I am not sure why the Senators who confirmed him even made the pretense of trying to determine whether he would mess with the vaccine system. They knew he was going to; they knew that was his entire goal with becoming head of HHS. In a way, he's right - although he lied during his confirmation hearings he didn't exactly mislead these Senators, because his entire career before this should have been a sign of not only his focus (sowing doubt about vaccines) but also that he was incredibly stupid.
Why do you pick on Samoa? (half of which is a part of America anyway). It’s in sunny safe Polynesia. There are much much MUCH worse places in the world. Do you actually know where Samoa is?
It's because he (Kennedy) went on an antivax crusade there and over 80 people (I think mostly babies and children) died because..... Not vaxxed. Specifically in American Samoa. Measles had outbreaks in other Pacific regions as a result.
What a horrifying thing to read, pair this article with the idiotic one from the Atlantic where they just sane wash him and left him accuse the scientists that resigned as being “unable to defend their positions” when it’s been Kennedy that has clearly walled himself off, while he goes onto his Quixotic crusade against vaccines…
Bush, Sackler, nameless health insurance CEOs. Excluding RFK jr, the Kennedy count is still single digits from what I recall. If you’re gonna hate them, focus on the facts.
He literally died because he wanted it to end. He stopped an invasion of Cuba. He saved us during the Cuban missile crisis. You’re thinking of his successor who was evil.
"Shake up."
Fk the NYT.
Fuck the New York Times.
That's not what the story actually has for a headline. It says "Kennedy’s Methodical 2-Decade Quest to Dismantle Vaccine Policy"
Thanks for pointing this out. I wonder where the alternate headline that was posted came from.

They are all complicit.
"Shake up" is one fuck of a weird way to spell "destroy".
He would love nothing more than to turn America into another Samoa, fuck this guy

RFK is an evil wanker
RFK jr’s and his anti-vax nonsense was directly responsible for a severe decline in MMR vaccine usage in American Samoa leading to a 2019 measles outbreak and the deaths of 83 people, most of them children. https://pulitzercenter.org/blog/pulitzer-center-supported-series-explores-why-rfk-jr-blamed-samoa-measles-crisis
I had no idea this happened. How awful. Thanks for the info. I’ll check out the link
“Tetanus is way cooler than autism.” RFKJR, M.D.
Only if M.D stands for Major Dick
Massive Dickhead

«shake up»? That’s a fucking choice.
“Shake up” you mean dismantle and corrupt
Why did you change the NYT's headline for the story? They said "Kennedy’s Methodical 2-Decade Quest to Dismantle Vaccine Policy"
standard operating procedure the times changes headlines to boost engagement especially online
Can't you work with a real doctor and never have to deal with this bullshit?
The Kennedy family war on Americans rolls on
Weird ass comment
Any other family out there killing massive amounts of Americans over decades like the Kennedys?

Sending us into Vietnam is on their tab too. And Chappaquidick.
