   Anyone familiar with longstanding antivax tropes will recognize all this immediately. “Package inserts”, in antivax land, supposedly reveal all of the terrible side effects and evil ingredients. Doctors are keeping this from you because they are BOUGHT!!! Except all this info is available online, you can ask the doctor for it, and every medication on the market has disclosures like this. A possible side effect is not a frequent side or even a bad side effect. Just pure paranoid innumeracy.

     As RFK Jr prepares to “”address the nation”” today, I hope media who cover the pseudoevent note that he put out a 10 min video on Instagram yesterday articulating the long-standing anti-vax talking points that he downplayed for broader appeal: stuff about the “package inserts”, “no safe vaccines”, “the schedule”, & the “right to choose” whether to vaccinate your kids against polio. This is what his run has always been about. He is gunning for a Trump CDC or HHS appointee role to “fix” vaccines.

     Tim Chambers repeated this.
