Trump to select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS
The choice will roil many public health experts after his years of touting debunked claims that vaccines cause autism.

I wasted 5 years of my life trying to prevent this from happening. I blame medical establishment, organized medicine, & academic institutions that looked at us like we were crazy & never joined the fight.

Dismantling US vaccination policy will lead to more vaccine-preventable disease in kids. But how easy will it be to monitor the impact of the erosion of vaccine coverage? New data collection rule changes raise serious concerns about how visible results will be. www.statnews.com/2026/01/14/c...
States no longer have to report Medicaid, CHIP vaccination rates to CMS, further undermining immunization
Medicaid and CHIP cover almost half of American children. A new CMS policy means we will know less about their health.

Indeed: the folks who supported and campaigned for RFK Jr, and even spoke at his rallies, did indeed end up getting leadership positions in the MAGA/MAHA government—a quid pro quo!
They supported him because they wanted jobs in the administration. I hope their peers never let them live it down.

Bhattacharya was never censored.
He had his day in court—up to the Supreme Court even. This Supreme Court, mind you. Extremely friendly to right-wingers.
And he still couldn’t prove his claim, which he keeps making regardless.

Again, odd Bhattacharya - um, better things to do? – so concerned with me.
The grifter "we were censored!" whine = disingenuous political ranting.
Reality: studies (including our own work) shows their narrative DOMINANT in media, on socials, politically
Now? MAGA = censorship machine. The irony.
