#𝚁𝙵𝙺Jr

May I join the chorus of people who have said that #RFKJr is a mendacious sack of shit who has killed kids and continues to kill kids with his anti-vaxx lies?

He can't walk this back and act like he's a vaccine cheerleader. He's a lying propagandist for a death cult. We had *eradicated* measles in the US, and RFKJr has been critical to bringing it back.

Continued thread

Instead of Making America Healthy Again #Trump & #RFKJr are crippling #HHS services, some statutorily required by Congress, with mass layoffs shutting down entire departments that were keeping Americans safe without an operational restructured replacement. For example, any delays in food & drug recalls while they gut the agency risk American lives.

"Got to say it takes a lot of nerve for #RFKjr to attend the funeral of a child he's at least partly responsible for killing."

I saw that, and thought as I have so many times lately that the #Republican party has lost all sense of appropriate optics and is simply running full speed ahead into whatever wall it's created for itself

And for good measure the #GOP will then slam its hand in whatever door is available

A political party of bomb-throwing loose cannons

"The number one lesson that Donald Trump took from the pandemic on his watch is that it was bad for him politically. For him, utter ignorance was preferable to public information panic and preparedness. Kennedy is the mad bad tool implementing that lesson now in his powerful position running the nation's health agencies right into the ground."
