Commentary: When I got COVID, readers said it proved vaccines don't work. What has RFK Jr. wrought?
"I can't say I was surprised, but it didn't take long for readers to jump at the bait last week when I wrote that for the first time, I had tested positive for COVID-19 despite having been regularly vaccinated throughout the pandemic. "Vaccines are poison," wrote one reader, who said I'd fallen for a hoax. "Wake up!" Actually, as I said last week, I wasn't sure I was awake."
""It warns us of the ineffectiveness of the vaccine and Lopez's misleading propaganda." Look, I get it. It's hard to snuff out misinformation when the nation's health services administration specializes in it. Kennedy's Ministry of Hacks and Quacks has claimed there is "no clinical data" supporting COVID vaccines and said anyone can get them, despite an outcry that the new restrictions are making them unavailable, more expensive or difficult to get."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., lacking medical credentials, removed experts, dismantled departmental structures, and undermined morale at Health and Human Services. He disrupted and derailed millions of dollars in vaccine research and publicly clashed with senators. His team has claimed there is "no clinical data" supporting COVID vaccines while imposing restrictions that critics say make vaccines less available and more expensive. Several vaccinated individuals experienced breakthrough infections, fueling public skepticism and accusations about vaccine effectiveness. These actions and messaging damaged departmental morale and risk ceding the U.S. role as world leader in science.
