Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally

4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

Susan Collins is exhausted.She explained - “Ok, I was not part of the Trump as Frankenstein idea, but they told me he was house trained.
Then he dumps all over Maine and I have to clean up his mess. My knees are bloody from the begging I have to do. I am more than concerned- maybe even peeved!”

Senator Collins assures Maine medical researchers that she’s got the ban on funding all fixed.

The Senator explained “Dr Kennedy has assured me he is going to fix this right after he fires all those pesky disease investigators at CDC. Not to worry, we have a deal.”

A constant stream of misinformation coming out of his mouth
I think he is referencing a study by a Dr. Poland , not the country. I could be mistaken, but I think Rachel Maddow touched upon this on her show this evening. For the record. Dr. Poland claims his study is being grossly mischaracterized and is disgusted by the RFK Jr. remarks referencing his study

The number of lunatic things that come out of his mouth is just amazing!
Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr
