QUACK! QUACK! Secretary of Health RFK Jr. said a paper that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and disease must be retracted. The journal refused. In an extraordinary move for a U.S. public official, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has demanded the retraction

It's useful to think of Trump's political style as a form of "fan service," which is distinct from the "constituent service" we used to associate with the role of elected officials. I took this picture in March of *2022* at a Republican event in Salem, Oregon. That flag seemed bonkers at the time.

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
