WTF is wrong with @serwer and @YahooFinance, giving voice to antivaccine crank @RobertKennedyJr, as though his antivaccine views have any scientific validity whatsoever? At one point the chyron even says "RFK Jr on his passion for vaccine safety advocacy."https://finance.yahoo.com/news/robert-kennedy-jr-on-climate-change-140205979.html …

RFK Jr. is so antivaccine that he wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Samoa during a measles outbreak that was killing dozens of children to try to convince him that it was the MMR vaccine that caused the outbreak. 7/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/12/05/samoa-measles-outbreak-malielegaoi/ …

Seriously,
@serwer, you were utterly unprepared and RFK Jr. made you look like a fool through his Gish gallop. (Google the term.) You also made it look as though there really is a scientific controversy about vaccine safety or whether vaccines cause autism when there is not. 8/Show this thread -
Do better,
@serwer. Do better,@YahooFinance. Don't give your platform to antivaccine misinformation! 9/9Show this thread

big enough to express how wrongheaded this is. Beginning around 18:08 in the video, RFK Jr. spews essentially unchallenged easily refuted antivaccine tropes, disinformation, pseudoscience, and talking points.
