It's also not clear whether RFK believes Americans should be taking the booster and why he seems to think low booster uptake means it is (only) the CDC Americans don't trust.
💯. No way am I suggesting by my support that everything goes. In fact, more vigilance required. These inaccuracies and contradictions indicate that an about-face from this "trusted" source could very well be awaiting us, once confirmed. Calling them out absolutely required, so we are not caught flat-footed again, over and over.
Disconcerting that he says this, for sure. Unfortunately, we are at a point where we have to support the best of a very bad lot, and he is quite a bit better than the bad lot. For now.
But by doing so I am not checking my brain at the door or agreeing to endorse all - or even any - of what he says and thinks.
The 90% uptake stat is false if he is referring to all American adults. Not sure whence the figure comes but there is simply no way it reflects reality.
RFK Jr is as imperfect as the rest of us. However, testifying in the Senate is like walking in a mine field - you have to be mindful of everything you say or it might just explode :-)
Being a Kennedy and considering his record, we are looking at someone with TONS of practice as a public speaker and lifelong exposure to the frontline & aristocracy of American politics.
This is no novice and he was not "winging it," I assure you.
Where is the staffer that gave him the 90% covid shot uptake data point? Better yet, where is the data?
There is no trust left to restore. Agree 💯, public health agencies need to be disbanded, as much as is possible.
Correct

For sure. And I said I support his nomination.
