And yet, he continues to just tweet through it rather than do something about it. They’ve called Jr. to committee twice and just have gone about business as usual after.
GOP senator calls CDC's hepatitis B vaccine change 'a mistake' that will make America sicker - and Bill Cassidy has expertise in this, as a former liver doctor.

So IDK maybe do something besides shitpost about it on the internet?
RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.
The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.
This guy has got to go.

Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.
Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

It’s the first test of our West Coast Health Alliance—the four-state buffer designed to protect science-based policy. Plus, I have a few other California #publichealth updates to cover.

Hoeg admits that the measles outbreak is primarily among the unvaccinated and that low uptake of MMR vaccine is to blame. She is right.
She then goes on to blame the lack of trust in vaccines for this.
She does not acknowledge that she and her fellow misinformers are the cause of distrust.
