Good questions: “Why have you chosen to allow your ‘Make America Healthy Again’ commission to investigate childhood vaccinations as a potential cause of chronic disease, given the lack of evidence for any link between vaccines and chronic disease?”

I read "medically sound" and thought they have the wrong person there.

Ta, Robyn. I ate nutritious food as a child (not as nutritious as the food I eat now, of course), and still got measles, Reye's syndrome, chicken pox, mumps, and rubella. Jr. BrainWorm is full of shit.

>Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses. Vitamins A, C, and D, and foods rich in vitamins B12, C, and E should be part of a balanced diet.”

This is a lie pushed by Big Food. Big Food wants you to think that food can cure diseases, yet over 90% of people who have eaten food have died. Wake up sheeple!

It's also useful to write the questions down, as Sen. Warren did. This requires the Dim Son to respond in writing, instead of just running out the clock during oral testimony.

You know, if we'd've gotten a President Warren I would not have been sad about it. Not one bit.

The USA is in the grip of a delusional cult (which is why I'm leaving) - the delusional cult will never blame the cult leaders or themselves.

They'll blame the democrats. And succeed. Because the democrats are in fact pusillanimous cowards and they are to blame. Sure Republicans are bad people and they should get their share of blame, but democrats who claimed that Trump was going to destroy America and then immediately jumped into "We can work with him" mode after the election are to blame as well.

The stank on the USA is pretty strong. It ain't going away until the country has been completely destroyed and split up or otherwise reconfigured. Ala the Soviet Union breakup but American style.

Best of luck to those of you stuck here.

Burrowed down a measles rabbit hole the other day and learned the MMR used a “killed virus” from 1963-1967, when I would have gotten it. They later determined it didn’t work. My parents are both still alive, but don’t recall if I had another vaccine after they changed to one that, you know, “works.” In a sane world I wouldn’t worry I might be vulnerable to measles, but I am seriously wondering whether I should get re-vaccinated.

You can get a blood test to see if you have antibodies. Do not come to me for medical advice but I've read about no downsides of skipping straight to getting a shot.

I had to get re-vaccinated.

I don’t get the metaphor about planes, but take your point about MMR. Dumb mistake on my part because I had mumps and possibly rubella.

“Especially since Kennedy also stated that “Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses.” - Uh, those of us born genetically predispositioned to chronic illnesses would like a word. Asshat.

That throat thing he has which makes listening to him marginally less miserable than listening to Vogon poetry runs in families so you’d think he’d know that.

Fifty-seven years later, I still mourn for the future America that might have been had RFK Sr. lived.

But if he had to die, why couldn't it have been before this sad and dangerous mess named Junior was conceived?

“Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses. Vitamins A, C, and D, and foods rich in vitamins B12, C, and E should be part of a balanced diet.”

Notice how the way this sentence is phrased implies victim blaming and shaming.

Getting a vaccine is a "personal" decision for adults. Kids have no choice: if their parents are wacky, the kids will pay a price.

Oh good, a letter. This will surely reverse the current trend of [gestures at everything]. I'd love to see ol' Bobby wiggle out of this one.
