Bloomberg: RFK Would “Devastate” Public Health

November 12, 2024 Covidiots, Crackpots

Michael Bloomberg writes for Bloomberg News:

Trump should remember that Kennedy spread lies about the Covid vaccine, falsely calling it the “deadliest vaccine ever made.” In any position of influence, Kennedy would jeopardize decades of hard-won advances in public health and put American lives needlessly at risk.

Thanks to vaccines, afflictions such as polio are now rare. Smallpox has been eradicated. Kennedy would put all that progress at risk. Want to see a return of measles, mumps and rubella in schools across the country? Appoint Kennedy. Want to see more people die from Covid? Appoint Kennedy. Want to see spikes in diphtheria? Appoint Kennedy.

That most Americans can’t say what diseases like diphtheria and rubella do is a testament to the success of vaccines. Loss of public support for them — and for future vaccine developments — would have devastating consequences.
