RFK Jr. Resignation Calls Grow as Two People Die From Measles Calls for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s resignation are growing after two unvaccinated people died from measles in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There have been 393 confirmed measles cases in 28 counties in Pennsylvania this year, and 2,777 total cases nationally—a 35-year high. These are the first measles deaths in the United States this year, and in Pennsylvania in more than three decades. “RFK Jr.’s lies and conspiracy theories are making Marylanders sick,” Democratic Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks wrote Tuesday on X. “RFK Jr. must resign or be fired. Vaccines are safe and effective. Listen to your pediatrician.” “Measles is officially out of control. How many more people need to die before there is a nationwide call for RFK Jr. to resign?” said Shaughnessy Naughton, president of the pro-science organizing group 3.14 Action. “His anti-science, anti-vaccine policies are killing people and infecting a generation of Americans with dangerous vaccine skepticism that will take years to recover from.” …

    What about all the assholes besides him that are there, though? I don’t think he was the only dumbfuck anti-enlightenment asshole put into power in these critical government positions.

    I’m not sure his resignation would help, clearly Trump is more antivaxx than he is and is breathing down his neck to prove vaccines cause autism. Trump would only replace him with someone more radical.

    Daily that the billionaire class wants most of us dead. They will not give you health care. They will destroy the CDC. They want pandemics to ravage the masses and reduce our numbers. They want our assets and our wealth and they want you dead. They don’t want things to be safe. They don’t want cars to be safe. They don’t want your drinking water to be safe. They wanted all to be as hazardous as possible so that the most number of people die. They are happy when bad things happen to you. And they really believe that they’re entitled to the planet. This is all working towards their goal.

    2? Rookie numbers. 2 don’t even register for these morons. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    Uhh it leaked earlier today that they’re trying to revamp the categories of vaccine so they can reduce the number of required vaccines for everyone including kids. Worst timeline. Could not have made me believe this was possible 15 years ago.

    He’ll never resign. That would imply that he’s capable of admitting to being wrong. And he’s too fucking crazy for that. He believes all the bullshit he says.

    This is what fascism has to offer you: death and increased prices due to pointless wars. Oh and pedophilia, LOTS of that apparently.
