He spoke out against that particular one. This talk of 'just the Covid vaccine' is not accurate. No, it's not all vaccines, but most have not been studied as much as they should, and many are unnecessary and overused.

Childhood vaccines especially, since the schedule has become so bloated. Even if the MMR vaccine was fine in a vacuum, it still needs more study as part of the vaccine schedule.

This is an about-face from Kennedy.

No, it's not all vaccines, but most have not been studied as much as they should

As far as I can tell, it's more like none of them have been studied at all. They've all been, at best, compared to "placebos" that also haven't been studied and aren't actually placebo.

And that's according to what Kennedy has said.

Yeah, pretty much sums it up.

Find any quote of RFKj where he said MMR vaccine didn't work. Or that it isn't the "most effective way to prevent the spread of measles", which it is.

I've heard him say vaccines aren't tested, have side effects, and we're giving too many to kids. Not that they don't work.

Measles has like R0 of 15. You're not going to stop its spread unless everybody lives in a level 3 containment facility or 95%+ get vaccinated.

What's the tradeoff?

You're ignoring half of the equation.

In other words, RFKj is in fact being entirely consistent with everything he's said previously.

But you're upset at him for some reason.

I never said I was upset with him, and you're moving the goalposts.

You can find plenty where he says measles is exaggerated, and the risks of the vaccine likely outweigh the upsides.

Seems odd to endorse it now.

Ok where is that? I've never heard him say the risks likely outweigh the upsides.
