   RFK simply made up this factoid. He simply made it up. It is make believe.

   (What Jamelle Bouie said also was stupid. To quote it added nothing to the article, either.)

     The question to ask yourself is: do you want to leave that to Nature, or do you want to vaccinate your child?

     For RFK Jr. is ignoring the plain truth apparent in the wild world—that, left to Nature, children get killed off quite freely. Immune systems and other defenses serve ONLY to ensure that a fraction survive to form a next generation.

     But our doctors also ignore this. Instead they go: "SCIENCE! PROVEN SAFE! DO WHAT WE SAY OR WE WILL MOCK YOU FOR YOUR IGNORANCE!"

     So I blame them.

     I still have to blame scientists and doctors, though, because what are they saying? "RFK Jr is an ignorant fool. We are scientists and we say vaccines are safe and effective!"

     IOW: "OBEY US! WE ARE AUTHORITIES!"

     And what do we get? Rebellion, of course. And an ignorant population, whom these unthoughtful authorities just MOCK!

     What they SHOULD be telling us is the damn truth—

     IT IS THE NATURAL FUNCTION OF MEASLES TO KILL CHILDREN. When many children die of measles, that is Nature at work.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.
