Yeah because nobody fricking gets measles. Because we vaccinate.

And measles isn't the only thing we vaccinate against.

I missed the part where they said he was "lying".

Why is Trump even talking to this leftist psychotic Kennedy clown?

Trump talks to everyone, and they dont need to use the word lying to say that he is lying, it was implied on purpose.

I know right, since most of the people who contract measles nowadays are vaccinated.

I guess we'll never know. Both Trump and the Kennedys aren't exactly scrupulous people. RFK Jr. is a mess.

Trump is also an anti-vaccer, as his Tweeting history shows, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. He's also a liberal, as his life history and political donations show, so he and Kennedy should do well together.

Trump's one of those stupid anti-vaxxers that thinks there's a link between vaccines and autism, a belief that has been debunked so many times now.

This is not going to help anything, other than fuel anti-vaxxer nonsense.

I happen to know physicians who believe too many vaccines are given too early.

I think Trump must have been spending too much time with Jenny McCarthy in 2014. Many such cases!

He also likes playing with people's heads.. and I think he will 'flow in the wind' depending on reactions.

Have they conducted peer review studies to prove what they "believe"?

I hate who I've become. Just so posters know. But I've never in my life seen so many lies, so much disrespect for a POTUS. Those of you who are quick to point out Obama? That wasn't me. And I honestly don't remember Obama's election bringing on media lies, Hollywood videos, Streepies, etc., etc. and, at least in those three examples, that would be correct. ALL BECAUSE THE DEMS FIELDED AN ASSHOLE FOR POTUS.

We've gone crazy, folks. Stark raving mad. Fake news. Fake Tweets. Fake newspaper articles. Fake everything. God help us.

Which part of all of this is defending putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of a commission that will set vaccine policy?

Re: Vaccine skeptic Robert Kennedy Jr. says Trump asked him to lead commission on ‘va

If you are still a vaccine skeptic at this point, you haven't been paying attention to the research and controversy or you are more accurately called a denier. There is no other position. It's probably the clearest risk to benefit ratio in medicine. - From a Pharmacist

And further, if there IS a problem with the massive amount of vaccinations forced on kids these days--and there are a number of medical professionals including doctors that I know who are worried about it--who better to spearhead a research group to study it than somebody who is skeptical of vaccines? People who are already in favor of all those vaccines aren't likely to do much to find a reason not to believe, but they would be able to challenge any results disfavoring the vaccines. Meanwhile a true skeptic would look at any contra indications along with studies done by the believers. But all the data will receive honest consideration and we would all be better informed of the truth whatever that is.

It's sort of like putting only scientists who are believers or who receive funding to promote AGW in charge of all the research to research anthropomorphic global warming. I would rather have a true skeptic heading the study group because then we could be sure all the data will receive honest consideration.

In 1980, one out of every 2000 kids was diagnosed with autism. Now it is like one out of every 150. Something is causing that and I for one very much want to find out what it is.
