A co-chair of Donald Trump’s transition team says Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants access to federal health data so he can show vaccines are unsafe and lead to them being pulled from the market in a second Trump administration.

Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist, seeks access to federal health data to challenge vaccine safety and potentially lead to their removal from the market. This raises concerns among public health experts about severe health consequences, especially for children, and the potential waste of resources on debunked theories. Despite Kennedy’s lack of medical expertise and the potential for misinformation, Trump has indicated his support for Kennedy’s role in a potential second administration.

    A reasonable skeptic is actually a smart one.

    Yeah maybe. But neither you nor the Brainworm driving the RFK Jr. skinsuit are reasonable skeptical. The Brainworm has decided that vaccines are bad, and is attempting to cherry pick much more data to try to back up his claims. And you are trying to say that behavior is valid and part of the scientific process, which it absolutely the fuck is not.
