      Measles was one item. The other was the highly politicized and performative congressional hearing over Fauci’s diary where they are foaming at the mouth about all his “lies”. One such “lie” was his questioning the usefulness of masks in like Dec 2019. They address that as if that was his unwavering position to this day.

      They remembered that Faucci exists and that the country was overtaken by the tyranny of us wearing 4 inch pieces of paper on our faces so we don’t kill sick people.

      RFK blames Faucci for the measles outbreak and is calling people bad parents for not vaccinating their kids against measles.

      When called out about his anti-vaccine rhetoric he’s been spouting the last few years, he’s crashing out and being defensive about how people are twisting his words / that’s not what he said / etc.

        how people are twisting his words / that’s not what he said / etc.

        Someone should send him footage of exactly what he said, or links to X posts or w/e form he said it in.

        Wakefield, father of the anti-vax movement, actually did have his words twisted though - it was never “vaccines are bad”, it was specifically the combined MMR being administered to young children that he opposed (claiming they should instead be spread out), in no small part because he owned separate vaccines for each.
