I know he's suspicious of vaccines generally, and considers them a likely culprit for the chronic disease epidemic, but I never think this characterization is fair. His general position seems to be:
- subject vaccines to the same standards as other drugs
- remove blanket immunity from vaccines
It's more like not-pro-vaccine than anti-vaccine to me.

It's more like not a mindless cultist...
Your characterization is pretty accurate to what I've heard from him, but it should also be noted that he does believe in the efficacy of the original vaccines and in the technology in general.
I'd characterize his position as something like "It's pretty clear that most vaccines on the market work for their intended purposes, but we should find out if there are any serious health complications from taking so many during early childhood."

HHS has the biggest budget of any federal agency. Bigger than defense.

True, but it's mostly just transfer payments for Medicare and Medicaid. There's not as much staff to cut as you might imagine.

Because “vaccines cause autism” or “don’t vaccinate and save children” is exactly what antivaxers don’t say, or do they? I am confused.

You sent me the well produced rant of a pro-left-establishment political comedian. I've listened to hours of RFK on podcasts.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I think I understand his position on vaccines better than someone who only watched that episode or other content filtered and deprived of full context.

A person can also not be 100% correct and yet asking good questions that no one is supposed to ask.

He has explained his position many times as not anti-vax. For a culture that prides itself on self actualition what they do to RFK is pretty inconsistent.

There's plenty to enjoy with this one without gloating.
If we end up getting Alex Jones as WH Press Secretary, then I'll brag about having joked about that being the funniest outcome.

As you read MSN posts over the coming weeks, remember:
"Vaccine-denier" = "pointed out that childhood vaccines were exempt from placebo safety trials"

Great to see America is doing everything to obsolete itself. At least working for a goal, unlike the rest of the world. Obligatory "I'm not sure if it's good or bad but we'll find out".
