Don’t Be Fooled: RFK Jr. Is Still Talking Down Vaccines

1 week ago | thebulwark.com | Jonathan Cohn

THREE PEOPLE HAVE DIED in Texas and more than five hundred have gotten sick in what is shaping up as the largest single measles outbreak in decades. And somehow Robert F. Kennedy Jr. still hasn’t provided a firm, unambiguous endorsement of vaccination, although you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise in light of the publicity around an interview he had with CBS News last week.

And that includes items like board games, which are designed and sold here in America—but are, in almost every case, manufactured overseas.
