Born in 1950s..had measels x2, mumps, chicken pox, and bronchitis all during my 2nd year elementary school.....I survived by grace of god.....each time I returned to class some of my friends were gone....my parents attended many funerals that year...we received polio vaccine in a lump of sugar,...my parents took a day off of work each time a vaccine was available for us, to make sure we received it...knowing how precarious a child health is ....Im grateful that they cared for me.... I made sure my children received all of the vaccine available as they were growing up...nothing nostalgic about loosing a child to a preventable disease....

The only people dumber than Shitler’s cabinet are the rest of us still debating and analyzing the absolute trash fire that is RFK Jr.’s health department. It shouldn’t require advanced medical knowledge to understand the man is unfit to lead and poses an extreme threat to the safety and efficacy of medical practice.

Just the other day I watched a documentary about Mark O'Brien. It's called Breathing Lessons. I strongly recommend it to all anti vaxxers

Have you considered that the vaccine industry has taken advantage of the fact that they can’t be sued? Are you against perfecting disease prevention? Why do you want our kids and us, to keep getting sicker?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health policies stem from the idea that the past holds the secret to health and happiness. But especially with respect to infectious disease, this “is a fantasy with potentially lethal ramifications,” Elizabeth Bruenig argues. theatln.tc/CIYLhPtV
Kennedy “is quick to point out the relative rarity of chronic conditions such as childhood diabetes and autoimmune disorders in the past,” Bruenig writes. “But he is apparently hesitant to acknowledge that mid-century America came with its own share of serious health problems, including a high rate of cigarette smoking and horrifying infant mortality rates compared with the present.”
Preventable childhood illnesses such as measles once routinely killed hundreds annually. So far this year, only three people in the United States have died of measles, and that was, Bruenig writes, “largely the result of an outbreak of the disease caused in part by declining vaccination rates.”
At the center of the MAHA crusade “is a high degree of trust in the wisdom of nature,” Bruenig argues. But this belief, she writes, has “fostered a false sense of security, and a naive assessment of the natural world.”
