The MAGA War on Vaccine Science

How Trump, RFJ Jr. and Danielle Smith are dismantling public trust in medicine

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - June 24, 2025

EXCERPT: "Today, measles is back with a vengeance, driven by vaccine disinformation and the refusal of some parents to get their children vaccinated.

And polio has returned to certain impoverished regions like Afghanistan, New Guinea, Pakistan, Nigeria and yes, even the United States.

Polio was always called the ultimate nightmare disease. Dr. David Berger, writing on X, described the return of polio as the "stupidity nightmare."

A new generation has forgotten the reason our grandparents wept in the streets on April 12, 1955. They prefer to put their trust in the cranks and disinformation machines that treat medicine as the enemy. They tell themselves it is about their personal autonomy when it is really about rolling the dice with their children.

These disinformation campaigns are ramping up as killer childhood illnesses return to stalk the planet. The iron lung returns. . . ."

RFK Jr. Unleashed

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - April 22, 2025

EXCERPT: "The appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services may be the most reckless of all of Donald Trump's appointments.

Some may think that Kennedy's anti-vax beliefs are rooted in naivety or that he has gone too far down the conspiracy rabbit hole. But it was the comments by his cousin, Caroline Kennedy, that chilled me.

In a letter to U.S. Senators, she referred to RFK Jr. as a "predator."

On his views on medicine, she wrote that he was "dangerously and willfully misinformed."

But then she went further:

"Bobby [Robert Jr.] is addicted to attention and power. Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children — vaccinating his own kids while building a following by hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs."

This is the man Trump put in charge of $40 billion in cuts to the health budget. . . . . "
