#3 Your post reminds me of this line from the Blake Edwards' movie, S.O.B. :

Dr. Irving Finegarten: "I could sue you for calling me that, Polly! A shyster is a disreputable lawyer. I'm a QUACK!"

Quelle surprise.

Was anyone every expecting a different outcome than this when Pres Trump selected such an incompetent HHS Secretary?

So RFK lied to Congress in order to get the job.

Knowingly making false statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of a federal government branch, including Congress, is a felony crime under 18 U.S.C. 1001, punishable by fines or up to five years in prison. Lying under oath during congressional testimony is also the separate crime of perjury 18 U.S.C. 1621, which carries similar penalties.

Alito needs to be Arrested. Kavanaugh too.

Both lied under oath at their Confirmation hearings.

John Roberts?

Amy Coney Barrett?

Whole Lot of Lyin' Goin' On.

Straight from the CDC website

"Pursuant to the Data Quality Act (DQA), which requires federal agencies to ensure the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information they disseminate to the public, this webpage has been updated because the statement "Vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim. Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy?

The CDC, by their own admission, lied by making a claim about vaccines for children that wasn't evidence based. Cry harder.

Which vaccines caused your autism?

Congratulations, LftHndThrds.

You finally learned to love Big Brother.

Self-made man trusts big government he swears he doesn't need, the government that has never done anything the private sector couldn't do for less.

Give yourself a big pat on the back for understanding how RKF is from the government and he's here to help you.

I like it when health organizations are exposed for lying and forced to retract their statements that aren't evidence based.

Trust the $cience just got backhanded.

Without lying, show us the evidence that disputes the claim "Vaccines do not cause autism."
You can't, because there isn't any.
Which means you're lying.

"Trust the $cience"

Apparently you don't think there's any money in lying about the science, which only speaks to your willful ignorance, as you spent your career in the fossil fuel industry, which has been lying about global warming and microplastics as long as you've been alive.
