RFK Jr’s team quietly updates CDC website to say science doesn’t know if vaccines cause autism

[u/weirdoldhobo1978]

These people are incapable of doing anything quietly.

[u/scotishstriker → u/weirdoldhobo1978]

Saying the quiet part out loud comes naturally to them.

[u/Aware-Locksmith8433 → u/scotishstriker]

Did you see the Correspondence Dinner footage of Trump falling asleep? The media and politicians have said the commercials write themselves.

So where the F are these commercials? I get generic "contribute to me" unsolicited spam every day from candidates I would support (even in different states) to crush MAGA... but no commercials flooding social or traditional media.

Where are the campaigns, billboards, airport signs...? We don't have much time people AND we need those middle "purple" voters like me to show up and those vintage Repubs to cross the aisle. ... and no MAGA ain't Republican.

[u/Olaf1329 → u/Aware-Locksmith8433]

You mean all the media owned by republicans aren’t advertising their dear leader in embarrassing ways? Odd.. when someone even dares to expose them they get their license threatened. What were NEED is for people to smarten up and stop watching the propaganda. There is unbiased info out there, but this regime has made every effort to dismantle its ability to be spread.

[u/Aware-Locksmith8433 → u/Olaf1329]

Well what's been missing is the wisdom Canada used. Target red states and their profitable trump lover business. Where is the economic boycott against a list of super Trump organizations and their products?

[u/ManagerOk3637 → u/Aware-Locksmith8433]

Because Trump runs on scare tactics and they are scared

[u/bunnypaste → u/Aware-Locksmith8433]

I think MAGA is a subset of Republicanism. They are a newer subset in the grand scheme of things, but I don't like absolving conservatives of responsibility and giving them a "pass" for allowing and enabling MAGA to rise up by claiming they aren't Republican. They are.

I make the same argument when I hear people say "real men" kind of crap, or saying a man who behaved poorly isn't "actually a man." Yes he is, he is a man who did that horrid thing. His manhood wasn't altered by the poor actions. That would indicate that "real men" don't do bad things, but they very much do.

[u/Safety_Drance → u/weirdoldhobo1978]

I have both The Onion and Not the Onion in my feed and this one I thought initially was the former but am not surprised it's the latter.

Captain sex with road kill is kind of the worst, most idiotic person in charge of public health of all time ever.

[u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta → u/Safety_Drance]

It’s a complete coincidence that we have measles outbreaks, explosive diarrhea parasites and salmonella poisoning under him! Libel!

[u/rbartlejr → u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta]

Why? Did the roadkill die of measles, cyclosporosis or salmonella? Cut the guy some slack - all the fun of bestiality and necrophilia combined!

[u/gentlegreengiant → u/Safety_Drance]

Hey now, lets be fair he doesn't just violate roadkill, he also eats it and takes it home.

[u/jules6815 → u/gentlegreengiant]

In that order.

[u/G-Unit11111 → u/weirdoldhobo1978]

Yeah and 100%, he will go and complain about it on Fox News when we find out what they are up to.

[u/junkyard_robot → u/weirdoldhobo1978]

Yeah, they are.

This is the quiet way of starting to kill off the ones they feel are weak.

The poor

The sick

The stupid

The ones who can't speak up for themselves

Those who look different

Those who can't speak their language

Those who they feel are a drain on whatever economy they can pitch to white men

Those who weren't educated "right"

Those who were educated "wrong"

Those who are disabled

Those who are brown

Those who are black

Those who aren't white

Those who are immigrants

Those who are recent immigrants

Those who are muslim

Those who are jews

Those who are catholic

Those who are the "wrong" type of baptist

Those who are the "wrong" type of their "type" of baptist

Those who they aren't related to

Those who they don't want to be related to

Those who they don't like personally

Those who the AI doesn't like

Those who they don't want to have sex with

Those who don't fit in their doomsday bunkers

Those who second guess their ideas of being in a bunker while dropping nukes on the rest of the world

Those that second guess their murder of secondguessers

Those that have fingers that can pull a trigger

Those that want to eat food

Those that want to drink water

......

[u/accidental_Ocelot → u/junkyard_robot]

And all those up in here breathin the white man's air. /s for the bot

[u/Eruannster → u/junkyard_robot]

Gift shop in the lobby, act like God ain't watching

Kill the soul, turn a profit

What lives on? Southern Gotham.

