The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice
And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense
Such a tiresome waste of time

Bad week for RFK
- 2 studies confirm tylenol doesn't cause autism
- 1 study confirms water fluoridation doesn't affect cognitive function
oh and since he's been nominated, there have been over confirmed 4000 cases of measles in the US

Chemtrails don't exist
Turbo cancer doesn't exist
Covid does exist
Covid vaccines worked
Ivermectin doesn't work for Covid
Ivermectin doesn't work for cancer
Vaccines eradicated smallpox
Vaccines don't cause autism
Thanks and have a wonderful day

This is chilling. Withholding vital public health data because it doesn't conform to the anti-vaccine dogma of RFK Jr. will cost lives.
Exclusive: The acting director of the CDC has delayed publication of a report showing the covid-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, according to two scientists. wapo.st/4tFqKqY

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu says the full Epstein files contain information that Donald Trump RAPED minors.
So he started a war to distract us from his crimes.
Never stop speaking about Epstein.

The fact that Edmonton is already on the market to get a goaltender to replace Tristan Jarry, and we retained no salary in that deal shows that Kyle Dubas should be awarded with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Obama: Got a nuke deal with Iran without firing a shot.
Trump: Tears up the deal, can't negotiate a new deal himself, starts a war, and American servicemen die.

SNL's Colin Jost on Iran: "This attack might be a bad idea, I don't know. I'm not really an expert on Iran. So let's hear from someone who can explain why we might have done it."

So here we have Oman’s foreign minister saying Iran had agreed to zero enriched-uranium stockpiling and was on the brink of a real breakthrough, and within hours the US and Israel launched massive strikes.
Let’s be honest: this wasn’t ever about peace or uranium, it was about indulging Bibi Netanyahu’s ambitions, and Donald Trump got played like a fool......

We also can't separate RFK as HHS Secretary from RFK as past leader of Children's Health Defense -a group that's spent a decade spreading vaccine misinformation, fueling hesitancy, and contributing to declining rates worldwide (and here). His culpability began before 2025.

One of the best lessons we should all learn from Fetterman is that putting on the trappings of a working-class white man and rhetorically gesturing at leftism is not actually leftist politics, and if something seems off about a candidate - like, say, they seem largely unqualified and have no idea what they're doing - maybe deploy a little more skepticism.
Operation Epic Fury.
President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region.
God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.
