Sure. But it's not vaccines.
Maybe leave it to the scientists who actually understand this stuff. Both Trump and RFK are unqualified to have an opinion on this.

Given that recent events in NYC last week focused the nation on the predatory health care industry middlemen and the need for universal health care, I wonder if RFK will focus on that instead of his personal manias in his new role.
It would set him against his boss protecting the industry by always promising 'concepts' of plans for health care reform.

Yes, we need more Polio. This is Making America Great Again.

Idiocracy.

Good.

Looks like someone is in favor of more polio and measles.

Childhood vaccinations eliminated many diseases like polio. They are not compulsory and some parents refuse them.

Making POLIO great again!
The sheer stupidity rampant throughout America and its hordes of anti-vaxxers never ceases to amaze me.

I think parents should have a choice whether they want to have their kids vaccinated or not.
fallaffel
Even Trump is not dumb enough to listen to "Bobby" and his vaccine conspiracies. But he might make some threats to get something from the pharmaceutical industry.

They already have that right. Stopping the vaccine program would be the wrong decision. Taking it away from those who want it.
bass4funk
I don’t think it will come to that.

Try reading concerns of millions of Americans that have concern about vaccines
All parents should have a choice whether they want to have their kids vaccinated or not.

States set childhood vaccine programs but Trump wants federal interference.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a vaccine that can help prevent cervical cancer in girls.

There goes the country, little by little. There's your proof that he doesn't care about anyone or anything but himself.

LMAO now you care about parents choices? Not some old withered dude deciding the fate of the people?
Ken
I don't trust people who sit in conspiracy theory circle jerk sessions to make decisions on stuff like this. It's like they are basing ideas off rumors and imagination. I'd rather listen to the people who spent thousands of hours studying and researching this stuff in college. 2 old dudes who probably aren't even CPR certified don't know jack about this topic
bass4funk
Always have, always will.
Withered? You seen the body of RFK? I mean, I look good, but this guy looks fantastic. No cheesecakes for that guy!
I don’t trust the swamp
And so many were proven to being wrong.
I would rather hear the view of people and medical experts that have an opposing viewpoint on these issues.

i tried. i couldn’t read it for long because they’re morons.
26% of americans can’t name the 3 branches of government.
37% can’t enumerate a single right in the bill of rights,
32% have never heard of the holocaust.
25% think the sun orbits the earth.
millions think the earth is flat.
34% think humans did not evolve and have only been around for about 8,000 years.
57% of trump supporters today think obama was born in kenya.
and you want us to listen with what these people have to say?
but a woman can’t choose about becoming a parent if she conceives from being raped?

I'm conflicted here.
On one hand, this could lead to an immense amount of unnecessary suffering as a result of deliberately letting a completely unqualified idiot run an incredibly important department.
On the other, it might actually take something like that for people to realise what happens when you let a completely unqualified idiot run an incredibly important department.
(When I say "people" I mean those who aren't so far gone that they would cheer the resurgence of childhood illnesses to "own the libs". I mean adults who still have some capacity for rational thought).

It looks like a choice between 2 evils for many people and they’re worried about what’s being injected into their children’s bodies.

Deadly smallpox was wiped out with vaccines. No cases of naturally occurring smallpox have happened since 1977.

I remember what life was like when polio was all too common.
I choose vaccines.

I would rather Trump families (in the USA) be forced to show proof of vaxes before giving a tourist visa. Trump families (in Japan)? Sorry, either vax according to Japan law or GO BACK TO TRUMPVILLE. Stay safe in Japan from all this Trump crazy stuff

We already know you like arguing or as your people say "devils advocate"

Vaccines have saved the lives of hundreds of millions. Smallpox, yellow fever, covid, ebola, mpox. They are working to discover a vaccine for HIV/AIDS.

