That doesn't make RFK right, but it does mean that one should not swallow whole the idea that vaccines are safe as water. There are much better vaccines in the works-- tailored to each person's immune system -- but Big Pharma is not developing them because to do so would be costly.

Again, profits rule in medicine as in most areas of American life.

I personally do not buy the vaccine-autism connection, but I think kids now receive an alarming number of vaccinations, some of which I'm not sure are necessary. I'm old enough to have had many vaccine preventable diseases, as did everyone in my family and social circle. Not a single person died of these diseases, which does not mean the diseases are not deadly for a few people.

I think all vaccines should be free to anyone who wants them. The cost of vaccines is often what stops people from getting them. Nonprofit organizations, not Big Pharma, should develop vaccines to be distributed free of charge to everyone.

You mean universities?

Good luck with that! Most reaearchers have moved on and MAGA seems to be too stupid.

You fools keep muttering about Big Pharma

While allowing Trump to rip money from universities for medical research.

Where do you think the next cure that is not profitable is going to come from?

Don't tell.me, don't tell me
Ivermectin is good for it all

Doctor's visits $5
Polio - already cured
Measles - not a big deal, rarely longterm effects
Obesity - Near Non-existent
Cigarettes - everybody who smoked knew they were no good for you. Now replaced with vaping and pot smoking - also not good. People smoke less, that's great but nothing to do with healthcare advancement. We now eat chemical garbage and tell our kids it is the healthy part of the Food Pyramid.

In general a 66 year old male in 1963 was a whole lot more healthy than a 66-year old male in 2025 who likely suffers from obesity, diabetes, stents, high blood pressure, dementia or mental illness.

Life expectancy in 1963 for a man was 66 years. And how was it discovered that cigarettes caused lung cancer anyway? Oh my goodness! It was a scientific study using the scientific method.

Shot schedule
1963 - 3 shots before age 18
1983 - 11 shots before age 18
2023 - 58 shots before age 18

Health Outcomes since 1983
ADHD - exploded
Autism - super exploded!!
Autoimmune diseases - Super exploded

Since COVID19 - heart disease in young people, "Died Suddenly" and "Turbo-Cancer" - exploded.

Why is the left so in love and trusting of the BS Big Pharma industry.

Not even going to go into obesity and its root cause - processed (high carb) diets as opposed to healthy fats and protein that have sustained the human race for thousands of years.

I hope RFK can get everyone to wake-up and understand that Big Pharma and Big Food are killing us and are making each other lots of money.

What a great idea. Take your family back to 1963 health care. Measles, pertussis, polio, rubella. No anti Virals, no scans, cigarettes were good for you and men could expect to live to 66 whole years!

Right now Trump’s 2016 Surgeon General talking about the new anti vax vaccine panel.

Thanks anyway PBS and trump appointees but we will get our medical advice from out trusted physicians and pediatricians. No measles here!

Do tell… Which doctor is still allowed to think for themself? …Even if it’s outside the box?

Any bozo can parrot the party line.

Science isn’t a party line.

This is why we can’t take republicans seriously.

Cool cool ……. Now define “woman” for us.

Female sex = xx chromosome
Female gender = stereotypical female gendered social behavior

You do know your last definition is a circular argument, right?

I do not think any republican opinions should be allowed on PBS.

If they are not based on science they should be aired and exposed as unscientific. Republican or democrat or independent... Unscientific views should be exposed as unscientific.

I’m continually fascinated at how libs can’t seem to process that being against covid vaccine mandates doesn’t make one opposed to proven vaccines.

Y’all are sooooooo incredibly binary in your thinking. It’s really disappointing.

The news is about flu shots, not covid shots keep up.

You can enact your stupid policies fool, and moms can ignore them and take care of their families. Children will be vaccinated with or without Trump's idiotic policies.

Just take a look at abortion. Are all of our daughters being forced to give birth because of maga ignorant backward policies? Answer is no genius. Abortion rate has increased since roe was overturned.

Maybe some states will be backwards measles hell holes, but some areas will be much safer.

Good luck red states. Jfk jr super science ..haha.
