Saying "vaccines are safe" is an irrelevant detail when you voted to hand all of the US government's health organizations over to someone who adamantly insists they are not.
TAPPER: Dr Cassidy, RFK Jr lied to you
CASSIDY: First let me say what's most important -- vaccines are safe.

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

It’s “Positively 4th Street.”
Trump's an opportunist if nothing else. Like the line in the Bob Dylan song Like a Rolling Stone: "You just want to be on the side that's winning." He has no loyalty to anything or anyone, so I'm no more or less incredulous about this turn of events than anything else he does.
