I know people will say that the media re-represents some of these people, but you can judge them by what they actually say. RFK seems to be one of many who has gone down the conspiracy rabbit hole and got lost. We will see them reducing actual science as it tends to prove them wrong. People are going to die because of this mob (word used deliberately).
Folks that do not have the scientific acumen to read the papers RFK cites and simply believe what they are told believe in getting lost in rabbit holes. Actually reading peer reviewed and published papers shows that these are actual crimes committed by criminals intending to profit thereby. I challenge you to produce evidence that any statement RFK has made doesn't rest on sound science.
Not my job to do so, but I don't believe every other scientist is really just out for profit when we know who really makes the money. Do we really want to go back to rampant polio and other diseases? I've had my shots with no ill effects.
If you actually read the published research into the prevalence and lethality of the various childhood diseases it is ridiculous to claim anything but improved health care caused them to become relatively benign. After the 19th Century advances in medical care, including things like doctors washing their hands between examining patients, the autoclave that sterilized surgical instruments, the use of antibiotics like carbolic acid spray to sterilize hospital surfaces, better nutrition, and much, much more, all occurred prior to the introduction of vaccines and largely eliminated all deaths from them. One of those diseases, Scarlet Fever, has never had a vaccine developed for it, but it has been similarly eradicated at the same time the other diseases were - again decades before the introduction of vaccines for them.
The Polio epidemic is likely misattribution of DDT toxicity, which was being sprayed right on people in the decades prior to the disease becoming epidemic. Doctors at the time had few of the toxicology test that we have today, and made their diagnoses based on symptoms. One paralysis is the same as another.
But you'd have to read the published research to know that, because the pharmaceutical companies and their paid minions, well paid, I will add, only tell us what will make them more money. They're for profit corporations, with a legal obligation to provide the best return possible to their stockholders, after all. Funders largely control what research is published, in the same way and for the same reasons that employers decide what work gets done. Science isn't free, and scientists chase the money, just as all other contractual enterprises do.