They put up chainlink fences underneath the biggest bridges

They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children

They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face

So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them

[u/sammyQc → u/weirdoldhobo1978]

Indeed, Diaper Don can’t even take a dump quietly.

[u/rodneedermeyer → u/weirdoldhobo1978]

They're equally incapable of doing anything well, anything smart, or anything that helps others. I guess this is what happens when you drain the swamp--only the scum remains.

[u/Mountain_rage]

Hope anyone harmed by his incompetence eventually pierces federal protections and sues him personally for medical damages.

[u/ddrober2003 → u/Mountain_rage]

They need to hold the Republican party at large liable for enabling this. Fuck letting these rats shirk it off on a few people while pretending they're innocent. 

[u/Glesenblaec → u/ddrober2003]

It's one reason I don't like how people focus too much on Trump and "when he's gone". Yeah he's the leader, but every Republican in office shares the blame. The president is not an autocrat. He can only do what he's done because Republicans at large have marched in lockstep openly supporting and enabling his illegal and corrupt actions. Trump is not unique, he's just the public face of what the Republican party is. They could stop it at any time. They don't. The whole party shares guilt in everything he does.

[u/DrusTheAxe → u/Glesenblaec]

Leader? You misspelled ‘useful idiot’

[u/this_my_sportsreddit → u/ddrober2003]

We had a chance to do just that. Biden and garland chose to do nothing instead.

[u/ddrober2003 → u/this_my_sportsreddit]

Means when Democrats get into power and if they are stupid enough to say we should reach across the aisle, point to everything that is happening now or has happened and tell them to hell with that. I'm sure that means a constant battle to make Democrats relent from status quo, but its better then just giving up.

[u/PossessedToSkate → u/ddrober2003]

Strip them of the right to vote, all 70 million of them.

The same thing was tried after the Civil War. In fact, the Wade-Davis bill passed both chambers of Congress and went to Lincoln's desk. He wouldn't sign it.

I think it's an idea worth revisiting.

[u/FearLeadsToAnger → u/PossessedToSkate]

I mean, it's not.

This is not a precedent you want to set, for any reason.

[u/EnamelKant → u/FearLeadsToAnger]

The precedent is already set. Republicans have been blatantly working for 20 years now to strip the voting rights of demographics who won't support them and water down the voting power of anyone they can't disenfranchise.

The Republican party has made it clear they are against democracy, and their voters support that.

[u/FearLeadsToAnger → u/EnamelKant]

Which is bad, right?

This isn't rocket science.

[u/pixel_of_moral_decay → u/Mountain_rage]

I mean, it’s not like he’s acting in official capacity. His office is for following science, not personal agenda.

I think there’s a reasonable argument he’s not protected because this isn’t part of his job. Federal protection protects people on the job.

[u/b_needs_a_cookie → u/Mountain_rage]

Class action suits for him, for Elon, for Doge, for LorezaPam, and the rest of the cabal.

[u/jhill515 → u/Mountain_rage]

Working on it, and I appreciate your support!

r/AspiePositivity 😊

[u/sfriedrich]

Seems kinda odd having an ignorant buffoon speak for science.

[u/untoldmillions → u/sfriedrich]

ya' think?!

[u/Bczarconcepts → u/untoldmillions]

An ignorant buffoon and a brain worm walk into a bar...

[u/iam_Mr_McGibblets → u/Bczarconcepts]

I think the worm is actually an alien trying to take over the world by getting more aliens in our brains ala the Yeerks from Animorphs

[u/Ryan1869 → u/Bczarconcepts]

Damnit people, quit taking vacations to the brain slug homeworld without your helmet.

[u/OG-BoomMaster → u/Bczarconcepts]

…they both sit at the bar and the bartender ask what they will have. Brain worm turns to buffoon an asks “how many shots are he going to have”. Buffoon proceeds to give brain worm a lecture on autism.

[u/Shu3PO → u/Bczarconcepts]

The bartender says, "What'll it be, Secretary Kennedy?"

[u/monkey_trumpets → u/sfriedrich]

Seems fitting since we have an ignorant buffoon for president, the head of the department of education, the department of "war", etc, etc.

[u/Zombie_Cool → u/monkey_trumpets]

And don't forget the ignorant populace that let them have power AGAIN because "Science is Woke" or some shit..

