Dr. Malone asked about adjuvants in MMR. Live-attenuated vaccines like MMR don’t use adjuvants. Because the weakened virus replicates a bit in the host, it naturally provides the innate immune stimulus — the very role adjuvants play in non-live vaccines.

RFK Jr’s “evidence” doesn’t support ending mRNA vaccine development. It makes the case for expanding it.

Kennedy's case against mRNA vaccines collapses under his own evidence
“This isn't scientific disagreement. It's either staggering incompetence or willful misrepresentation,” writes infectious disease physician Jake Scott.

Just to reiterate, the FDA director claimed to *personally* know of *multiple* people who died from mRNA COVID vaccines, and nobody has asked him anything else about that. These cases have never been reported in neither the medical and scientific records, nor literal death records.
When people lie this badly it is so easy to just be like “wow, tell me how one of the people you know died from a vaccine,” bc it’s obviously a lie & he won’t be able to answer bc it’s a lie. I’m not sure why nobody does that to these people? The tiniest amount of pushback would make them fall apart

Hello friends. The only experience RFK Jr. has with public health is as a PATIENT. He is a lawyer. You’d go to a plastic surgeon to get sown up after an accident (not a lawyer) and your baby is delivered by an OBGYN (not a lawyer). No one in their right mind calls me to operate in them.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
