A Children’s Health Defense crony who just presented a loony deck on thimerosal in vaccines *with fake citations* has…been hired to study vaccine safety at the CDC. Lysenkoism. Incompetents failing up. And yes: this is how much of a zealot RFK Jr is. (CNN reported on the deck. CBS on the hiring.)

Don't worry, one of the crazy cranks also just got hired by the CDC to study vaccine safety.

Burning down public health to own the libs. That'll learn them.

Well if they want to investigate how ACTUAL mercury poisoning can damage a person, it's not like they have far to look.

RFK Jr. says he suffered from a parasitic brain worm and mercury poisoning

Kennedy campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear said in a statement that "the issue was resolved more than 10 years ago, and he is in robust physical and mental health."

So SCOTUS has noted that the USPSTF serves "at will". Firing of all the members by RFK Jr and the appointing of notable experts like The Food Babe in 5... 4.... 3...

As expected, this means that the long-running challenge fails — but now the court has clarified that members of the Task Force serve at will and can be replaced by the HHS secretary easily.

So much for trading high pay for security. Why would anyone work for the government now,

I wouldn't work for the government right now, but there are actually people that believe in the mission of their division, and that does attract people to work for the government.

But the damage to institutional knowledge and recruiting is going to be immense.

But the damage to institutional knowledge and recruiting is going to be immense.

As of right now the mission of every division is to assist in the personal wealth acquisition of the Trump family.

I guess the US eradicating Measels in 2000 is beside the point.

RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’

“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Yet the results of another unqualified white boy. Can't have that dreaded DEI.

Measles cases in the US reach 33-year high

It is the latest milestone in the ongoing outbreak of a disease that was once thought to be eliminated in the US.
