“Their kids die of measles and they still don’t believe it.”
MSNBC Senior reporter @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social explains why the misinformation coming from RFK Jr. around vaccines is ‘cynicism,’ not ‘skepticism’. “This is an anti-vaccine activist in charge of public health” #VELSHI

RFK Jr. ‘makes a living on lawsuits that target vaccines:’ Brandy Zadrozny on HHS measles response
Measles cases have reached a 33-year high with breakouts across 39 states. Critics have called on HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to do more to stop the spread. Kennedy has been advocating alternatives to the MMR vaccine. MSNBC Senior Reporter Brandy Zadrozny argues this is “vaccine cynicism” coming from “a person who makes a living on lawsuits that target vaccines, an anti-vaccine activist in charge of public health,” says Zadrozny.

Trump is slowly, quietly, lifting sanctions on Russia. And halting previously allocated munitions too.
Without an announcement, US policy is beginning to favor not a ceasefire, but Russian success

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. CARL SAGAN
