Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines and pledged to replace them with his own picks.

The 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had been in a state of flux since Kennedy took over. Its first meeting this year had been delayed when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly postponed its February meeting.

To be fair, or something, i dont really care what the general public thinks about vaccines. The general public is really really dumb, generally speaking, and won't really be able to judge any of this.

Vaccines should be mandatory for everyone, period. Obly allowed exception should be for proven medical reasons. Religion doesn't matter, you get vaccinated, period.

I do care. I would like them to be less dumb. I have to live in a world with these people, and you cant just treat them like objects without big sacrifices, socially psychologically and logistically.

For sure, but the idiots are here now. Start teaching the next generation correctly, lick up the idiots today. If you spout dangerous anti vax crap, you go to jail, I don't care. Your rights end when you endanger my life.

Not a big fan of jail. Not a big fan if making people disposable-which i recognize anti vax does.

Idk; gulag/transportation?

I so want to assume the /s there, I so want to... I hate that we love in a world where you can say dumb crap like that and i can actually not presume that you're joking

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Assume correctly.

No, does that too, just takes a couple days.

Monkey paw. Nazi government redefines cyanide as a vaccine.

What are you talking about? Are you high?

Making simplistic rules that are compulsory for everyone always causes problems in some way or other.

I thought monkeypaw wishes were a fun way to point this out.
