Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocated for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine during a visit to West Texas on Sunday to comfort two families whose children died of the disease.
So now when shit really hits the fan you’re admitting that vaccines are good, but you of course won’t admit you were wrong and I guarantee you that once this is over, you’ll again continue with your anti vaccine crusade because of course you will
Hilarious that someone admitting the obvious makes the news these days.
Sir! Fresh off the presses, water is wet!
Can my line show up in the press now too?
Absolutely! Fifteen minutes of fame, headed your way!
Is that water, gasp, fluorinated‽‽‽ My pearls!
oh god utah. Can’t wait to see all the mormons without front teeth in 20 years.
Oh, is he just going to pretend that he hasn’t been spearheading a crusade against vaccines for literal decades?
Yes. This is called lying. This is what these people have been doing for a while now. I don’t think this will change soon.
I think he actually thinks the things he says, and is just plain nuts. I don’t get the impression rfk doesn’t care about people deep down like I do with most of them. I think he’s genuinely profoundly stupid.
Cynicism is not really correct here. Maybe if you turn one half of one degree and see literally anything else going on right now, but not here.
Most effective is to get a vaccine before being exposed to Measles ffs.
Why do you think we give herpes vaccines to pre-teens? It’s not because we are expecting them to be sexually active, it’s because it works better before they are exposed.

I wonder if the brain drain from the US will ultimately get us there faster. The EU has less cultural stigma about funding STI vax research, and now they’re going to get the people who can do it.

Maybe. Keeps me sane.
I’ll say that Trump is providing an opportunity if we can grab it. There was a big liberal world order where it was hard to replace systems that were some combination of outdated and/or cruel, because what they do was too important. A bunch of those have been tossed in a woodchipper already, and Trump ain’t done yet. If we can rebuild an effective left wing movement that takes real power, then we have an easier path to remaking those systems in a way that benefits a greater number of people.

RFK and the goons have fired medical doctors at the FDA this week because they would not say that MMR vaccine caused autism. Don’t believe these clowns have changed their story. This is just more lies and distractions.

There’s no doubt or suspicion.
Oh? I thought you said it was vitamin A, you brain worm dumb fuck
OK that actually wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card
He didn’t seem to care when he got dozens of kids killed by measles in American Samoa, but now that it’s white kids in the metropole he changes his tune…
Buy your “Not vaxxed, not afraid” baby onesie today!
All y’all dumping on him for being anti-vaccine: You’re not wrong, but remember, we want to reward positive behavior! Else, why would anyone ever reverse course?
We have to be nice to plague rats or they will kill their children out of spite
Was thinking more along the lines of raising children. You always reward the behavior you want to see, however they get there.
Is the brain tissue growing back?
He is just saying that any vaccine created since Jenny McCarthy got up to speed on Andrew Wakefield’s nonsense is bad.
All of those other vaccines that did so much good when he was young are fine.
If it didn’t come out of “the good old days” of when these people were in their prime it is some liberal conspiracy after all. /s
Yeah, a bit sad that the person in charge of the fucking health of the whole US is the last one to get the memo on Earth.
WOT?! I thought he didn’t recommend vaccines until they were safe! Is this a John Kerry style flip-flop???
Flipping to pro vaccine should be seen as a good thing.
I agree, but the amount of anti-vax folks who used RFK getting into the government as “proof” vaccines are bad is pretty astonishing. I’m sure they won’t point to him as an example anymore.
Ah now that shit might get really serious really quick you’re changing your stance? Huh Bobby? I must say I’m a little surprise. You didnt do that the last time you did this.
He’s playing both sides.He’s going to go back to saying all the other nonsense shit.
Feels like he’s admitting the lives lost were his fault.
It’s more likely that the families of the kids with vitamin A toxicity from his recommended treatment are preparing to sue the government.

I doubt that the threat of suing the government would make him change; after all, it won’t be paid out of his pocket. But if the families were being inundated by offers of attorneys to represent them in a civil suit against RFK Jr himself…
It takes awhile to get used to enacting policy that rapidly and publicly kills children.
Tell me about it! The last time I couldn’t sleep for almost an entire night, I was so annoyed!
And that’s why i take Fuckitol. Two pills in the morning, followed by a gallon of bathtub gin, and you’ll sleep like a baby.
Did climate change just causet the fourteenth tornado this week to eat your last pickup? Fuckitol. Little Jimmy, your last of a brood of 17 just got gunned down in his pre-k Starbucks job? Fuckitol. Slow creep of fascism destroying civilization? Fuckitol.
Tell your doctor Fuckitol is right for you!
some side effects include sudden spleen rupture, children born with heads of golden retrievers, the condition known as “hotdog fingers,” hearing the voices of the Broadway show Cats from midnight to 6am daily. Don’t take Fuckitol of you are or may become pregnant, are bipedal, are carbon based or require oxygen at any point during your life cycle.
