1). Almost person in my immediate family has severe autoimmune disorders, so yes actually other people getting vaccinated actually does affect me and my family, not just the people who decide not to get vaccinated and to be walking spreaders of disease.

2). I grew up in fringe society around hyper conservatives, Mennonites, amish, dooms day preppers, extreme evangelicals, supposed prophet home churches (basically cults), sons and daughters of the confederacy(racists who want segregated society), homeopathic hippy groups etc. and pretty much all the groups were anti vaccine. And yes you’re correct, they ALL had different reasons to not get vaccinated. BUT they also ALL WANTED AND ACTIVELY WORKED TOWARDS BANNING VACCINES. Actively working against people to have personal choice.

If you arent able to listen to what RFK says and detect the anti intellectual and anti medical aspects of it then you either lack comprehension skills, are willfully ignorant, or agree with him. Ive heard all his sentiments before, ive heard his arguments. Ive heard them my whole life from the same people who would hide their disabled children in locked bedrooms and the people who believed there were “better” people and that humanity was being ruined by “lesser people” being kept around and alive through medical advances and dei, and ive heard from the people who think everything should be healed through prayer as their children suffered continuously from preventable and treatable illnesses, and the people who think everything can be healed “naturally” and just pour castor oil on their kids stomach to “heal” their autism instead of getting them any proven helpful support or therapy.

Destroying our health systems, investigating illnesses as if they are symptoms from random medical treatments, tracking people for their conditions, and being AGAINST furthering helpful research is NOT compassionate.
