Yesterday, I woke up to see an amazing op-ed in which longtime antivaxxer and now HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a call to action that included the MMR vaccine. Has he gone pro-vax? Not exactly, but it’s amusing to watch his fans howl.

I wish I didn’t have to write this post, but the press won’t stop referring to RFK Jr. as a “vaccine skeptic.” He is not. He is antivax.
Yesterday, antivaxxer turned independent Presidential candidate RFK Jr, suspended his campaign and backed Donald Trump, to the surprise of no one. Almost certainly, there was a quid pro quo.
The New Yorker published a story reporting that RFK Jr. picked up a bear cub killed by a car and dumped it in Central Park as a joke. WTF? I knew that RFK Jr. and his antivax conspiracy theories were bizarre, but WTF?
A New York Times article reports that in his divorce proceedings a decade ago, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. argued that hais earning potential had decreased because he had had a brainworm. This explains an awful lot.
