This clip of RFK is a perfect representation of malignant smugness and narcissism that corrupts 99% of conservative brains. “Everyone is wrong but me, and even when I lie, I still know I’m right”

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic
RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

The removal creates a dangerous gap in scientific research and threatens public health.

Yeah, that’s just not the case.