Welcome to my world.
Thank public education for that and all the more reason to why the DOE will most likely and should go away and to your point, I just can't understand why liberals want to keep it, you yourself just put up these stats.
Fauci said, the mask works, then he was caught on a hot mic saying it doesn't, the experts like him were saying when I have intimacy with my wife we should both wear masks, now if that isn't straight-up lunacy, then I don't know what is, but you want me to listen to these quacks?? Sorry, no!
She can, if she can't get an abortion in one place, there are thousands more across the country where she can. We are talking about the US, not North Korea, no armed guards will stop ANY woman.
Ken
You also admire how he decapitates heads and body parts off of animals too? Dude is a crazy daisy. With what he has done to bear cubs and whales, you want him to be the one who convinces your children to not get a rabies shot or tetanus shot? The average life span of a Maga minion will probably be 40 if thats the case
Ken
Who is the "dems" you are referring to? People have their own opinions, thoughts and morals, we don't follow anybody the same way you ask how high when Trump tells you to jump
TaiwanIsNotChina
Yes parents should have the choice of whether they want to have polio parties or not.

rfk jr went to samoa to hustle his anti-vaccine nonsense in 2019.
he used the cases of two infants died in 2018 after getting a measles vaccine.
vaccination rate dropped and 89 people, mostly children died from measles.
but, it turned out not to be the vaccine. the nurses improperly mixed the vaccine with muscle relaxants for the infants.
this is what happens when you have a wild-eyed, brain-eaten lunatic who has no medical training at all influencing people with junk, misleading nonsense masquerading as "science."
bass4funk
People who aren't conservative.
Wait, you just contradicted yourself, you said that people who don't follow the (so-called) science are illiterate morans, and now you're saying people have the right to their opinions, so which is it, please make up your mind.
That's twice now, hypocrisy is a word the left literally invented.
How about when it comes to food? War?
bass4funk
Well, I feel the same about a lot of Fauci's claims, so I will say this, you believe what you want and I will do the same. I can't change your mind and you sure as heck won't change mine. Anyway, I hope that the man gets confirmed.
Ken
Show me where I'm referring to science? I said nobody worships another human being like your side does. And you really can't keep Fauci's name out of your mouth. dude isn't even relevant anymore yet you bring him up dam near everyday
Ken
Amen, keep that weirdness in America please
bass4funk
You think we should listen to the medical experts you approve of yes or no?
You think RFK Jr. is a quack and no one should listen to him, correct?
You forgot Obama, we didn't though, so what was your point again
Because it's my mouth and I can utter his name as many times as I want and I am not worried that someone will slap me, not going to happen. Lol
Because he was one of the (so-called) experts libs wanted us to listen to, that's why.

Must follow science and data, NOT corrupt special healthcare interests trying to protect their profits rather than the Children. There's a reason the healthcare lobby spends $BILLIONS in lobbying EVERY Year!
Many vaccines have been discontinued historically, as the science and data improve = Better Oversight!
HopeSpringsEternal
Trump took $ZERO Healthcare related Campaign Donations. Meanwhile Kamala Harris outraised Trump $3:1 in Campaign Donations, much of this advantage due to dirty corrupt Healthcare business interests.
Trumps not bought and paid for, and neither is RFK Jr., why Healthcare spent so heavily supporting K. Harris.

Go ObamaCare with single payer (Public option and expanding Medicaid). It works well in Japan. Trump people don't want it and look at all the medical bankruptcies in the USA.

Can you be specific?
Can you be specific?
And what's going on in Japan? Japan is a vaccine factory

RFK had a huge following due to his efforts to challenge Biden in the Democratic Primary but was locked out by the Democrats. Ran as an independent by was sued endlessly by Democratic operatives.
Hence in order to pursue his vision of a healthy America, especially children, his ONLY option was to join Trump.
RFK says Democratic Party of Today left him, and his father and uncle, Robert and JFK would support his joining Trump and not support today's Democratic Party.

Because he is a loon.
His vision isn't supported by facts. His ideas will not create a healthy America.
He's completely wrong, of course, and the rest of the existing Kennedy family have disowned him.