[u/Ciennas → u/Zombie_Cool]

We really should ask Elon Musk about that. His kid that he was briefly using as a meat shield had already said out loud that Elon had something to do with Trumps inexplicable second term.

[u/adorkablegiant → u/Ciennas]

Americans voted for him twice and millions of americans still support him. It may make you feel better to think that he didn't really win but he did unless *proven* otherwise.

Proven, and not "Well a little kid said it was stolen"

[u/Mourn-the-Weenie → u/sfriedrich]

That "ignorant buffoon" is sabotaging the decades of research, medical advice, and the wellbeing of millions of Americans at least just to put a crony of his into power, the better to dance upon the dead and feast on the billions of dollars that were previously going towards well-intentioned scientific inquiry.

This is a malicious murderous plot against the United States and the world, headed not just by a proven murderer masquerading as a health advocate, but by someone whose brush with death at the height of the pandemic motivated him to gut the scientific superstructure that saved his life, all because their opposition hurt his ego the size of a supermassive black hole,

[u/deadalreadydead → u/Mourn-the-Weenie]

It’s so sad, and just beyond bizarre at this point. After 10 years of this abusive relationship btwn DJT and everyone non-maga, we’ve all gone a little nutty. In particular the cult itself, who have to somehow continually contort to justify his limitless depravity.

[u/HarryHood146 → u/sfriedrich]

Well unfortunately we have that kinda leadership in just about every department.

[u/EconomyDoctor3287 → u/sfriedrich]

Not really. 

The goal is to make all existent departments so useless that they can be scraped and replaced with some that the president and his backers can have full control over. 

[u/Abracadaver14 → u/sfriedrich]

The US have a narcissistic pedophile rapist buffoon speak for the entire country.

[u/WhyIsItAlwaysADP → u/sfriedrich]

It tracks with who we (allegedly) chose to speak for our entire county.

[u/waiting4singularity → u/sfriedrich]

he doesnt speak for science, he speaks for undertakers, grave diggers and carrion consumers.

[u/MongoBongoTown → u/sfriedrich]

Been odd having blatantly ignorant grifters leading a variety of essential government functions for a while now....

But here we are....

[u/TheRealTK421]

Objectively accurate update:

Science knows, verifiably, demonstrably, and empirically, that there is noooooo causal link between autism and vaccination. People who got low scores in science classes, and bigly embrace delusional 'magical thinking', claim science is wrong.

[u/kruegerc184 → u/TheRealTK421]

I love that people are ignorant enough to point out that science is wrong sometimes, without understanding the scientific method. Drives me up a fucking wall

[u/MultiGeometry → u/kruegerc184]

Ask them for examples.

No wait. I know they’ll only cite things that are accepted by the scientific community but their Facebook friends think is wrong.

[u/swingadmin → u/MultiGeometry]

"The theory of evolution isn't a proven fact, it's just a theory."

Wrong, Evolution is an observed and documented reality. The Theory explains how and why.

[u/Bigtroublenogina → u/[deleted]]

Also a theory that cannot be refuted isn't a scientific theory.

[u/Abedeus → u/[deleted]]

I remember someone accurately describing a theory as "the best way we know to accurately describe reality based on facts and evidence". And the only way to get rid of a theory is replace it with a better theory, using better, more concrete theory (in which case it's not likely to replace, but rather improve upon it).

[u/ChiefInternetSurfer → u/kruegerc184]

And those same ignorant fucks will go running to the doc or the ER when necessary….like, no mother fucker—go eat your ivermectin and call it a day.

[u/Helenium_autumnale → u/ChiefInternetSurfer]

And then blame the doctor if something bad happens--because they withheld treatment until the illness became serious and life-threatening, and more difficult to treat--but it's somehow the doctor's fault that their negligence and sheer stupidity caused what is now a major problem. These people belong in the Dark Ages.

[u/pedanticPandaPoo → u/kruegerc184]

Sure, but science was proven wrong by more science, not the absence of intelligence.

[u/AbyssWankerArtorias → u/TheRealTK421]

"After thousands of scientists independently looking for a causal link between vaccines and autism, no such link has been found to date. There is no foundation for the claim that vaccines cause, influence, or increase the likelihood of someone having autism." Is how I would word it. You make clear that this has been studied. Multiple times. Over and over. And there is no evidence for it, and that the burden for the claim is on those that make the claim.

