Back to the 19th century ....

A key legal adviser to Robert Kennedy Jr, Donald Trump’s pick for health secretary, is at the center of efforts to push federal drug regulators to revoke approval for the polio and hepatitis B vaccines and block distribution of 13 other critical vaccines.

Aaron Siri, a lawyer who has been helping Kennedy select top health administrators as part of the Trump transition process, is deeply embedded in longstanding efforts to force the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to withdraw a raft of vaccines that have saved the lives and health of millions of Americans.

From what I have heard, a large part of the problem is that vaccines are not properly tested for either safety or efficacy. I have never looked into it but if the COVID vax is any indication.....

@hippyjoe1955 actually that's not true as a general statement... I'm not aware of any vaccine that's never been tested and down to be effective...i suggest you aquatint yourself with photos of smallpox victims and wards full of children with polio., things you just don't see today, luckily

@Convivial I am not about to take one side or the other. I simply note that the statement was made by someone more in the know than I.

@hippyjoe1955 I've heard that an alien reptile inhabits the Pentagon and runs NATO.

@Roundandroundwego And you obviously believe it. I don't. To each their own.

@hippyjoe1955 no, but I believe we say what helps. Saying we don't have trust in what we trust helps Washington, for sure.

@Roundandroundwego If you don't trust Washington?????
