CNN dislikes him, so they show short clips of him saying things that fit their narrative. I’ve watched many of his videos. He’s a common-sense skeptic, not a vaccine denier.
His opinions on vaccines - using his own words - demonstrate he is anti-vaccine. It's not just CNN; we could easily copy/paste many statements he's made undermining confidence in a large number of vaccines. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/11/scicheck-rfk-jr-incorrectl...
I've read his full interviews and I think my understanding of his thinking is pretty accurate.
No, my knowledge is not "driven by" factcheck- it's a reference site that I use as a facts aggregator to support my understanding. My knowledge is driven by my biomedical education and a constant desire to read nearly everything about medical policy at the federal level, from multiple independent sources.
I wish I could peer into your brain and somehow understand why you're so entrenched in this position. The man you are defending has repeatedly said things that prove you wrong, much less everything else.
Some of these replies are from folks who want to stir unrest and don't actually believe what they're saying.
Other folks read selectively; they skim over or ignore the statements they don't agree with.
Yet other folks are ideologically motivated and use rhetoric to convince others.
The best we can do is to counter with well-documented facts, like direct quotes, with full context, and actions taken. In this case, I believe the person we're arguing with is selectively ignoring statements that RFK has made (repeatedly).
Vaccines are powerful tools and they are not without their problems. But RFK has weaponized mistruth in pursuit of his goals.
> Vaccines are powerful tools and they are not without their problems.
That’s exactly the main point of RFK. Have you actually listened to any of his speeches from start to finish without the mainstream media’s intervention?
Where did I defend RFK? I said he’s skeptical of the healthcare industry. He has never been an anti-vaccine activist. Rather, he was an anti-COVID vaccine activist.
Anyone that takes the time to read his direct quotes and listen to his full interviews realizes he's a massive fucking idiot that should be nowhere near governance of any country, agency or otherwise. Like his remarks on autism for example being a big indicator that he knows jack and shit.
