Summary

Donald Trump plans to discuss potentially ending childhood vaccination programs with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee for Health and Human Services.

Trump expressed openness to revisiting vaccine policies, citing concerns about autism rates, despite scientific consensus debunking links between vaccines and autism.

Critics warn reducing vaccinations could lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.

Kennedy, known for questioning vaccine safety, would oversee the CDC if confirmed.

Public health experts remain concerned about the implications.

    Thinking in absolutes is a childish thing to begin with, it has nothing to do with maligning the people who resisted.

    Of course there will be varying accounts for those involved, but as a whole, Americans shoulder the responsibility of their country just the same as Germans shouldered theirs. I wouldnt hold it against someone who felt involved or responsible, and deciding at some point to rebel.

    But that doesnt mean they still weren’t part of something awful for some period of time. Just like Americans are part of something awful right now, and for quite a long time.

      I’m not the one “thinking in absolutes”. The user you’re defending literally said it doesn’t matter what American’s do - everyone will be considered the same.

      In the future we’re all going to look like the bad guys, whether we fought back or not.

      Actual quote from them. But I’m the one you’re calling a child. Buzz off.
