RFKJr, Shitbird from Hell, is rechartering the ACIP so he and his clueless minions can eliminate vaccines in the US. They will kill many of us, especially kids, to bring America to its knees before the great orangutan. Since AI will put so many out of work RFKJr must cull the population.

RFKJr is halting testing and reporting of many infectious diseases. He can hide the numbers but that won’t stop the diseases. Come on, Bobby, admit that your anti-vaccine campaign is making more and more people, especially Little kids, very sick.
