Maybe putting a conspiracist antivaxer in charge of US health was a bad idea?

Denying the magic of mRNA is fucking bizarre. Before you know it, this fuckwit will be injecting HIV into your eyeballs in place of vaccinations.

Considering how stupidly they misunderstood the concept of "herd immunity" I wouldn't be surprised.

mRNA vaccines are some of the most amazing medical advancements I've seen in my 50-years. Magazines used to always have some dumb article about a new "magic bullet" treatment for all cancers. mRNA work is the closest thing I've seen to an actual magic bullet. (I know one size can't fit all with cancer, but you get my drift.)
