If the Hepatitis B vaccine trial RFK Jr. has funded in Guinea-Bissau were ethical, he’d be doing it in the U.S. Instead, he’s preying on infants in one of the poorest countries in the world, which also happens to have a high prevalence of Hep B. Infants will suffer b/c RFK Jr. is anti-vax.

RFK Jr. thinks that getting measles is no big deal, and points to the low death rate to support this asinine opinion. Besides the fact that these deaths are preventable, he ignores hospitalizations and immune amnesia, which can erase immunity to other pathogens that people have already built up.

​🏹 Interesting fact:​Robin Hood Daffy (1958) — This Looney Tunes short is famous for the recurring gag of Daffy Duck failing to slide down a rope, repeatedly crashing into trees instead. Chuck Jones used this film to solidify the “greedy and delusional” version of Daffy, contrasting him with Porky Pig’s calm Friar Tuck, which remains one of the most celebrated pairings in animation history.