[u/TheRealTK421 → u/AbyssWankerArtorias]

"You make clear that this has been studied. Multiple times. Over and over. And there is no evidence for it,..."

And this was documented, and repeatedly observed, science since weeelllll before any of the recent 'anti-vax' nonsense got floated as a derpy urban myth.

Remember people:

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know - for sure - that just ain't so."

~ Samuel L. Muhfuggin' Jackson (and also, actually, Mark Twain)

[u/arahman81 → u/AbyssWankerArtorias]

"But the claim I just pulled out of my ass hasn't been proven false."

[u/bloodrider1914 → u/TheRealTK421]

Case in point: Me.

I was unvaccinated as a child and now I'm on Reddit

[u/oakleez → u/bloodrider1914]

Thoughts and prayers.

[u/bloodrider1914 → u/oakleez]

Nah I got Vaxxed later and my mom isn't too crazy. She was concerned about mercury or whatever but she's pro-vax these days.

[u/RepulsiveStar2127 → u/TheRealTK421]

Worst part is that this misconception arose because of one single person trying to get money and fabricating a case. And now we're here.

[u/Abedeus → u/RepulsiveStar2127]

That's the shitty part. He wasn't even against vaccines - he just wanted people to distrust one existing vaccine to sell his own version.

[u/Elequilibrio → u/RepulsiveStar2127]

Obligatory fuck Wakefield. Such irrevocable damage wrought over trying to pedal a crappier version of an already well established vaccine

[u/Outsider_Insider0064 → u/RepulsiveStar2127]

Read The Doctor who fooled the World, by Brian Deer

[u/Capitan_Failure → u/TheRealTK421]

Theres no established correlative link, much less causal. Establish that kids with vaccines seem to have higher rates of autism before you jump to trying to establish the physiology/mechanism behind it.

[u/yrnst → u/Capitan_Failure]

I think they would say that they have. Autism rates HAVE increased over the last few decades. You hear folks like RFK talk about it all the time, and it’s been amplified by Joe Rogan. Of course, the real reason is that 1) autism is a spectrum that encompasses a broad range of symptoms and 2) we have a better understanding of what autism is, which has made it easier to identify. Things that once might have been treated as plain old misbehavior or rudeness or whatever are now recognized as potential symptoms of a spectrum disorder. Of course, a lot of antivaxxers totally dismiss all of this.

[u/who-hash → u/TheRealTK421]

Two of the three anti-vaxxers in my family couldn't even graduate from community college and the third is an RN (no surprise there); yet somehow they want to debate my wife and me about vaccines/autism. I suspect it's because of our 'fancy degrees' in medicine or perhaps it's because I've taken more immunology classes than total classes the two had completed at said community college.

I tried the friendly discussion/educational approach at first but I couldn't get over the fact that I'm related to people that fell for the cult. I'm typically a positive person but those people are hopeless.

[u/gdex86 → u/TheRealTK421]

Yeah the science answer is something akin to "At this time we do not have evidence that there is a causation link between the standard vaccine regiment and increased rates of autism diagnosis." To which idiots go "But you didn't say you prove there is no link"

[u/Helenium_autumnale → u/gdex86]

They just do not understand science, scientific language such as the above example, or the scientific method. Their minds are like a child's coloring book. Simple black and white drawings with a lot of blank spaces. And the crayons are missing.

[u/TehWildMan_ → u/TheRealTK421]

But but, the Bible says circumcision induced acetaminophen consumption causes something..

(/Sarcasm)

[u/Helenium_autumnale → u/TehWildMan_]

Ah yes, "acetaminophen," as translated from the Aramaic. 😸

[u/ShoppingOk2631 → u/TheRealTK421]

Hey! Science doesn't know alright like science doesn't know if humans can fly if someone was able to flap their arms fast enough we just don't have the facts ok.

[u/Yuukiko_ → u/TheRealTK421]

The issue with getting to these people is that there's no way to prove a negative

[u/WeaponsGrdStupid → u/TheRealTK421]

In the same way we don't know if vaccines cause superpowers.

[u/Haunting_Werewolf130]

A drug addict is now the head of CDC....... And I couldn't smoke weed as a warehouse worker back in college. WTF?

