More importantly, look how no one is getting into trouble for endangering children.
Republicans only care about children that aren't born (i.e. aren't children) yet.
Republicans have never been 'pro-life', only pro-birth.
Pre-natal? They care so, so much!
Pre-school? You're fucked (metaphorically and, depending on the republican, possibly literally - just ask ol' Dennis)
Well, they're not fetuses so conservatives don't care.
Don't be fooled. Caring about fetuses has never been about the fetus, but about controlling women.

When the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says to do a thing for your child's health, how would you go about proving abuse? They're literally following government "guidelines".
If these idiots kill their children out of ignorance and stupidity, power to 'em. I lost all empathy for idiots during COVID. No one can ask me to give a shit any longer. And yes, fuck their kids too. This is Darwinism in action. Let it ride.

Definitely not the people of American Samoa.
Edit: It's interesting that RFK Jr is now only briefly mentioned in the body of that article, but several of the source links at the bottom explicitly reference him in their titles.
theres no confusion, his worms know what they are doing.
Oh, he's getting people killed. Again.

Health insurance companies shouldn't cover these people who refuse to vaccinate.

We need to make suing government employees that make decisions easier. Things like discrimination for anyone that makes determinations for program eligibility, etc.
And definitely cabinet positions when decisions clearly are in opposition to available research and lead directly to outcomes like this, where a direct correlation is not only obvious but even easily provable in court.
Blanket Immunity to cover for incompetent government employees is complete bullshit and doesn't serve the interests of the nation or it's citizens at all.
Yeah this is one of those suggestions that sounds great on the surface but will just completely break government. Every single decision will result in a lawsuit, and the only beneficiaries will be lawyers. The inability to sue the cabinet isnt the problem, it's the degenerates the American people vote in there.
There's is no electoral system system and no regulation that can save voters from themselves.
Why are these people ok with isolated vitamin supplements (which are not natural), but not ok with a vaccine? I don't understand the line they draw.
Because opinion is more important than fact, and choice is more important than logic.
They're contrarians and conspiracists. They will go with whatever the established authorities recommend against.

Because they are operating on propaganda, not logic.
"I don't know what's in the vaccine" is the dumbest excuse too. The information is available, and if you don't trust the information, why would trust the label that tells you those pills are vitamin A. They could put anything in that pill with Vitamin A.
RFK is so ridiculously stupid.
It's time to bring RFK to schools with measles outbreaks. Let him personally reassure people that the vaccine is a choice.
What, you're worried about catching measles? Why the fuck would you?

If parents and doctors aren't getting in trouble for killing their kids with quack drugs, why are they getting in trouble for giving real medication when their "child" is still in the womb?
Doctors aren't giving the kids the Vitamin A, doctors are sounding the alarm that children are coming in with Vitamin A poisoning.
Sounds like a quick call to CPS is in order, if they are still around and haven't been dumped by dumpy.
But the Alchemist in Chief guarantees it works! Did you use fresh newt or canned?

Any parent taking what RFK Jr says as fact is neglecting their child.
Can we just quarantine the entire state? Or just… I don’t know-
Push it out into the ocean?
