As a 37-year old man, I cannot imagine assaulting teens, and teen girls at that, for any reason, let alone peacefully protesting something, and I didn't agree with them. What a cowardly loser. If anything, those kids let him get off too easy.

I hear they (Aaron Siri, adviser to RFK Jr for one) are now after the polio vaccine. I'm feel gut-punched thinking of children who will be affected by this for their entire lives
It's sad the only solution will be massive, multiple lawsuits against them for misleading the public by people affected

So frustrating (and heartbreaking) to see preventable diseases surging again.
โMeasles is a bad bug,โ APHA CEO Georges C. Benjamin, MD, tells CNN. During a usual outbreak, โmoney would flow, resources would come in, there would be a big national educational campaign, and quite frankly, a large vaccination campaign across all areas of our country.โ

What corporations don't get about the desire to opt out of targeted ads is it's better for one's mental health to think, "Why the hell am I getting an ad for this?" as opposed to, "What the hell??? I was just talking about this in a private phone call."
