    The new members include well-known vaccine skeptics and others who have been critical of Covid vaccines or pandemic interventions like lockdowns.

    Because, of course.

    Lies that he won’t touch the panel, then “replaces” that panel with cretins of his own germ-theory-denying vaccine-hating dubious fuck-witted sewer-swimming out-of-his-goddamned-worm-eaten-brain ilk.

    Many will die needlessly from this fuckery.

    Lemme guess, not one of them has any related education.

    Edit: "The list includes Dr. Robert Malone, an anti-vaccine activist who suggested earlier this year, without evidence, that recent pediatric deaths from measles were due to medical error and Vicky Pebsworth, director of research and patient safety at the National Vaccine Information Center, considered a leading source of misinformation about vaccines.

      Completly expected but still sad. If there are ever elections again I can only hope the next administration holds him accountable.

      I’d love to just enter the mind of someone like this to see what the thought process is… I guess his personal crusade is more important than basic honesty about reality

    I don’t understand the end game here. What possible benefit is there to RFK or the federal government to reject sound science? I don’t see a profit motive, I don’t see a grift that’d be “worth” the deaths… it’s not like ivermectin is something you could profit off of… why?

      For him, it’s about being right. After learning a bit about his past, it seems (to me anyway) that having an autistic kid kind of broke him. He’s been trying to fix it ever since. It’s sad, really.