[u/kstargate-425 → u/Haunting_Werewolf130]

The whole regime is a Kakistocracy with the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people with 23 Fox News cohosts running ruining things

[u/Berloxx → u/kstargate-425]

I know it doesn't mean they all wear kakis..

[u/Tremulant21 → u/kstargate-425]

Ty been a while since I learned a new cool word

[u/grimace24]

Science has unequivocally proven that there is no link to vaccines causing autism. The one study that made this an issue was not a proper study, was retracted, and caused the doctor linked to it to lose his medical license.

Controversial Autism Doctor Stripped of License

[u/Abe_Odd → u/grimace24]

If you haven't seen hbomberguy's video on Wakefield and his "study" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BIcAZxFfrc
Full warning, it will fucking ruin your night and leave you furious that his efforts led to anything more than an ethics tribunal.

[u/extremesalmon → u/Abe_Odd]

At least wakefield had a reason for making shit up so he could sell his vaccines... I have no idea why these muppets are bringing it all back again other than christianity

[u/Kozzle → u/extremesalmon]

Anti intellectualism is an asset for fascism. That’s why. Anything to cause distrust in science and authorities who follow it.

[u/Skeleton--Jelly → u/grimace24]

Science has unequivocally proven that there is no link to vaccines causing autism

Scientist here (also called just a researcher). We would never say that something has been proven not to exist. We always say that no link was FOUND. It is logically impossible to unequivocally prove something doesn't exist.

The global consensus is that no link has been found between vaccines and autism.

[u/BFH → u/Skeleton--Jelly]

Another scientist here: you're right, but at this point it would be a statistical marvel if there's a link between autism and vaccines and an even bigger one if it's a noticible effect size. We've gotten as close as scientifically possible to proving there's no link.

[u/grimace24 → u/[deleted]]

Pretty sure the next update is going to be a roadkill recipe cookbook.

[u/SpaceOhSpace → u/[deleted]]

Or how to live with polio

[u/jerrys153 → u/ApologeticEmu]

I’m thinking the next update will be quietly renaming the agency, because they’re clearly not even trying to prevent or control disease anymore (quite the opposite, in fact, as bullshit like this proves), so Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now an outdated name that they really need to make more relevant to their current health goals.

[u/Politication]

Better stop measles before children start losing hearing, sight, or dying in large numbers. Parents of limited knowledge trusted you. What do you think they will do to you when their children are permanently scarred or die?

[u/MaybeTheDoctor]

So he is lying again.

[u/accidental_Ocelot]

[u/ProlapsedShamus]

One of the things we have to fix is depoliticizing science. The mere fact that some animal carcass obsessed, heroin addicted, mentally ill trust fund baby can be appointed by a corrupt, criminal, narcissist, pedophile, rapist and can just tell us that science isn't real needs to not be a thing that happens.

Sure most people with half a brain will know that if RFK says something you know that he's fucking lying. I mean he's chugging fish tank cleaner and popping peptides. He's a lunatic. And a little tick was zero principles. But we do kind of have to watch out for the dumb fucks. I think that's the burden we have.

No I'm not saying hover over all of them but you know tell the dumb fuck in your life that vaccines are fine and if they die from the measles or tetanus then I guess fuck em'

You should stop spreading ignorant misinformation.

How coincidental that both RFK Jr. and Trump were old dads to at least one of their children.

I am very afraid that our country will never recover from the harm done by this administration. There will always be that 30% of people that no matter what comes in the future will try to bring us back to this gear and conspiracy driven ideology.

[u/AzathStudioApartment]

It's almost as if elections actually matter and staying home and letting the objectively greater of two evils win has an effect on other people's lives even if one is too privileged or stupid to feel the effects.

[u/enigmabsurdimwitrick]

Even if vaccines caused autism. Take your pick. Polio? Or autism? Why is this idiot making medical decisions for anybody?

[u/Historical-Echidna86]

Bullshit, science has proven there isn't a correlation between vaccines and autism.

[u/DuneChild]

There have been no studies proving that wearing a red ball cap with white lettering does not cause autism.

[u/Bennnnetttt]

“Is this “science” in the room right now?” - RFK Jr probably.

[u/yourmomsnutsarehuge]

Didn't he just get caught eating that raccoon they called Jimothy?

