"Trump has no intention of stopping him because MAGA hates vaccines and has no confidence in public health authorities. He has an open field to conduct a virtual laboratory experiment designed to prove that insanity is an effective substitute for sound science & decades of public health research and experience,
Kennedy has serious emotional and mental problems and is unfit to lead an agency of this importance."

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. assured the Senate that he would not interfere in the public’s right to secure vaccines. He lied. He has taken several steps to end public-private partnerships in the vaccine development area. He promised no major changes at HHS and FDA. He lied."

And Stephanie Kirchgaessner on the resignation of Dr. Peter Marks, top US vaccine official, in protest over RFKJr's misinformation:
"The federal government reported on Friday that there have been 483 confirmed cases of measles across 20 US jurisdictions so far this year, with the largest outbreak in Texas, and 70 people across the nation needing to be hospitalized.
That compares with 285 cases of measles in the US for the whole of 2024."
