RFK Jr. goes full anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist over 2 PA measles deaths

https://www.techdirt.com/2026/08/31/rfk-jr-goes-full-anti-vaxxer-conspiracy-theorist-over-2-pa-measles-deaths/

When we just discussed the 2 recent deaths in Pennsylvania that came as a result of measles infections, we noted that there was very little information about the deceased.

Some additional information has since been released, in particular the fact that one of those that died was a newborn child. This is the sort of fact that is heartbreaking to those of us with normal, functional brains.

Or, if you’re RFK Jr., it’s the kind of fact that causes you to drop the whole facade and go full on anti-vaxxer conspiracy clown.

"Goes"? Pretty sure he was already there.

Kennedy [railed] against the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine [...] Kennedy went on to blame national declines in vaccination rates on the Biden administration.

So - you shouldn't get vaccinated, but if you didn't get vaccinated it's Biden's fault.
