The rapid development of effective COVID vaccines in less than a year during the pandemic was a groundbreaking achievement in the long history of vaccination. It seemed like we were finally entering an era where we could protect ourselves against infectious diseases.
But hold on a second! Just when we thought we were making progress, President-elect Donald Trump decides to nominate an antivaccine activist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as the top health official in the nation. What could possibly go wrong, right?
Now, we have infectious disease and public health experts warning us that we might be heading towards deadly epidemics of measles, whooping cough, meningitis, and even polio. All thanks to Kennedy and former House member Dave Weldon potentially leading the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
These two geniuses, Kennedy and Weldon, have decided to endorse debunked theories linking vaccines to autism and other chronic diseases. Because who needs reputable scientific studies when you have these guys spreading misinformation, right? And let’s not forget Weldon’s star appearances in antivaccine films after leaving Congress. Bravo, gentlemen, bravo.
The president-elect also appeared open to the groundbreaking polio vaccine being “looked at.”
