This video remains undeleted. Watch 2 very powerful officials today discuss their plan for herd immunity via mass infection 5 years ago. (Or skip to minute 11 to hear it). It’s important to remember. youtu.be/rz_Z7Gf1aRE

For Important Context, we use “anti-vaccine activist” or “anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist,” be cause both fit. He’s a lunatic who made a lot of money peddling bullshit about lifesaving medicine.

"What eroded trust was the COVID vaccine" No, it was the fucking dipshits like RFK Jr, Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad who spread misinformation and contrarianism as a profiteering industry.

You are partly responsible for everything that has happened. This was a month ago. I recognize you will never reflect on your ongoing errors, much less apologize for the harm you’ve done with your former credibility & influence. But a lot of people remember, & your complicity is part of your legacy.

They were mid-tier players known for being contrarians. They were given power because of loyalty, not competency. So now, they lie: CDC didn’t insist schools close — decisions were local. The CDC didn’t “push cloth masks for three years” — but their idiot base has retconned that into reality.

RFK jr, a man with a laundry list of behavioral problems is running the HHS (including the CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS). If he wants to personally have cult-beliefs, that's on him – but we must not allow him to project his own pathological beliefs onto 345 million people of this country. This is not science.

Just tried watching Ezra Klein’s latest NYT podcast episode on how the U.S. got to this point where vaccines are so politicized. It’s pretty clear that Klein and his guests—David Wallace Wells and Rachael Bedard—really do not understand why/how the political right turned on vaccines.
