More Americans got measles this week than Olivia Nuzzi’s book. Guess which got more press coverage.
1. Measles is ravaging South Carolina.
Over 100 people infected, and hundreds more in quarantine.
In response, RFK Jr., the nation's top public health official, has been SILENT
But it's much worse than that. RFK Jr. and his allies are undermining confidence in the vaccine

its important to remember that, going all the way back to buckley, any time conservatives have denounced their far right fringe it was always a pr move prompted by embarrassing optics and never a principled stand against fascistic zealots whom conservatives instinctively know are part of their base
The idea Buckley was some bulwark against overt bigotry on the right is of course not really true. His ire was targeted at conspiracy theorists and isolationists, defending Jim Crow was fine. But granting that myth of him and then saying now of course we wouldn't want to go *that* far is deranged.
