Fascists don't care about anything but the naked exercise of raw power in pursuit of their agenda. When facts conflict with ideology, it's always the facts that change.
Pointing out the hypocrisy is as pointless as saying, "we told you so."
It really is just that simple.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

The result? US will no longer recommend vaccines with thimerosal (a safe preservative).

I do have a very strong belief that everything started going to hell when we began to outlaw shame, a societal tool that has worked well since the beginning of society. Some people should be shamed and not all beliefs are valid or to be respected
The narrative that anti-vaxxers or QAnon weirdos will come back from the brink if we're nice enough to them isn't tenable morally and doesn't hold up empirically. Ostracizing people whose beliefs harm others is a critical aspect of a functioning marketplace of ideas.
