Yes. This is important.
A major story we could tell right now is that RFK Jr is corrupt. He makes money from lawsuits against vaccines!
That story has purchase even amongst his fans. We should tell it.

It’s worth looking at the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program data tables. It’s all very transparent; anyone with a basic grasp of statistics comes away with an increased sense that vaccines are safe and effective.
Antivax propaganda, however, tells *stories*.

I really hate agreeing with Rand Paul. But alas, pigs are flying.
Rand Paul: "Somebody has to stand up and yell, 'the emperor has no clothes.' Everybody is falling in lockstep on this -- 'Pass the big beautiful bill. Don't question anything.' Well, conservatives do need to stand up ... if we don't stand up on it, I really fear the direction the country is going."

The obvious enduring principles and values that have to be spelled out these days are astonishingly elementary, but at least they’re being enunciated clearly. Some authority has to tell these miscreants publicly, loudly, they are behaving as though they belong in prison, not office.
"On balance, the Court finds that the public benefits from living in a country where rules are followed and where promises are kept. Rules are tedious and frustrating, but they also keep us fair and honest."
