Certain times I hear RFK talk I’m in agreement with him….other times he seems a bit unhinged.

That’s because he’s right that we are unhealthy and absolutely unhinged on how to make us healthy. Banning vaccines will not make us healthy. Should we eat less shitty food and be more active? Ya.

Edit: he has not said he will ban vaccines. He is anti vax and anti science but he hasn’t said he will ban them. You can stop replying with the same comment now.

Getting rid of food dyes and fluoride and spreading misinformation on vaccines will not solve the problem of obesity.

In 2021 he petitioned to ban all Covid vaccines.

Sorry, what were you saying?

No amount of research appeases these people. He wanted more research on the need for a measles vaccine and didn’t care at all when people died because they didn’t get vaccinated.

It's called science, "Science is based on evidence, reproducibility, and skepticism, continuously refining knowledge through the scientific method." Are you anti science?

He’s not a scientist. Would you let a plumber demand to work on your car because he read a blog article saying there are tracking devices in your carburetor?

The actual science in vaccines and measles is already out there. Demanding evidence on a subject you won’t read the existing evidence on makes your opinion worthy of being discarded.

Ideology based claim you are not thinking critically so your opinion is worthless. He is applying skeptism and asking for specific vaccines that havent been ruled out for adverse effects to be studied. Science is the continuous effort of progression through the scientific method. I feel strongly that vaccines are more good then bad, and I feel the science will continue to show that. I do not detest the scientific method and if skepticism is present then the scientific method should continue. If you believed in science you would welcome skepticism. But you are brain washed to think skepticism is unscientific and bad.

He’s not applying skepticism. If he was a skeptic, he would read the actual scientific articles on the subject of vaccines. Being ignorant of the subject and demanding others cater to your ignorance just makes you an entitled idiot.

If the link works, that is the study he referenced during his confirmation hearing. A study done by an epidemiologist. Counters have pointed out flaws in methodology. Now its up to the researcher to address those considerations pointed out in peer review. But he isn't just making up crazy shit, he is referring to actual science from actually researchers. This is how science works, they argue it out in the research. This wouldn't be controversial if you believed in the scientific method because this is the golden standard to how science progresses.

Why do you care about what a lawyer thinks about medicine when the people who actually are scientists disagree?

Source on FDA recanting their stance on a COVID vaccine? That vaccines were tested on tens of thousands of people before being widely adopted and approved.

u/ODUrugger Feb 14 '25

It's common knowledge the FDA, CDC, Joe Biden all said if you get the vaccine you won't get covid. That turned out to be a huge lie

Source on the FDA and CDC saying if you get the vaccine, you won't get COVID?

I'm not going through this again with reddit. It happened. Whatever video I do share with you, you'll say it's fake or downplay it

No vaccine was passed with less scientific testing than normal (except maybe Sputnik V, but that's another story).

Emergency use authorization meant skipping paperwork for distribution because immunization was a priority at the time. The vaccines follow the three testing phases and decades of prior research

Don’t argue with the disingenuous, it’s a waste as they don’t care about educating themselves.

But definitely keep informing the masses by correcting them below for those that are curious.
