Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is distancing himself from his anti-vaccine work as he seeks to become the leader of the nation’s top health agency under President Donald Trump, according to government ethics documents released Wednesday.
Kennedy has pulled in roughly $10 million in income from his work over the past year, which includes speaking fees, leading an anti-vaccine nonprofit and legal fees, government ethics forms filed for his nomination show. He has millions of dollars more tied up in investments and other assets.
If confirmed, he has promised to stop collecting fees on some of his vaccine lawsuits involving the U.S. government.
The idea of pain doesn’t really factor into my issue with needles, I’m not worried about it hurting, I’m just skeeved out by the needle itself.
If it were an option I’d gladly take needle-less vaccines and blood draws that hurt 10× worse (which still wouldn’t be that bad, needles really don’t hurt much)
Hell, if they hurt more I’d probably have less of an issue with them. I’d rather have an actual reason to dislike them instead of just a random case of the heebie-jeebies for no particular reason.
