So now when shit really hits the fan you're admitting that vaccines are good, but you of course won't admit you were wrong and I guarantee you that once this is over, you'll again continue with your anti vaccine crusade because of course you will

All y'all dumping on him for being anti-vaccine: You're not wrong, but remember, we want to reward positive behavior! Else, why would anyone ever reverse course?
We have to be nice to plague rats or they will kill their children out of spite
Was thinking more along the lines of raising children. You always reward the behavior you want to see, however they get there.
Yeah, a bit sad that the person in charge of the fucking health of the whole US is the last one to get the memo on Earth.
Hilarious that someone admitting the obvious makes the news these days.
Sir! Fresh off the presses, water is wet!
Can my line show up in the press now too?
Is that water, gasp, fluorinated‽‽‽ My pearls!
oh god utah. Can't wait to see all the mormons without front teeth in 20 years.
Absolutely! Fifteen minutes of fame, headed your way!
OK that actually wasn't on my 2025 bingo card
Oh, is he just going to pretend that he hasn't been spearheading a crusade against vaccines for literal decades?
Yes. This is called lying. This is what these people have been doing for a while now. I don't think this will change soon.

Ah now that shit might get really serious really quick you're changing your stance? Huh Bobby? I must say I'm a little surprise. You didnt do that the last time you did this.
He's playing both sides.He's going to go back to saying all the other nonsense shit.
Feels like he’s admitting the lives lost were his fault.
It’s more likely that the families of the kids with vitamin A toxicity from his recommended treatment are preparing to sue the government.

I doubt that the threat of suing the government would make him change; after all, it won’t be paid out of his pocket. But if the families were being inundated by offers of attorneys to represent them in a civil suit against RFK Jr himself…
It takes awhile to get used to enacting policy that rapidly and publicly kills children.

RFK and the goons have fired medical doctors at the FDA this week because they would not say that MMR vaccine caused autism. Don't believe these clowns have changed their story. This is just more lies and distractions.
Not only has there never been a link shown between autism and vaccines. Autism is genetic. Someone is born autistic. It's not a disease you can contract later in life. From vaccines or anywhere else. Which makes the claim all the more dubious.
~~dubious~~ horseshit
dubious; adj. open to doubt or suspicion
There's no doubt or suspicion.
Most effective is to get a vaccine before being exposed to Measles ffs.
Why do you think we give herpes vaccines to pre-teens? It's not because we are expecting them to be sexually active, it's because it works better before they are exposed.
Just a minor correction: There is no herpes vaccine. It's the HPV vaccine you're thinking of.
Would be nice to get a herpes vaccine, but they're not there yet.
I wonder if the brain drain from the US will ultimately get us there faster. The EU has less cultural stigma about funding STI vax research, and now they're going to get the people who can do it.

Hahahahahahaha have fun with that, Texas, and other antivax-friendly states. I’m out of sympathy. You shit your bed, now lie in it.
The problem isn't with the idiots who voted for it though. The problem is that the children, you know the innocent ones who can't make decisions, are the ones who get to suffer. As are the people around the idiots who have weaker immune systems, and who may have not voted for the stupid or may just be too old and/or vulnerable. I love watching the actual idiots get their comeuppance, but I hate seeing innocent people suffer for their arrogant selfishness.
Can I add to this.
There’s a lot of people that aren’t able to get the vaccine who otherwise would be vaccinated.
Immunocompromised, allergy to MMR, chemo, steroids and other meds. The list goes on. These people are now in danger of suffering from hearing loss, brain damage, going blind, lung damage, learning disabilities seizures…and death.
All because Tinfoil Totin Tammy wants to be a Facebook Pharma Fighter but wound up putting the “no” in immunology” instead.
allergy to MMR
That's my wife. To say we're worried would be an understatement.

Oh? I thought you said it was vitamin A, you brain worm dumb fuck
Someone got a blank next to him and severed his link to nurgle?
He didn't seem to care when he got dozens of kids killed by measles in American Samoa, but now that it's white kids in the metropole he changes his tune...
Did anyone check what the greatest intellectual Joe Rogan thinks of his change of mind?
"I'm just a dumb guy, fast tracking fascism and antivax rhetoric to my millions of dumb guy listeners. You shouldn't listen to me."
Narrator: "They listened to him."
Buy your "Not vaxxed, not afraid" baby onesie today!
IIRC, RFK’s stances on health issues were mostly based on a conspiracy theory that the institutions he now leads were deliberately burying studies and mass amounts of data. If that were true, he’d obviously be crowing about it at every opportunity.
Instead, he found out that his conspiracy theories are bullshit, and that he’s now beholden to Trump and MAGA fascism. He’s going to accidentally say something against the narrative from time-to-time. I’m sure Trump or Elon or whoever is in charge will make him do something humiliating to atone for it.
Don’t get me wrong, though. I’m not defending RFK, Jr. it’s extremely sad that the apple fell so very far from the tree.

He is just saying that any vaccine created since Jenny McCarthy got up to speed on Andrew Wakefield's nonsense is bad.
All of those other vaccines that did so much good when he was young are fine.
If it didn't come out of "the good old days" of when these people were in their prime it is some liberal conspiracy after all. /s
*Second most effective way to prevent spread.
Technically, the most effective way is to eliminate all viable hosts.

Is the brain tissue growing back?
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocated for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine during a visit to West Texas on Sunday to comfort two families whose children died of the disease.
Driving the news: Both children in Gaines County were not vaccinated when they died of measles, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Maybe they were too young yet? Somehow I doubt it.
They were not. Even if they were, typically, mmr is pretty standard for the parents and anyone else who will be coming into contact with a child too young. Because this is the result otherwise
The worm in gnawing on his brain must have given him a temporary reprieve. Or perhaps there's a more reasonable explanation to Bear Roadkill-Devouring, Whale Guy suddenly changing stance.
