Who exactly is he referring to as not speaking truthfully during the pandemic?

They.

 

[Stunned]

They.

Anyone but the President at the time.

Who exactly is he referring to as not speaking truthfully during the pandemic?

He needs to provide some evidence to back that up.

His interview with Scripps was really...something else. If you haven't heard or read it:

RFK Jr. in interview with Scripps News: ‘Trusting the experts is not science’

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. sat down with Scripps News for a wide-ranging interview, discussing mRNA vaccine funding policy changes and a recent shooting at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. Out of an abundance of caution, I will not be attending our scheduled events this weekend. I will continue to work remotely to serve the people of Maryland.

Got my COVID jab today. Every time, the shot has whooped my rear end, and this time is looking to be no exception. The aches and shivers are settling in.

Worth it.

The fall Covid one that I decided to do the flu vaccine at the same time kicked me good for 2 days, learning one at a time is better

That actually may be the problem. I've gotten the double jab. Last year, I got one in each arm, which turned out to be a bad idea because as I tried to sleep through it, I couldn't find a side to lay on without an arm in fiery pain.

This year I opted to have both in the same arm lol

I had a decently serious reaction (sore arm, light fever/lightheadedness, muscle aches for 1-2 days) to the first several COVID vaxxes, which were all Moderna. At some point I opted for Pfizer and discovered I had only a very mild sore arm and none of the other reactions. So have only gotten Pfizer from then on and continued to have only the mildest reactions.

Interesting how we are all so different. I had the Pfizer, and was SO sick. My Mom did too, and she was sick. After that, both of us were "Team Moderna" only. Nothing from Moderna, except a red lump on my arm.

Yes, super interesting! I wonder how we would each react to Novavax. I might try it if it's ever on offer.

Is the newest COVID-19 vaccine out?

Is the newest COVID-19 vaccine out?

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe in the fall.?

I've only ever had the Pfizer shot and it's made me sick every time. At this point though, I think I'd be worried if I switched to Moderna and didn't feel sick for a few days lol. So far, I'm still COVID free, so I'd probably think a different jab wasn't working if I didn't have a reaction.

Is the newest COVID-19 vaccine out?

It's always been in the fall targeting September.

Anti-vaccine myths surged on social media ahead of the CDC shooting

Before the shooting, social media companies relaxed their protocols around misinformation.

www.nbcnews.com

In the weeks and months before the Aug. 8 shooting at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta, posts tying Covid vaccines to mental illness accrued millions of views online.

Previously more tightly moderated, some of the world’s largest social media platforms now operate with far fewer guardrails, allowing vaccine misinformation to flourish.

On X, for example, verified accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers openly claimed in recent weeks that Covid vaccines act like “chemical lobotomies,” which is false.

On Facebook, health influencers with broad reach alleged that Covid vaccines cause severe brain damage or other severe side effects such as cancer, despite no scientific basis for those claims.

And on TikTok, videos repeating the debunked claim that vaccines cause autism drew hundreds of thousands of views this year, spreading doubt to wide audiences...

My uncle just died of Covid. It's so sad. He had two forms of cancer that were being managed well and responding to treatment over the last several years. But the Covid was too much for him to overcome. Any time someone tells me it's 'just a cold', I will tell them about this. His prognosis had been quite good before the Covid infection. A lovely man.

Bad diets, too many meds, no exercise: A look inside the latest 'Make America Healthy Again' report

A report promised by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to improve children's health does not call for major changes to food or farming policies

www.detroitnews.com

Washington — A report that U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promised will improve the health of America’s children does not call on the government to make significant changes to its food or farming policies, according to a draft document obtained by The Associated Press.

The “Make America Healthy Again” strategy report is supposed to be one of Kennedy’s signature achievements as the nation’s health secretary, giving the government a roadmap to help its citizens lose weight, reduce chronic diseases and exercise more. Before coming to Washington, Kennedy had spent much of his career decrying the harms of chemicals sprayed on crops, prescription drugs, ultraprocessed foods, and vaccines...

(The Center Square) – U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday the reinstatement of the Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, the day before he had to respond to a lawsuit over his alleged failure to stand up the task force.

Health and Human Services said Congress created the federal panel to improve the safety, quality and oversight of vaccines administered to American children.

"By reinstating this Task Force, we are reaffirming our commitment to rigorous science, continuous improvement, and the trust of American families," National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya said...

HHS revives task force on childhood vaccine safety

A lawsuit claims Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. violated a 1986 law by failing to set up a task force to make childhood vaccines safer.

A long-dormant federal task force on childhood vaccine safety is being revived, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday.

HHS said in a statement that it is reinstating the Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, which the agency said disbanded in 1998, “to improve the safety, quality, and oversight of vaccines administered to American children.”...

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Though he probably doesn't know where he contracted Covid from, I sincerely hope it wasn't from one of his medical appointments. It frustrates me how many clinics and hospitals (much less doctor's offices) dropped masking as soon as they could.
