Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Vaccination against measles represents 60% of the benefit.

RFK is going on the news and telling people “it would be better if everyone got measles.” He is dangerously ignorant.

Dr. Yale Belanger at University of Lethbridge is not an American Republican. This is because he is Canadian.

Yale College has purged EVERY Republican supporter from its faculty
Yale University did not have a single professor donate to a Republican candidate in 2025 as ideological diversity on Ivy League campuses remains under scrutiny.
