Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

When Russia wanted to take over Ukraine, many Russians discussed the issue and none objected to taking over a sovereign country.
The USA are behaving like Russians, with Canada as angry and unrelenting as Ukraine.
The attitude of Americans is shocking. Shame on them.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.
