Thought of you and this discussion when I saw this.
I appreciate it.
The problem with what this guy is saying is that he’s also wrong.
Kennedy literally said that there are no vaccines that are safe and effective; that’s just untrue as there obviously are.
Common kooky anti-vax claims:
1) “well I just want to see the data”. I mean, all vaccines in the USA are approved by the FDA , the world’s leading drug regulatory agency which is significantly more strict than anywhere else. The data is public for anyone who cares to look. One cannot honestly claim that there’s “no data” when it’s published online by law.
2) “I see the data but there’s not enough to claim safe use” again, just not true. Our vaccines are among the most widely used drugs in the USA so for people to claim the Covid vaccine is not safe or there is not enough data is absurd. It’s been used billions of times. We know it’s safe, we know it’s effective. Trump himself was touring it during his presidency.
There is no
debate to have. Vaccines are safe, vaccines work. Anything else is just people who are either uneducated or not interested in living in reality.
But it’s a free country, if people want to learn about healthcare from a trial attorney versus their own doctor, they can. If you think weirdos on Twitter have more information than your doctor or your local hospital, you’re wrong but you’re allowed to feel that way.
