RFK Jr.’s Lawyer Has Asked the FDA to Revoke Polio Vaccine Approval Aaron Siri, who specializes in vaccine lawsuits, has been at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s side reviewing candidates for top jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

The polio vaccine is much safer than getting polio. It is incredibly irresponsible, reckless, and dangerous to advocate for revoking the FDA authorization for this vaccine. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

Let's talk about measles. Measles is one of the most contagious viruses we know. It is airborne (like COVID) but way more contagious. Up to 90% of unvaccinated people exposed to measles will contract the disease. According to the CDC, two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective in preventing measles.

'Viruses Are Our Friend'β€” 10 Off the Wall Video Clips from RFK Jr. Resurface on Bluesky Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an β€œanti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

How RFK Jr. Falsely Denied His Connection to a Deadly Measles Outbreak in Samoa He also championed a Samoan anti-vaxxer tied to the 2019 lethal eruption that killed scores of children.

You’re going with β€œcontroversial” over his views and actions that have already killed children?

A sobering empirical piece in JAMA.

Homicide has long been THE LEADING CAUSE of maternal/peripartum death.

Here they show:
* restrictions on divorce
* restrictions on abortion…
both correlate with pregnancy homicide (albeit differently, depending on age/race) πŸ›ŸπŸ©Ί
