    It’s a good time to note that this is the vaccine the autism bullshit stems from. If he was genuine in his views, this is the one vaccine it would make sense for him to oppose.

      The bullshit stemmed from an investor of competing vaccines to the combined MMR. They were selling separate vaccines which were less popular so they wanted to take down the combined MMR to make money.

      It’s all been collateral damage of unrepentant greed.

        He’s been spreading lies about vaccines for years, pushing anti-vax propaganda. Now that some poor child of an anti-vaxxer family has died, he’s suddenly pro-vax for just this one thing?

        No fuck him. He’s an asshole.

          That’s exactly how not to encourage people to be better.
          Wouldn’t you like for him to be better? Or are you just more comfortable in a black and white world of, once bad always bad?

            I’m not the guy you’re replying to, but a broken clock being right twice a day doesn’t miraculously fix it. It’s still broken. Dude’s still an asshole, even if in this one moment he’s being ‘right’. He has already begun to dismantle the department he was appointed to as the head of. You’ll see next year, if we even get health and flu related death numbers anymore, what the impacts of his decisions, up to TODAY even, have brought.
