination as a personal choice and claimed inaccurately that the power of the inoculation is waning.

Children are dead because of what he chose to say.

He went on to blame the outbreaks on religious communities who eschew vaccines and on global health conditions.

I mean... a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose. But he should not be in the position he has been appointed to. More people are dying.

[...] Kennedy told Bash “you probably don’t understand this because you’re not a scientist”.

The journalist riposted: “But you’re not, either.”

Lmao! Well done!

To everyone saying broken clock and a glimmer of hope, you just need to read the article that it isn’t. He was just cornered and had no room to wiggle out of it.

Any hope that Kennedy’s measles statement might indicate a change of heart were dashed in the rest of the CNN interview in which he turned combative. Batting off questions from Bash, the health secretary responded with personal attacks.

He accused the CNN host of “saying nonsense”, “repeating like a parrot” and “making assertions you can’t support”. In one especially demeaning remark he said Bash had become “flustered”.

“I’m not flustered at all,” she asserted in a calm voice. “I am frustrated because you are the HHS secretary and you are talking about things that lead to vaccine hesitancy in this country.”

In a further comment dripping with condescension, Kennedy told Bash “you probably don’t understand this because you’re not a scientist”.

The journalist riposted: “But you’re not, either.”

Kennedy used the CNN exchange to spread further misinformation about other aspects of public health. He claimed that both respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that is a major cause of infant mortality and Lyme disease were caused by manipulation of germs in laboratories.

Grandfather Nurgle will not be pleased.

What about the AUTISM??1?

Oh how the turns have tabled.

To be honest im kind of surprised he backtracked, i was fully certain he would let people die and perpetuate an outbreak just to stick to his schtick

Vaccines are not supposed to be reactionary, they are preperatory.

Even if we could magically vaccinate every single American today, the virus has a foothold and will spread by usually transmission. People will still go to work, school, shopping, social events etc. There will be more deaths. RFK llike to moron he is, will probably use that to say that vaccines arent effective.

Vaccinating now is still helpful, so if you're not covered, get covered! Tell everyone you know.

Lord Dookie Diaper will be most displeased.

which is it, vaccinate or not to vacicnate. anti-vaxxers are unlikely to vacciante.

He should be personally, criminally, liable for the deaths and suffering caused by his policies. So should leadership that supported him.

Which is it? Vaccines are bad or get vaccines? It depends on the wind, it seems.

OMFG!!!11! THE DEEP STATE GOT TO HIM!!!

/s just in case...

But… what about the autism?

Americans are weird.

Are you floofing kidding me

Fucking rotten bastard. Someday he'll fucking be sitting in jail for mass murder.

Imagine one of the dumbest persons on earth who is also a well known antivax telling you that you have to get some vaccines... and yet many people will still firmly oppose... We do live in the dumbest timeline.
