No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.
Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.
“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

When Trump said he would consider deporting US citizens, he wasn’t joking.
And he’s starting with American babies.
If he can deport a single citizen without due process, he can do it to anyone.
And if he comes for your baby, it won’t matter if you voted for him or not.

This is the sort of spectacularly dumb thing a scientifically illiterate ignoramus w/no training in psychiatry, psychology, medicine, neuroscience & research would claim. RFK, Jr. can't even begin to fathom the complexity of a question like this. Perhaps this is a set-up to falsely blame vaccines.
