RFK Jr. is a dangerous crank, using his name to frighten parents into keeping their kids from getting vaccinated. Even Slate says so.
It doesn’t. It just doesn’t. Everymajor scientific and medicalorganization in the country has evaluated the evidence and concluded that the preservative thimerosal is safe. The question is settled scientifically. Thimerosal, out of an abundance of caution, was removed from childhood vaccines 13 years ago, although it is used in some flu vaccines. And yet Kennedy, perhaps more than any other anti-vaccine zealot, has confused parents into worrying that vaccines, which have saved more lives than almost any other public health practice in history, could harm their children.
He's also a crank for his extreme AGW hysteria but most bien pensants are climate catastrophe addled so he's just standard garden variety nuts there.
