RFK has publicly come out and encouraged parents to get vaccinated for measles.

Oh great he's doing it now after causing fear and doubt about them for decades, getting many people killed, in Samoa for example.

  Most of his criticisms have been about the timing of certain vaccines administrations. He's not anti vax. If nobody can challenge science, then it's not science. Vaccines continues to help us, but that doesn't mean they are perfect and don't cause side effects on certain individuals. Hopefuly the future brings us highly personalized medicine instead of a 1 size fits all.

    > If nobody can challenge science, then it's not science. If someone has spent some time actually learning science then of course they can challenge science. If they are a lazy halfwit parroting crap they listened to on the latest podcast (because reading is hard!)... no. Not so much.

    Claiming RFK is not anti-vax, is like claiming Dario is not anti-open-weights. (Well, it's way worse that that, but I didn't want to invoke Godwin's law.) He is not "challenging science" with measured arguments and carefully controlled peer-reviewed research to back his claims. He's deliberately trying to silence science because of a completely unsupported brain fart. And no, it's not about "timing". It's about spreading baseless FUD to discourage any form of vaccination, because he believes (with no actual evidence, and despite vast amounts of research to the contrary) that vaccination causes autism.

    I mean would you let your non coding coke head brainwormed manager challenge your coding choices? He is not a doctor or scientist, why would we listen to him. And any experts relying on using are horse dewormer grifters or worse.
