    Cassidy had said he needed to hear an unequivocal statement from Kennedy that vaccines do not cause autism and indicate he would listen to well-established science on the matter. It was unclear whether Kennedy had made that assertion.

    “I will vote yes” Cassidy said.

    Absolute spineless fucks.

    Some will say “RFK Jr. just said it privately”, but if that is the case, then it’s fucking worse.

      BTW, I just got a thought. With RFK’s past (not talking about the brain parasite and his paranoid delusions in the last 10-15 years) and, ahem, manner of speech, is it possible he just has well-masked Aspergers himself?

      That would explain the part about “vaccines causing autism”, because, say, my dad was terribly afraid of psychiatrists and had a weird idea that one can “get” autism, and, as you might guess, he was kinda clearly undiagnosed autistic. Or maybe diagnosed and hiding it.

      So - RFK is of the older generation where the stigma was stronger. Maybe part of his conspiracy theories is from denial of his own condition. He definitely does seem like a person with strange facial dynamic.

    There’s one good thing in this all - Americans will learn bravery.

    That quality tends to naturally diminish, especially when your country is the hegemon of the world.
