I agree. I have friends who espoused this all the time with pride, but when the pandemic started and their MAGAness intensified...well, they still espouse it but don't act on it in any real way

It's essential to recognize that the ignorance and stupidity of conservatives have terrible and lethal consequences.

Essential reading from terminated members of ACIP in JAMA:

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth.

He said they weren’t cutting critical research.

Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis.

Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects.

This guy doesn’t care about health.

Your Local Epidemiologist @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social · May 2

1/ Yesterday, it was announced that RFK Jr. is requiring placebo-controlled studies for new vaccines—potentially delaying this fall’s COVID shots as well as the approval of other vaccines. RFK Jr.’s repeated claims is that vaccines were “never tested against placebos” is simply not true 👇