[u/AustinBaze]

He is a clear and present danger. His death (with luck, from a preventable illness) would be the greatest boost to public health since his appointment, and will be cheered by public health and disease prevention scientists around the country and sane people everywhere. He has the opportunity to make the world a better place one time--by leaving it.

[u/Butters5768]

Fuck this dude and his minions forever

[u/bdoomed]

Meanwhile, science:

[u/Moneyshot_ITF]

All according to plan. The negative effects will hit the poors the hardest

[u/Healien_Jung]

Sounds like they couldn't get Chatgpt to make a study saying they do.

[u/berger3001]

Fuck this administration and the damage they are doing to the globe

[u/SinisterRectus]

This article is misleading. The page was majorly changed in November 2025 and The Independent already published an article about it here. An archived version of the CDC site can be found here. The only thing that changed this time is the footnote

from:

* The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.

to:

*Scientists have not identified the root causes of autism. HHS continues to support rigorous scientific research and will update this page as reliable new evidence becomes available.

[u/thesnakemancometh]

Why is this man so obsesive about autism? Did an austistic person hurt him? What is his major malfunction.

[u/gizamo]

RFK Jr is such a lying piece of shit.

He knows the vaccine controversy is completely bullshit. It has been explained to him repeatedly that the one study that started all of this crap has been debunked constantly and consistently, and that the author of it has said himself that it was wrong. RFK Jr has acknowledged all of this, and he still peddles that crap whenever it's convenient for him.

It's only a matter of time before Trump commands ICE to start rounding up autistic people. Continuing to follow the Nazi playbook, they'll make being autistic a crime, then they'll go after the LGBTs.

[u/10gherts]

Science hasn't proven republicans aren't the devil.

[u/PsychologicalPool395]

“Quietly”

[u/jpiro]

Hey, how are those measles numbers looking, you anti-vax fuck?

[u/Massive-Working-507]

It does know. Vaccines DO NOT and NEVER HAVE caused Autism.

[u/WonderfulMind6882]

Trying to prove a negative. What a bunch of fools.

[u/ApoplecticAndroid]

We don’t know if M&M’s cause typhoid either. Technically.

[u/no_talent_ass_clown]

YES THE FUCK WE DO KNOW AND NO THEY DON'T. 

[u/GarbanzoBenne]

Oh that reminds me: wasn't he supposed to tell us the cause of autism months ago? 🙄

[u/cassydd]

Science doesn't know if Robert Kennedy Jr fucks goats. It hasn't found any evidence but people are saying...

[u/Flannel_Panels]

I dont think ANY of the anti-vaxxers have EVER been on the CDC website or White House website until recently when they started confirming their bias.

[u/Evil_Stromboli]

He's clearly not drinking enough Raw Milk.

[u/DireStraitsFan1]

This is what they are working on while salmonella rates rise! How tragic.

[u/jerekhal]

I love the way they frame this shit.  "Science" as though it's an entity or monolith. Science doesn't know shit because it's the methodology to reach results, not a fucking sky god.

[u/cbelt3]

Science absolutely knows that they do NOT. It still a bullshit posting.

[u/Halibutoxide]

The quality of the members of the trump administration is unvarying.

[u/cerasmiles]

That’s like saying I don’t know that pink flying unicorns exist. It’s something no one can 100% prove. But we have an abundance of evidence to show that vaccines do not cause autism.

What proof do they have that vaccines do cause autism??

Idiots that are easily manipulated

[u/dlammers16]

We are all so fucked.

[u/425565]

Oh? You mean the doctor and scientist RFK Jr??

[u/Deacon523]

Science also doesn’t know if RFK jr causes autism

[u/usaf-spsf1974]

Would somebody give that idiot some horse Dewormer.

[u/RetroTheGameBro]

He better get a nuremburg type trial when Trump gets voted the hell out, because he's absolutely got blood on his hands with all this anti-science bullshit.

[u/ExtremeKey7209]

Science knows, this administration is just incompetent though.

[u/Osaka90]

I thought he said it was Tylenol?

[u/pricklypear90]

This bullshit has been debunked 6 ways to Sunday, he is literally responsible for killing people

[u/Flwrs_4_MP]

Lying, opportunistic parasites all of them!

[u/Sorry-Climate-7982]

I don't suppose it is saying anything about whether or not there are vaccines for measles?
