    1. **From reporter Jillian Wilson:**

      Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary, is making changes that threaten the public health system, from telling lies about the childhood vaccine schedule to replacing credible members of a vaccine advisory panel with people known to spread misinformation.

      Groups like the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have spoken out against these changes, and some major medical associations are even suing Kennedy in response to his changes to the COVID-19 vaccine schedule.

      Kennedy’s attack on vaccines isn’t exactly a surprise — he has a history of anti-vaccine remarks, which was a major talking point throughout his Senate confirmation hearings earlier this year. Specifically, his beliefs were front and center during a heated exchange in which Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) brought up a comment that Kennedy once made about vaccinations and the Black community.

      In 2021, Kennedy had said, “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites, because their immune system is better than ours.”

      Alsobrooks asked Kennedy to explain what he meant by that remark, and he went on to reference a “series of studies” while saying research shows that “Blacks need fewer antigens.” (For the record, experts say that this is not true.)

    2. Project 2026:  We The People Agenda

      Money taken out of politics and put into schools, communities and healthcare facilities.

      Media and tech companies pay an attention tax to people who provide data to train their models.

      Nobody left to die because of hunger, thirst, lack of shelter, or not having medical coverage.

      No more spending the amount of the next 10 countries combined on defense.

      Raise taxes (only on the super rich).

      Term limits for all.

      Justice, transparency, and accountability for all involved in Epstein files.

      Next steps

      Visualize it, modify it, own it, spread it.

      Hold them accountable.

      Focus. Do not allow them to distract.

      If our elected officials won’t create a bipartisan agenda that puts us first — we will.

      This could be the best 250th birthday gift we ever give our country.

      The vast majority of Americans already support these ideas. Now it’s time for us to control the narrative and take the power back.

      Didn’t he fire all of the actual vaccine experts? Let’s release the Trump-Epstein files; there’s a non-zero chance RFK is in them too

      I believe Kennedy should stick to what he knows. Medicine isn’t it. Decapitating whales and collecting roadkill bear cubs are not on the curriculum of any medical school. When it comes to matching Cabinet secretaryships and other high positions with the right people, it almost seems that Donald Trump uses some bizarre spin-the-bottle procedure. That would explain a lot.

      I worked in medical and especially mental health for years and I always though of mental illness the same way that I think of diabetes or cancer, They’re just people with an illness so I never thought of them as crazy or as anything more than a sick patient.

      Kennedy is one of the most insane people I have ever seen and his grating voice is a naturally evolving warning sign that you are physically too close to him racist or not.

      It’s only stunning if you haven’t listened to him speak any time for the last 30 years. The man has been a proponent of eugenics for DECADES.

      Saying the quiet part out loud, but who else does RFK think should die?

    9. Epstein associate RFK Jr?

      You know Diddler J. Taco raped and trafficked children with Epstein & Maxwell for decades. Interesting that Diddler would hire mutual associate RFK Jr.

      … doncha think?

    10. Constant-Lake8006 on

      RFK Jr’s claims sparking concerns from medical experts is just another day in America.

    11. I am shocked, shocked I say, that RFK Jr said something baseless, unscientific, and just stupid.

      PS – I am referring to series of studies that indicate he’s a dolt.

    12. Crazy-Boysenberry452 on

      He also said black people have a higher pain tolerance too.  A very racist theory from racist doctors who don’t want to treat black patients.  BTW no human race acts to pain different.  Threshold for pain is different but by body type.  I’m guessing it’s the same to vaccines. 

    13. “It echoes some of the rhetoric that [Trump] has shared around eugenics and immigrants,” Blackstock said. “He’s talked about immigrants [having ‘bad genes’](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/donald-trump-says-there-are-a-lot-bad-genes-among-migrants-us-2024-10-07/) or ‘[poisoning the blood of our country](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-immigrants-are-poisoning-blood-country-biden-campaign-liken-rcna130141).’ “

      Jesus.

    14. >In 2021, Kennedy had said, “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites, because their immune system is better than ours.”

      Is MAGA gonna freak out over him being to „woke“ now because he said black people have better immune system? 😂

    15. wowlock_taylan on

      This was ALL public knowledge BEFORE he was nominated.

      Where was all the god damn headlines then?

    16. > “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites, because their immune system is better than ours.”

      Ah yes, an idea born from the old timey „We can work the slaves harder than would seem humane, because they have stronger backs and can take it.“

      edit: It has also been used to justify denying healthcare to black people. Just insist they naturally have more robust and healthier bodies, and are thus less in need than white people.

    17. Call. Them. Lies. Why the fuck is it so hard for you “journalists” to actually call these bad faith idiots out?

    18. Republicans spending all their political capital to protect and worship a pedophile has distracted away from the real damage this freak has been causing behind the scenes. Literally no way to know how many years he’s undone with his firings etc

      We are on the brink of another generation of black people from distrusting medicine

    20. This is the sort of shit my racist great grandma used to say. She was raised in the South and had all sorts of insane racist talking points. She said that black guys made better football players because „you can’t hurt them if they get hit on the head.“

      She was born before the airplane and never had an education passed the 9th grade.

      The fuck is RFK JR.’s excuse?

    21. espressocycle on

      Amazingly, his statement reflected what was until very recently accepted medical standards. It was only a few years ago that Black patients had a different kidney function baseline for transplants. Many doctors still believe Black people have higher resistance to pain.

    22. RFK HAS UNTREATED MENTAL ILLNESS THAT HE SELF MEDICATED FOR 15 YEARS BEFORE A WORM ATE HIS BRAIN.

    23. Black people don’t need vaccines.

      Black people have a higher pain tolerance.

      Black people have thicker skin.

      Black people have more muscle mass and thus can be worked harder and longer.

      Black people can tolerate high temperatures.

      This black person has heard it all. And all of it comes from the same well of poison: The belief that black people are brutes who are more suited for physical labor than anyone else.

      Also, RFK Jr.seems unaware that there is a huge diversity of folks under the „black people“ umbrella. And because of the one-drop rule, we have a lot of people who are visually classified as black by your average American but are mixed with everything under the sun. Should someone who has 70% West African ancestry be discouraged from getting vaccines? At what tipping point of Subsaharan ancestry does someone become superhuman? I need to know so I can order my cape.

      „RFK sparks concern from medical experts“ is just his default state.

      RFK Jr‘. Fucks children.

      But he prefers them as roadkill when he does it.

      Well that’s what I heard.

    26. The_Jolly_Dog on

      Honestly I saw the title of this post and I KNEW that reading what he actually said would just piss me off.

      And I was proven right. RFK Jr is a fucking idiot and racist, but opening that article was on me.

      And now I’m just in a bad mood

    27. This is literally an eighteenth century British theory. Historians estimate that roughly a third of all the African-Americans in Virginia who fled to the British cause, hoping to win their liberty by fighting for Dunmore, died of disease—because the British believed that African-Americans could not get smallpox, and never bothered to inoculate them.

      When smallpox hit Dunmore’s flotilla, the British were largely immune thanks to vaccinations, but the Black recruits died in their hundreds. They were isolated in huts on Gwynn Island, and the dead were buried in shallow mass burials. Dunmore was forced to abandon his grand idea of a free Ethiopian Regiment—and Virginia. When the Patriots rolled up on Gwynn Island, they then set the huts with the sick inside on fire.

      Not a great moment in US history, tbh. But my point is that we learned back in 1776 that Black folks need vaccines too. Two hundred and forty-nine YEARS ago.

      RFK Jr in the position he is in should freak every medical professional out. He’s a massive threat to American safety
